1. A contact-less power transmitter, comprising:

  • a transmitting circuit for transmitting electric power to at least one contact-less power receiver in non-contact fashion;

    at least one storage pocket for accommodating one of the contact-less power receivers;

    a storage detector for detecting insertion of an object into one of the storage pockets;

    an output detector for determining whether the object inserted in the storage pocket is the contact-less power receiver to which the power is to be transmitted; and

    a transmission controller for controlling the transmission of the power from the transmitting circuit;

    wherein;

    the transmitting circuit includes an excitation element and a resonance element, both corresponding to each of the storage pockets, and under a control signal from the transmission controller, transmits the power from one storage pocket specified by the transmission controller; and

    the transmission controller, upon the storage detector detecting the insertion of the object, uses information from the output detector to determine whether the object is the contact-less power receiver to which the power is to be transmitted, and upon the object being determined to be the contact-less power receiver, controls the transmitting circuit to transmit the power from the corresponding storage pocket.
