1. A communication terminal comprising:
- a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with another communication terminal;
a battery;
a display;
a contactless power transmitting coil; and
circuitry configured tocontrol the display to display at least one of a phone number or registered name of a user corresponding to the another communication terminal together with an amount of power to be transmitted to the another communication terminal;
control the display to display a notice when an amount of power remaining in the battery is below a predetermined threshold, the notice prompting a user input confirming that power should still be transmitted to the another communication terminal even though the amount of power remaining in the battery is below the predetermined threshold;
control transmission of contactless electric power to the another communication terminal by the contactless power transmitting coil at a predetermined resonance frequency; and
control the wireless communication interface to transmit, to the another communication terminal, an instruction indicating the predetermined resonance frequency for receiving the contactless electric power transmitted from the contactless power transmitting coil.

12. A power transfer method performed by a communication terminal, the method comprising:
-
displaying at least one of a phone number or registered name of a user corresponding to another communication terminal to which power is transmitted from the communication terminal together with an amount of power to be transmitted to the another communication terminal; displaying a notice when an amount of power remaining in a battery of the communication terminal is below a predetermined threshold, the notice prompting a user input confirming that power should still be transmitted to the another communication terminal even though the amount of power remaining in the battery is below the predetermined threshold; transmitting, from a wireless communication interface of the communication terminal to another communication terminal, an instruction indicating a predetermined resonance frequency for receiving contactless electric power transmitted from a contactless power transmitting coil of the communication terminal; and transmitting, by the contactless power transmitting coil of the communication terminal, contactless electric power to the another terminal at the predetermined resonance frequency in accordance with the instruction. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
