1. A wireless power supply system for wirelessly supplying power to an assigned power receiving apparatus, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory storing computer executable code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to function as;
an assigning unit configured to assign, to the power receiving apparatus, a power transmitting apparatus;
a determining unit configured to determine a power supplying schedule such that, when the assigning unit assigns, to a particular power receiving apparatus, a plurality of power transmitting apparatuses including one master power transmitting apparatus and a plurality of slave power transmitting apparatuses, the plurality of power transmitting apparatuses supply the power to the particular power receiving apparatus, not simultaneously; and
a power transmission controlling unit configured to control a power transmission such that, according to an instruction from the master power transmitting apparatus, in a period assigned by the master power transmitting apparatus to each of the plurality of power transmitting apparatuses, the plurality of slave power transmitting apparatuses supply the power to the power receiving apparatus.
