A wireless power transmission device includes power transmission coils for transmitting power to a wireless power reception device; inverters for applying alternating current power to the coils; a communication module using a frequency different from that of the power transmitted from the coils; and a processor. The processor controls the inverters such that first power is sequentially applied to the coils respectively, receives a communication signal from the reception device through the communication module while the first power is being sequentially applied, identifies a first coil corresponding to a position of the reception device based on of a reception time point of the communication signal and time points at which the first power starts to be applied to the coils, and controls a first inverter corresponding to the first coil such that second power for charging the reception device is applied to the first coil.

Electronic device for transmitting wireless power having a plurality of power transmission coils and operating method therefor to identify position of a wireless power reception device

Disclosed is an electronic device including a plurality of sensing coils for sensing an external device; a power transmitting coil for transmitting power to the external device; and a processor configured to: sequentially apply, to the power transmitting coil, powers having magnitudes respectively set to correspond to the plurality of sensing coils, and during a period in which power corresponding to each sensing coil of the plurality of sensing coils among the powers is applied, identify induction voltages respectively induced in the plurality of sensing coils, and sense the external device located on a wireless power transmitting device, on the basis of the identified induction voltages.

Electronic device for transmitting wireless power and operating method therefor
