Abstract:
An example method is performed at a near-field charging pad that includes a wireless communication component, and a plurality of power-transfer zones that each respectively include at least one power-transferring element and a signature-signal receiving circuit. The method includes: sending, by a respective power-transferring element included in a first power-transfer zone of the plurality of power-transfer zones, test power transmission signals with first values for a set of transmission characteristics. The method also includes: in conjunction with sending each of the power transmission signals: detecting, using the signature-signal receiving circuit, respective amounts of reflected power at the first power-transfer zone. The method further includes: based on the respective amounts of reflected power, determining whether (i) an authorized wireless power receiver and/or (ii) an object other than a wireless power receiver is present on a surface of the charging pad that is adjacent the first power-transfer zone.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein:\n the determining that the authorized wireless power receiver is present on the surface also includes determining, based on the comparison of the one or more signature signals with the one or more predefined signature signals that an object other than a wireless power receiver is present between the authorized wireless power receiver and the surface, and the method further comprises:\n determining that the near-field charging pad is configured to send power transmission signals while an object other than a wireless power receiver is present on the near-field charging pad; and \n after determining that the near-field charging pad is configured to send power transmission signals while an object other than a wireless power receiver is present on the near-field charging pad, sending the additional power transmission signals.
