Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power transmitting apparatus, in a case where at least one of a transmission power measured in one state from among a plurality of different states or a received power obtained in the one state is unstable, does not use the transmission power and the received power in calculating the parameter used in determining whether or not an object not an intended power transmission target exists.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A communication method for a power transmission apparatus, the communication method comprising: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the first received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received from the power receiving apparatus; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the second received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value. 2 . A communication method for a power transmission apparatus, the communication method comprising: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received from a power receiving apparatus is a predetermined value; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet is a predetermined value; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value. 3 . The communication method according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined value is a value that does not exceed a predetermined threshold. 4 . A power transmission apparatus comprising: a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to a power receiving apparatus; and a communication unit configured to communicate with the power receiving apparatus, wherein the communication unit is configured to perform: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the first received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received from the power receiving apparatus; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the second received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value. 5 . A power transmission apparatus comprising: a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to a power receiving apparatus; and a communication unit configured to communicate with the power receiving apparatus, wherein the communication unit is configured to perform: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received from a power receiving apparatus is a predetermined value; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet is a predetermined value; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value. 6 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a communication method performed by a power transmission apparatus, the communication method comprising: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the first received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received from the power receiving apparatus; transmitting an acknowledgement response or a negative acknowledgement response to the second received power packet based on values indicated by a plurality of Control Error packets received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value. 7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a communication method performed by a power transmission apparatus, the communication method comprising: receiving a plurality of Control Error packets including information for controlling transmission power; receiving a first received power packet including information indicating a value of a first received power; receiving, after receiving the first received power packet, a second received power packet including information indicating a value of a second received power; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received from a power receiving apparatus is a predetermined value; transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet in a case where a value indicated by a Control Error packet received after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the first received power packet is a predetermined value; and, receiving, after transmitting an acknowledgement response to the second received power packet, a third received power packet including information indicating a third received power value.
