  • Publication number: 20240097492
    Abstract: A deriver derives a difference defined as a distance between a position of a charging coil and a position of an electronic appliance. An extractor extracts a detection tolerance from a table stored in a table storage, based on information related to a model of the electronic appliance. A transmitter transmits the difference and the detection tolerance to the electronic appliance. The electronic appliance determines a first power when a magnitude of a combination of the difference and the detection tolerance is equal to or smaller than a threshold value and determines a second power when the magnitude of the combination of the difference and the detection tolerance is larger than the threshold value. The first power is larger than the second power. A power controller adjusts a magnitude of power to be transported from the charging coil according to an instruction from the electronic appliance.

  • Publication number: 20180115977
    Abstract: An other-channel received-power measurement unit of an access point measures a channel occupancy rate due to communication between the access point itself and a terminal connected to the access point itself in a communication channel. A communication-channel received-power measurement unit measures received powers from another access point using the communication channel and a terminal connected to the other access point. The other-channel received-power measurement unit measures received powers from another access point using a channel other than the communication channel and a terminal connected to the other access point. An interference-power calculation unit and an interference-occupancy-rate calculation unit of a control station device obtains an interference power and an interference occupancy rate between each pair among the access points, based on the channel occupancy rate, the first received power, and the second received power in each access point.
