1. A power transmission apparatus comprising:
- a wireless power transmission circuit;
a first wireless communication circuit;
a second wireless communication circuit different from the first wireless communication circuit;
a first memory storing a program;
a second memory storing first identification information corresponding to a first electronic device which has left a predetermined range during a data transfer process performed by the second wireless communication circuit with the first electronic device; and
a processor that executes a program stored in the first memory,wherein the processor determines whether or not a second electronic device is in the predetermined range,the processor causes the first wireless communication circuit to receive second identification information corresponding to the second electronic device, when the second electronic device is in the predetermined range,the processor uses the first identification information and the second identification information to determine whether or not the second electronic device being in the predetermined range is the same device as the first electronic device,the processor causes the wireless power transmission circuit to transmit power to the second electronic device, when the second electronic device being in the predetermined range is the same device as the first electronic device and the data transfer process performed by the second wireless communication circuit with the first electronic device is completed or not in progress, andthe processor causes the wireless power transmission circuit to transmit power to the second electronic device, when the second electronic device being in the predetermined range is not the same device as the first electronic device and another data transfer process performed by the second wireless communication circuit with the second electronic device is completed or not in progress.
