8. A charging apparatus comprising:
-
a charging unit adapted to charge, in a non-contact manner, an apparatus to be charged placed in a charging region; a detector adapted to detect a charge state of the apparatus to be charged placed in the charging region; a controller adapted to change a mode of the apparatus to be charged to a mode that inhibits vibration, according to the charged state detected by the detector; and a second detecting unit adapted to detect that an apparatus to be charged is newly placed in a charging region; wherein the detector detects a charged state of the newly placed apparatus to be charged, and wherein the controller changes a mode of an apparatus to be charged other than the apparatus to be charged newly placed in the charging region, to a mode that inhibits vibration, according to the charged state of the newly placed apparatus to be charged detected by the detector.

14. A method for controlling a charging apparatus, comprising steps of:
-
charging, in a non-contact manner, an apparatus to be charged placed in a charging region; detecting a charged state of the apparatus to be charged placed in the charging region; changing a mode of the apparatus to be charged to a mode that inhibits vibration, according to the detected charged state; and second detecting that an apparatus to be charged is newly placed in a charging region, wherein the detecting step detects a changed state of the newly placed apparatus to be charged, wherein the changing step changes a mode of an apparatus to be charged other than the apparatus to be charged newly placed in the charging region, to a mode that inhibits vibration, according to the detected charged state of the newly placed apparatus to be charged.
