Abstract:
Apparatus and method for managing connections of a plurality of devices by a Near Field Communication (NFC) Controller (NFCC) through NFC. The method includes setting identification information of an entity, the entity being requested from an NFC device for a connection with the NFC device; and setting a logical link between the NFC device and the entity based on the identification information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for selectively securing records in a Near Field Communication Data Exchange Format (NDEF) message in a Near Field Communication (NFC) device are provided. The method includes generating a place marker signature record by setting a URI_present field to ‘0’ and setting a signature_type field to a predefined value, wherein a combination of the URI_present field set to ‘0’ and the signature_type field set to the predefined value indicates that a signature Record Type Definition (RTD) is a place marker signature record; and placing the place marker signature record in the NDEF message, wherein a set of records following the place marker signature record are secured.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for supporting mobility of a mobile terminal in a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system. The method includes activating only necessary light sources for VLC considering the mobility of the mobile terminal, instead of using total light sources for VLC. Consequently, power consumption can be significantly reduced.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling charging of a battery by a wireless power receiving apparatus, using a charging power provided from a wireless power transmission device are provided. The method includes initiating charging of a battery by using a charging power provided by a resonator for wirelessly receiving power; determining whether charging of the battery has been completed; and terminating, when the charging of the battery has been completed, an operation of the resonator.
Abstract:
A wireless charging apparatus and method are provided. The method includes transmitting a power supplying device search signal by a wireless power receiving device; recognizing a plurality of power supplying devices by receiving power supplying device search response signals; sending a power supply request to a first power supplying device among the plurality of power supplying devices; sending a power supply request to a second power supplying device upon receiving a charging rejection signal from the first power supplying device; and performing wireless charging by receiving power from the second power supplying device upon receiving a charging permission signal from the second power supplying device.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for wireless charging are disclosed. The method includes transmitting a wireless power supply apparatus search signal, receiving a wireless power supply apparatus search response signal and recognizing multiple apparatuses for wirelessly supplying power, sending a request for wirelessly supplying power to a first apparatus, sending a request for cooperative charging to a second apparatus, and receiving first and second power from the first and the second apparatuses, respectively, and performing wireless charging according to reception of a cooperative charging permission signal from the second apparatus for wirelessly supplying power.
