  • Publication number: 20230208168
    Abstract: A power transmitting device is configured to perform contactless power supply using a power transfer signal to a power receiving device that supplies power to a power supply target. The power transmitting device includes a power transmitting antenna, a region indicator unit, and processing circuitry. The power transmitting antenna is configured to transmit a power transfer signal to the power receiving device. The region indicator unit emits a visible beam. Based on a transmitted power that is transmitted as the power transfer signal, the processing circuitry derives a power receivable region, in which the power receiving device is capable of receiving the power transfer signal as a received power greater than or equal to a specified threshold. The processing circuitry uses the region indicator unit to emit the visible beam toward at least a part of the power receivable region.
