Abstract
A power supply device is caused to execute a new program. An electronic apparatus that receives power from a power supply device in a non-contact manner includes: an intra-apparatus circuit that operates with power received via a power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus; a program acquiring unit that acquires a program to be executed by the power supply device from outside, and stores the program; and an apparatus-side communicating unit that transmits the program to the power supply device via the power transmission path.

1-20. (canceled)
An electronic apparatus that receives power from a power supply device in a non-contact manner, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a power receiving unit that receives power via a power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus;
- a program acquiring unit that acquires a program to be executed by the power supply device from outside, and stores the program;
- and
- an apparatus-side communicating unit that transmits the program from the electronic apparatus to the power supply device via the power transmission path.
An electronic apparatus that receives power from a power supply device in a non-contact manner, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a program acquiring unit that acquires a program to be executed by the power supply device from outside, and stores the program;
- and
- a power receiving unit that receives power transmitted from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus, and transmits the program from the electronic apparatus to the power supply device.
An electronic apparatus that receives power from a power supply device in a non-contact manner, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a power receiving unit that receives power via a power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus;
- a power charge control unit that supplies, to a secondary battery, power that the power receiving unit has received from the power supply device, and causes the power to be stored in the secondary battery;
- an apparatus-side communicating unit that receives, from the power supply device via the power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus, a program to be executed by the electronic apparatus;
- and
- a processor that executes the program received by the apparatus-side communicating unit to control the electronic apparatus.

- and
- a control processor that executes the program received by the supply-side communicating unit to control power supply to the electronic apparatus.
A power supply device that supplies power to an electronic apparatus in a non-contact manner, the power supply device comprising:
- a power supply unit that supplies power from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus, and receives a program that is transmitted from the electronic apparatus to the power supply device and is to be executed by the electronic apparatus;
- and
- a control processor that executes the program received by the power supply unit to control power supply to the electronic apparatus.
A system comprising an electronic apparatus and a power supply device that supplies power to the electronic apparatus in a non-contact manner, wherein
- the electronic apparatus includes:
- a power receiving unit that receives power via a power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus;
- a program acquiring unit that acquires a program to be executed by the power supply device from outside, and stores the program;
- and
- an apparatus-side communicating unit that transmits the program from the electronic apparatus to the power supply device via the power transmission path, and
- the power supply device includes:
- a power supply unit that supplies power to the electronic apparatus via the power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus;
- a supply-side communicating unit that receives the program from the electronic apparatus via the power transmission path;
- and
- a control processor that executes the program received by the supply-side communicating unit to control power supply to the electronic apparatus.
A system comprising an electronic apparatus and a power supply device that supplies power to the electronic apparatus in a non-contact manner, wherein
- the power supply device includes:
- a program acquiring unit that acquires a program to be executed by the electronic apparatus from outside, and stores the program;
- and
- an apparatus-side communicating unit that transmits, to the electronic apparatus via a power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus, the program that the program acquiring unit stores, and
- the electronic apparatus includes:
- a power receiving unit that receives power via the power transmission path;
- a power charge control unit that supplies, to a secondary battery, power that the power receiving unit has received from the power supply device, and causes the power to be stored in the secondary battery;
- an apparatus-side communicating unit that receives the program from the power supply device via the power transmission path from the power supply device to the electronic apparatus;
- and
- a processor that executes the program received by the apparatus-side communicating unit to control the electronic apparatus.
An apparatus that exchanges power with another apparatus in a non-contact manner, the apparatus comprising a communicating unit that performs at least either one of transmission and reception of a program between the apparatus and the other apparatus via a power transmission path for exchanging power with the other apparatus in a non-contact manner.
