NON-CONTACT CHARGING SYSTEM

Abstract:

Corresponding to a case in which the existence and the type of foreign matter that obstructs power transmission around a power transmission unit are detected when a battery mounted on a vehicle is charged by a non-contact method, a power transmission amount of the power transmission unit is reduced, and the reduction amount is controlled according to a difference in the type of the foreign matter. A notification for urging the removal of the foreign matter is intentionally omitted when it is predicted that the charging of the battery mounted on the vehicle is completed before a use start time of the vehicle or before a predetermined period elapses from the use start time of the vehicle even if the power transmission amount of the power transmission unit is reduced.
