Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7173349
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention provides a power supply apparatus capable of, regardless of the presence of a moving obstruction, preventing interruption of wireless power supply processing performed between the power supply apparatus and a plurality of power reception apparatuses. For this purpose, a power supply apparatus (10) according to the present invention includes a power supply antenna (10a), a directivity control unit (10f), a position information acquisition unit (10b), and a control unit (10c). The power supply antenna (10a) emits, to a plurality of power reception apparatuses (1), a radio wave that is based on a power supply signal. The directivity control unit controls directivity of the power supply antenna (10a). The position information acquisition unit acquires position information indicating a position of a moving obstruction (2). The control unit (10c) determines, based on the position information, a power reception apparatus (1), among the plurality of power reception apparatuses (1), to which power is supplied while avoiding the obstruction (2). The control unit (10c) controls the directivity control unit (10f) to steer the radio wave toward the determined power reception apparatus.
