COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to another communication apparatus; and
a determination unit configured to determine, based on a detection result of a load change performed by the other communication apparatus in response to the other communication apparatus receiving first power transmitted by the power transmission unit, whether to wirelessly transmit, to the other communication apparatus, second power higher than the first power,wherein the power transmission unit transmits the second power wirelessly to the other communication apparatus in accordance with a result of the determination by the determination unit.

Abstract
A communication apparatus includes first communication means having a first communication function for wirelessly communicating with a partner apparatus, and second communication means having an electric power supply function for wirelessly supplying electric power to the partner apparatus and a second communication function for wirelessly communicating with the partner apparatus. The second communication function is for transmitting specific data sequence to the partner apparatus in response to reception of specific data from the partner apparatus, and the electric power supply function is for supplying electric power to the partner apparatus in a case of receiving from the partner apparatus, with the first communication means, a signal indicating that the partner apparatus has received the data sequence.
