Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and a method for performing wireless power transfer on the basis of heterogeneous communication. Disclosed in the present specification is a wireless power receiving device comprising: a power pickup unit configured to receive wireless power from a wireless power transfer device by magnetically coupling with the wireless power transfer device at an operating frequency, and convert an alternating current signal generated by the wireless power into a direct current signal; a communication/control unit configured to receive the direct current signal from the power pickup unit, and perform an in-band communication using the operating frequency and/or an out-band communication using a frequency other than the operating frequency; and a load configured to receive the direct current signal from the power pickup unit. Configuration information, control information and management information related to wireless power transfer, and procedures related to the exchange thereof are defined as an out-band communication protocol, and thus various applications of wireless power can be supported.
