Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a power transmitter, a receiver and control circuitry. The power transmitter is configured to transmit power to a first electronic apparatus by an electromagnetic waves. The receiver is configured to receive a communication signal wirelessly from a second electronic apparatus. The control circuitry is configured to control power transmitted by the power transmitter, based on at least detection sensitivity of the receiver.
