Dependent claims

A power supply device, comprising:

circuitry configured to:
determine a type of a power source, wherein the type of the power source corresponds to at least a first electric power supplied from the power source;
acquire power receiving capability data of a power receiving device, wherein the power receiving capability data indicates at least a second electric power of the power receiving device;
verify that the at least first electric power supplied from the type of the power source is less than or equal to the at least second electric power of the power receiving device;
and
control, based on the verification of the at least first electric power and the at least second electric power, transmission of the at least first electric power from the power source to the power receiving device.
