ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING WIRELESS POWER AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR

A wireless power transmission device includes power transmission coils for transmitting power to a wireless power reception device; inverters for applying alternating current power to the coils; a communication module using a frequency different from that of the power transmitted from the coils; and a processor. The processor controls the inverters such that first power is sequentially applied to the coils respectively, receives a communication signal from the reception device through the communication module while the first power is being sequentially applied, identifies a first coil corresponding to a position of the reception device based on of a reception time point of the communication signal and time points at which the first power starts to be applied to the coils, and controls a first inverter corresponding to the first coil such that second power for charging the reception device is applied to the first coil.
