Inductive power transmission module i.e. transmitter, for use in base placed in passenger compartment of e.g. electric car, to transmit power to starting badge, has communication unit exchanging information with external controller by link

摘要

The module (100) has a communication device (106), a power transmission coil (102) and a logic module (120) communicating between the module and mobile equipment. A communication unit (112) exchanges information with an external controller (300) i.e. passenger compartment's control computer, by a transmission unit (302) i.e. multiplexed link, to convey car state information relative to passenger exit and/or presence information of the equipment. A control device (104) controls the coil, and transmission and reception devices (106e, 106r) such that the coil exchanges signals with the equipment. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control panel of a car (2) a control computer of a passenger compartment of a car (3) a method for detecting forgetfulness of a mobile device placed on an inductive power transmission module.
