POWER SUPPLY DEVICE, ADAPTER, POWER RECEIVING DEVICE, AND POWER SUPPLY METHOD
First Claim
1. A power supply device, comprising:
- a connection state determiner that determines a connection state between an external power recipient device and a power line on which electric power is transmitted;
a communication control unit that, in a case where the connection state determiner determines that the external power recipient device is connected to the power line, causes information related to power receiving capability corresponding to the external power recipient device to be acquired by wireless communication;
a power receiving capability specifier that specifies the power receiving capability of the external power recipient device on the basis of the acquired information related to the power receiving capability; and
a power control unit that causes electric power compatible with the external power recipient device to be transmitted on the basis of the specified power receiving capability.
