VEHICLE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle electric power supply system that supplies electric power wirelessly to a vehicle that is positioned within an electric power supply area, the system comprising:
- a power-receiving device that is provided in the vehicle;
a plurality of power-transmitting devices that are provided at mutually different positions within the electric power supply area;
a position detecting device that detects the position of the power-receiving device within the electric power supply area; and
a control device that, based on detection results from the position detecting device, selects from among the plurality of power-transmitting devices the power-transmitting device that is located in a position that corresponds to the power-receiving device, and then causes power to be supplied wirelessly from the selected power-transmitting device,wherein, when the position detecting device has detected the positions of a plurality of the power-receiving devices within the electric power supply area, then the control device selects, based on the detection results from the position detecting device, from among the plurality of power-transmitting devices, the respective power-transmitting devices that are placed in positions that correspond to each one of the plurality of power-receiving devices, and causes power to be supplied wirelessly from the selected power-transmitting devices.

Abstract
The present invention is vehicle electric power supply system (A) that supplies electric power wirelessly to a vehicle (M) that is positioned within an electric power supply area (X). The vehicle electric power supply system (A) has: a power-receiving device (m1) that is provided in the vehicle; a plurality of power-transmitting devices (1a1, 1a2, 1a3, 1b1, 1b2, 1b3, 1c1, 1c2, 1c3) that are provided at mutually different positions within the electric power supply area; a position detecting device (4) that detects the position of the power-receiving device within the electric power supply area; and a control device (4) that, based on detection results from the position detecting device, selects from among the plurality of power-transmitting devices the power-transmitting device that is located in a position that corresponds to the power-receiving device, and then causes power to be supplied wirelessly from the selected power-transmitting device.
