Patent ID: 8760006

Claim:
A wireless power transmission/reception apparatus having a communication function, comprising: a wireless power transmission device for receiving externally input power, generating a wireless power signal to be transmitted in a wireless manner, transmitting the wireless power signal in a wireless manner using a magnetic resonance method, receiving a returned wireless power signal, detecting a number of power consumption devices, transmitting the wireless power signal in a wireless manner using a resonant frequency corresponding to the detected number of power consumption devices, modulating pieces of identification (ID) data, each including an ID of a corresponding power consumption device, by using the wireless power signal as a carrier, transmitting the modulated ID data, receiving returned ID data, determining suitableness of the power consumption device, and transmitting the wireless power signal to the power consumption device; and a plurality of wireless power reception devices for receiving the wireless power signal transmitted from the wireless power transmission device using a magnetic resonance method, providing the wireless power signal to a power consumption device connected thereto, returning a remaining wireless power signal that has not been received, receiving ID data from the wireless power transmission device, and temporarily stopping the connected power consumption device and returning ID data, which will be subsequently received, to the wireless power transmission device when each ID included in the received ID data is an ID of the connected power consumption device.
