ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE, AND ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE AND POWER SUPPLY DEVICE USED IN SAID SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A power supply system for an electric vehicle that supplies power from a power supply apparatus to an electric vehicle in a non-contact manner,wherein the electric vehicle includesa vehicle-side communication section that wirelessly communicates with the power supply apparatus,a power receiving section that is supplied with power from the power supply apparatus in a non-contact manner, anda power storage section that stores power received by the power receiving section,wherein the power supply apparatus includesa vehicle detecting section that detects the entrance of the electric vehicle to a predetermined area,a power supply-side communication section that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle-side communication section of the electric vehicle,a power supply section that supplies power to the power receiving section of the electric vehicle in a non-contact manner, anda power supply-side control section that controls the power supply section, andwherein the power supply-side control sectionperforms a control for causing the power supply section to supply power of a first power value when the vehicle detecting section detects the entrance of the electric vehicle to the predetermined area, andperforms a control for causing the power supply section to supply power of a second power value greater than the first power value when it is determined that a communication is set up between the power supply-side communication section and the vehicle-side communication section in a state where the power supply section is supplying power of the first power value.

Abstract
Provided are an electric automobile to which a power supply device supplies power, and an electricity supply system capable of accurately associating the power supply device and the electric automobile carrying out communication therewith. A power supply-side control unit (24) controls such that electricity that a power supply unit (21) supplies reaches a first electricity quantity Pa before a power supply-side communications unit (23) receives a request signal from a vehicle-side communications unit (43), and controls such that electricity that the power supply unit (21) supplies reaches a second electricity quantity Pb, which is greater than the first electricity quantity Pa, after the power supply-side communications unit (23) receives the request signal from the vehicle-side communications unit (43). The vehicle-side communications unit (43) activates on the basis of the first electricity quantity Pa received from the power supply unit (21) of a power supply device (2).
