First Claim
1. A wireless power transmission apparatus comprising:
- a transmission antenna that comprises a transmission coil, and that transmits an electric power signal;
a driver that applies a driving signal to the transmission antenna;
a first temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the transmission coil, and that generates a first temperature signal;
a second temperature sensor that measures a temperature of an interface surface on which an electronic device mounting a wireless power receiving apparatus is to be placed, and that generates a second temperature signal; and
a control circuit that controls the driver, and that controls the electric power signal according to a difference between the first temperature signal and the second temperature signal.

Abstract
A transmission antenna includes a transmission coil, and transmits an electric power signal. A driver applies a driving signal to the transmission antenna. A first temperature sensor measures the temperature of the transmission coil, and generates a first temperature signal. A second temperature sensor measures the temperature of an interface surface on which an electronic device mounting a wireless power receiving apparatus is to be placed, and generates a second temperature signal. A control circuit controls the electric power signal according to the difference between the first temperature signal S11 and the second temperature signal.
