Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for wireless charging access point identification. A system includes a processor configured to detect communication signals from an access point. The processor is also configured to determine an access point affiliation with a wireless charging pad based on data included in the communication signals, the data also providing charging pad compatibilitycharacteristics. The processor is further configured to determine vehicle compatibility with the charging pad based on the compatibility characteristics and responsive to a vehicle being compatible with the charging pad, connect to the access point.

Description

technical field [0001] The illustrative embodiments relate generally to a method and apparatus for identification of wireless charging access points. Background technique [0002] As electric vehicles become more common, more and more locations will have charging stations for these vehicles. There are two typical ways to fully charge an electric vehicle: wired charging, which involves connecting a charging cable to the vehicle, and wireless inductive charging, which involves positioning the vehicle on or near an inductive charging pad, whereby The inductive charging pad wirelessly charges the vehicle battery. [0003] In wired charging, the information connection is usually provided as part of the connecting cable. This facilitates the exchange of information between vehicles and charging stations, allowing charging to be configured, measured, monitored and paid for. [0004] In wireless vehicle charging, the driver typically precisely positions the vehicle on the chargin...
