Techniques for detecting the presence of a magnetic field associated with a wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) system are disclosed. An example of an apparatus for alerting a user of the presence of a magnetic field according to the disclosure includes a mobile device and at least one magnetic flux sensor integrated as part of the mobile device or operably coupled to the mobile device, the at least one magnetic flux sensor configured to detect the presence of the magnetic field associated with a wireless electric vehicle charging system, the mobile device configured to generate an alert based on the presence of the magnetic field detected by the at least one magnetic flux sensor.

Methods for warning of electromagnetic fields produced by wireless electric vehicle charging systems

This application describes methods and apparatus for controlling touchscreen interferences. In one aspect, a wireless power device for receiving charging power via a wireless charging field of a wireless charging device is provided. The wireless power device comprises a sensor circuit configured to detect at least one signal from a touchscreen, the detected at least one signal indicating an interaction with the touchscreen. The wireless power device further comprises a processor circuit configured to determine whether the detected at least one signal is a result of a false contact with the touchscreen resulting from the wireless charging field. The wireless power device further comprises a transmitter circuit configured to transmit, based on determining that the detected at least one signal is a result of the false contact with the touchscreen, a first message to the wireless charging device to lower a strength of the wireless charging field.
