Power receiving apparatus, power transmitting apparatus, control methods therefor, and storage medium

A control method for a power receiving apparatus that wirelessly receives power from a power transmitting apparatus and includes a communication unit configured to communicate with the power transmitting apparatus, the method comprising:

• executing detection of another apparatus capable of performing short-range wireless communication;
• determining whether the power transmitting apparatus has a detection function of detecting another apparatus capable of performing short-range wireless communication;
• and
• controlling whether to execute the detection of another apparatus,
• wherein, in the controlling, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the power transmitting apparatus does not have the detection function, the detection of another apparatus is controlled to be executed when a detection status of another apparatus by the detection is undetermined, and the detection is controlled not to be executed when the detection status is determined, and
• the communication unit transmits, to the power transmitting apparatus, a signal corresponding to a result of the detection.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a power receiving apparatus that wirelessly receives power from a power transmitting apparatus and includes a communication unit configured to communicate with the power transmitting apparatus, the method comprising:

• executing detection of another apparatus capable of performing short-range wireless communication;
• determining whether the power transmitting apparatus has a detection function of detecting another apparatus capable of performing short-range wireless communication;
• and
• controlling whether to execute the detection of another apparatus,
• wherein, in the controlling, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the power transmitting apparatus does not have the detection function, the detection of another apparatus is controlled to be executed when a detection status of another apparatus by the detection is undetermined, and the detection is controlled not to be executed when the detection status is determined, and
• the communication unit transmits, to the power transmitting apparatus, a signal corresponding to a result of the detection.

A power transmitting apparatus for wirelessly transmitting power to a power receiving apparatus, comprising:

• a communication unit configured to communicate with the power receiving apparatus;
• a detection unit configured to detect another apparatus having a function capable of performing short-range wireless communication;
• and
• a notification unit configured to notify, using the communication unit, the power receiving apparatus of information representing that the detection unit is provided and information representing a detection status of another apparatus by the detection unit in response to an inquiry from the power receiving apparatus.
