  • Patent number: 9705352
    Abstract: A wireless charging method includes determining whether at least one wireless charging device is in a wireless charging area. When it is determined that there is one wireless charging device in the wireless charging area, the wireless charging device is charged. When it is determined that at least two wireless charging devices are in the wireless charging area, the priority of wireless charging among the at least two wireless charging devices is determined, and the wireless charging device having higher priority is wirelessly charged.
