Power reception control device, power transmission control device, non-contact power transmission system, power reception device, power transmission device, and electronic instrument
First Claim
1. A power reception control device that is provided in a power reception device that is included in a non-contact power transmission system, the non-contact power transmission system transmitting power from a power transmission device to the power reception device by electromagnetically coupling a primary coil and a secondary coil and transmitting the power to a first load electrically connected to the power reception device, the power reception control device comprising:
- a load modulation section that modulates a second load, the second load provided in the power reception device;
a power supply control section that controls power supply to the first load; and
a power-receiving-side control circuit that is provided in the power reception control device and controls the power reception device,the power-receiving-side control circuit supplying power to the first load, and controlling the load modulation section to operate and change the second load to transmit a signal which enables the power transmission device to detect a foreign object during a period from a start of normal power transmission to an end.

Abstract
A power-receiving-side control circuit of a power reception device performs intermittent load modulation by causing an NMOS transistor to be turned ON/OFF during normal power transmission. A power-transmission-side control circuit included in a power transmission control device of a power transmission device monitors, an intermittent change in the load of the power reception device during normal power transmission. The power-transmission-side control circuit determines that a foreign object has been inserted between a primary coil and a secondary coil and stops power transmission when an intermittent change in load cannot be detected. The amount of power supplied to the load may be compulsorily reduced when the load state of the load is heavy.
