Abstract
A mobile object apparatus includes an electric power reception unit that receives electric power transmitted in a non-contact manner from, out of a plurality of power feed apparatuses that are allocated to a plurality of small areas within a predetermined area and are capable of transmitting electric power in a non-contact manner, the power feed apparatus allocated to the small area adjacent to the mobile object apparatus, a drive unit that executes a movement operation on the predetermined area, and an electric power storage unit that stores an electric power amount requisite for the movement operation to the small areas within a predetermined range from the adjacent small area.
Claims11
A mobile object apparatus, comprising:
- an electric power reception unit that receives electric power transmitted in a non-contact manner from, out of a plurality of power feed apparatuses that are allocated to a plurality of small areas within a predetermined area and are capable of transmitting electric power in a non-contact manner, the power feed apparatus allocated to the small area adjacent to the mobile object apparatus;
- a drive unit that executes a movement operation on the predetermined area;
- and
- an electric power storage unit that stores an electric power amount requisite for the movement operation to the small areas within a predetermined range from the adjacent small area.
A non-contact power feed system, comprising:
- a plurality of power feed apparatuses that are allocated to a plurality of small areas within a predetermined area and are capable of transmitting electric power in a non-contact manner;
- and
- a mobile object apparatus that receives power feed from the power feed apparatus allocated to the small area adjacent to the mobile object apparatus and executes a movement operation on the predetermined area,
- the mobile object apparatus including
- an electric power reception unit that receives electric power transmitted from the power feed apparatus in a non-contact manner,
- a drive unit that executes the movement operation on the predetermined area, and
- an electric power storage unit that stores an electric power amount requisite for the movement operation to the small areas within a predetermined range from the adjacent small area.
A method of driving a mobile object apparatus, comprising:
- receiving, by an electric power reception unit, electric power transmitted in a non-contact manner from, out of a plurality of power feed apparatuses that are allocated to a plurality of small areas within a predetermined area and are capable of transmitting electric power in a non-contact manner, the power feed apparatus allocated to the small area adjacent to the mobile object apparatus;
- executing, by a drive unit, a movement operation on the predetermined area;
- and
- storing, by an electric power storage unit, an electric power amount requisite for the movement operation to the small areas within a predetermined range from the adjacent small area.
