Power transmission apparatus, power reception apparatus, control method, and computer-readable storage medium

Abstract

A power transmission apparatus that can wirelessly transmit power to a power reception apparatus via a power transmission coil and communicate with the power reception apparatus determines presence/absence of an object different from the power reception apparatus based on a Q factor of the power transmission coil measured in a phase for performing power transmission. The power transmission apparatus controls whether to execute the determination of presence/absence of the object different from the power reception apparatus based on measurement of the Q factor of the power transmission coil, based on information received from the power reception apparatus through communication that represents whether the power reception apparatus can execute predetermined processing associated with the determination of presence/absence of the object different from the power reception apparatus based on the measurement of the Q factor of the power transmission coil.
