  • Patent number: 8760006
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless power transmission/reception apparatus and method having a communication function. The wireless power transmission/reception apparatus includes a wireless power transmission device and wireless power transmission devices. The wireless power transmission device receives a returned wireless power signal, detects the number of power consumption devices, modulates pieces of ID data, each including ID of a corresponding power consumption device, transmits the modulated ID data, receives returned ID data, and determines suitableness of the power consumption devices. Each of the wireless power reception devices returns a remaining wireless power signal which is not received among wireless power signals from the wireless power transmission device, and temporarily stops a power consumption device when an ID of the received ID data is an ID of a power consumption device connected thereto, thus returning ID data which will be subsequently received to the wireless power transmission device.
