Power feeding system, electrical apparatus, power feeding apparatus, and computer readable storage medium
First Claim
1. A power feeding system comprising:
- a power feeding apparatus that feeds power from a power line to an external apparatus; and
a power line communication unit that communicates via the power line, which is a communication medium, wherein;
the power feeding apparatus comprises;
an acquisition unit that acquires restriction information used to restrict the feeding of the power to the external apparatus;
a restriction unit that restricts the feeding of the power to the external apparatus to which the power feeding apparatus is to feed the power; and
a determination unit that determines as to whether or not the restriction unit has to restrict the feeding of the power, based on the restriction information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract
A power feeding system includes a power feeding apparatus and a power line communication unit. The power feeding apparatus feeds power from a power line to an external apparatus. The power line communication unit communicates via the power line, which is a communication medium. The power feeding apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a restriction unit and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires restriction information used to restrict the feeding of the power to the external apparatus. The restriction unit restricts the feeding of the power to the external apparatus to which the power feeding apparatus is to feed the power. The determination unit determines as to whether or not the restriction unit has to restrict the feeding of the power, based on the restriction information acquired by the acquisition unit.

6. An electrical apparatus comprising:
-
an operation unit that operates by receiving power from a power line through a power feeding apparatus; a control unit that controls a power consumption state of the operation unit; and an external apparatus communication unit that communicates with the power feeding apparatus, wherein; when receiving, through the external apparatus communication unit, a power restriction instruction which is sent from the power feeding apparatus in response to a determination on restriction of the feeding of the power made with using acquired restriction information, the control unit changes the power consumption state.

9. A computer readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to perform a process for power feeding, the process comprising:
-
feeding power from a power line to an external apparatus; communicating with another power feeding apparatus via the power line, which is a communication medium; acquiring information used to determine as to whether or not the feeding of the power to the external apparatus to which the power is fed has to be restricted; and restricting the feeding of the power to the external apparatus to which the power is fed when it is determined that the feeding of the power is restricted, based on the acquired information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
