Patent number: 9407109Abstract: A contactless charging system is made up of an electronic device and a contactless charger 200 that recharges the electronic device in a contactless manner. The electronic device transmits a full charge command indicating completion of charge. Upon receipt of the full charge command, the contactless charger shifts to a charge stop state in which charge of the electronic device is not performed. In the charge stop state, the contactless charger generates a load check signal for checking whether or not the electronic device is placed in the contactless charger in a rechargeable state, and transmits the signal. Further, the contactless charger also generates a charge restart check command for checking whether or not the electronic device requests recharge in a charge stop state, and transmits the command.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Takahashi, Hiroyuki Oku, Masanori Oshimi
