Charging apparatus
First Claim
1. A charging apparatus comprising:
- a charging unit configured to perform a contactless charging process, wherein the contactless charging process includes a process for supplying power to an external device; and
a control unit configured to perform a predetermined process for reducing a voltage supplied to the external device based on whether a distance between an object and the charging apparatus is less than a predetermined value if the contactless charging process is performed, wherein the object does not include a chargeable device.

Abstract
A charging apparatus includes: a charging unit configured to perform a contactless charging operation for a placed external device; a detector configured to detect a position of a placed object; a determining unit configured to determine that the placed object is an external device compatible with the charging unit; and a control unit configured to control the charging unit such that, during the contactless charging operation for an external device compatible with the charging unit, the charging operation for the external device being charged is restricted when an object that is determined by the determining unit not to be an external device compatible with the charging unit, has been placed within a predetermined distance from the charging unit.
