Communication apparatus, control method, and storage medium
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to another communication apparatus;
a communication unit configured to communicate with said another communication apparatus to perform authentication for wireless power transfer; and
a control unit configured to control the power transmission unit,wherein, in a case where the authentication via the communication unit succeeds, the control unit controls the power transmission unit so that the power transmission unit wirelessly transmits power based on power requested by said another communication apparatus, and in a case where the authentication via the communication unit does not succeed, the control unit controls the power transmission unit so that the power transmission unit limits the wireless power transfer.

Abstract
A communication apparatus includes first communication means having a first communication function for wirelessly communicating with a partner apparatus, and second communication means having an electric power supply function for wirelessly supplying electric power to the partner apparatus and a second communication function for wirelessly communicating with the partner apparatus. The second communication function is for transmitting specific data sequence to the partner apparatus in response to reception of specific data from the partner apparatus, and the electric power supply function is for supplying electric power to the partner apparatus in a case of receiving from the partner apparatus, with the first communication means, a signal indicating that the partner apparatus has received the data sequence.
