Wireless power charging method and electronic device using same

Abstract

An electronic device may comprise: a battery; a charging circuit; a wireless power receiver circuit configured to acquire transmitted power wirelessly output from an external electronic device; and a processor. The processor may be configured to control the electronic device to: charge the battery through the charging circuit using received power acquired through the wireless power receiver circuit; identify at least one piece of information related to the charging, while the charging operation is performed; transmit a designated signal corresponding to suspension of the transmitted power to the external electronic device such that the external electronic device enters a wireless charging standby mode, in which the external electronic device holds the operation of outputting the transmitted power, at least partially based on the at least one piece of information; identify first situation information regarding the electronic device during the wireless charging standby mode; identify second situation information regarding the electronic device, in response to identifying the first situation information; and sense the electronic device being detached from the external electronic device based on the electronic device corresponding to the first situation information and the second situation information.
