Moreover, the primary power receiving device used to display the battery state of charge information of the other power receiving devices on the power transmitting device may be referred to as the primary device. The other wireless power receiving devices may be referred to as paired devices.

Furthermore, when a paired device is added to a wireless power transfer device that already has a master device, the master device can verify that the paired device is on the same pad as the master device. Then, the master device and the paired device may output user notifications synchronously.

When a paired device exists on the wireless power transfer device, the paired device may send battery charge state information to the wireless power transfer device at predetermined intervals. It is reported that in 2017, Apple announced the wireless charging accessory AirPower, but it was stopped in 2019.
