Abstract
There is provided a power receiving device including a connecting unit that is connected to a power line through which power is transmitted, a determining unit that determines whether transmitted power is chargeable, based on power identification information indicating whether the transmitted power is chargeable power, and a notification control unit that performs notification based on a determination result.
Claims6
A power receiving device, comprising:
- one or more circuits configured to:
- connect to a power line through which power is transmitted;
- determine that the transmitted power is chargeable, based on power identification information which indicates that the transmitted power is chargeable power;
- generate a notification based on a result of the determination;
- communicate with an external connection device, that is connected by a wire with the power line, by a first load modulation based on a first signal that is transmitted from the external connection device,
- wherein the power identification information is transmitted from the external connection device;
- and
- block at least a second signal of a frequency of the transmitted power, and allow a high-frequency signal that has a frequency higher than the frequency of the transmitted power and is used for the communication.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- determining that power transmitted through a power line is chargeable, based on power identification information indicating that the transmitted power is chargeable power;
- generating a notification based on a result of the determination;
- communicating with an external connection device, that is connected by a wire with the power line, by a load modulation based on a first signal that is transmitted from the external connection device,
- wherein the power identification information is transmitted from the external connection device;
- and
- blocking at least a second signal of a frequency of the transmitted power, and allowing a high-frequency signal that has a frequency higher than the frequency of the transmitted power and is used for the communication.
