Communication apparatus and method for data communication and power transmission

摘要

The object of the invention is to achieve stable operation of a communication device which includes an information transmission means and a power transmission means while maintaining communication quality. A mobile device of the invention has an information transmission means for executing non-contact transmission, a power transmission means, a first control means for controlling the information transmission means to repeat an active period and a sleep period, and a second control means for controlling the power transmission means to transmit a power during the sleep period.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit constructed to request image data stored in another communication apparatus and acquire the image data; a calculation unit constructed to calculate a first sleep period by calculating a difference between a transmission period and a time period for acquisition of the image data, wherein the first sleep period, which corresponds to a time period where power transfer can take place without interfering with the acquisition of the image data, is a time period in which the communication apparatus is not allocated the transmission period for communication of the image data; a transmission unit constructed to wirelessly transmit, to the other communication apparatus, first information which indicates a first time for the first sleep period before the first sleep period begins; and a wireless power unit constructed to wirelessly transmit power to the other communication apparatus in the first sleep period.
