Abstract
A method for detecting an object to be charged on a charging surface of a charging device, the device including at least three near-field communication antennas, two antennas each being located at one end of the device, and a third antenna being located between the two antennas. The method includes: calculating a current flowing in each of the antennas; calculating a current variation between the three antennas; comparing the variation with a predetermined current variation threshold value; and detecting an object to be charged on the surface of the charging device on the basis of the result of the comparison.
