Abstract

The present document discloses a camera device comprising a camera sensor, a wireless communication unit configured to receive a wireless communication signal from an external device, a rotating body configured to be rotated together with the camera sensor and the wireless communication unit, a rotation driving unit configured to rotate the rotating body, a wireless power transmitter configured to transfer wireless powers to the external device, and a control unit configured to rotate the rotating body in a panning direction by the rotation driving unit, estimate direction information of the external device at least partially based on a change of a received signal strength of a wireless communication signal caused by the rotation of the rotating body, determine a transmission direction of a wireless power signal for the external device based on the direction information of the external device, and transmit the wireless power signal in the transmission direction.
