Non-contact power receiving apparatus, non-contact power transmitting apparatus, and non-contact power transmitting/receiving system
First Claim
1. A non-contact power receiving apparatus comprising:
- a power reception unit for receiving electric power from a power transmitting apparatus outside of a vehicle in a non-contact manner; and
a control device for controlling the electric power transmission from said power transmitting apparatus, said control device controlling said electric power transmission based on a monitoring result obtained by monitoring the surroundings of said vehicle, and a door state detection result obtained by detecting whether or not a door of said vehicle is open, said control device causing, if said door state detection result indicates that said door is open, said power transmitting apparatus to reduce the power of said electric power transmission, and controlling said electric power transmission without using said monitoring result, wherein said power transmitting apparatus includes a power transmission unit for transmitting the electric power to said power reception unit in a non-contact manner, and said control device causes a request to be made of said power transmitting apparatus to transmit prescribed electric power for making position adjustment between said power reception unit and said power transmission unit, and after said position adjustment is completed and a parking position of the vehicle is fixed causes are request to be made of said power transmitting apparatus to transmit electric power larger than said prescribed electric power and causes the start of detection of an object intruding into the surroundings of the vehicle based on said monitoring result, and causes issuance of a warning if the intruding object is detected.

Abstract
A non-contact power receiving apparatus includes a power reception unit for receiving electric power from a power transmitting apparatus outside of a vehicle in a non-contact manner, and a control device for controlling the electric power transmission from the power transmitting apparatus. The control device controls the electric power transmission based on a monitoring result obtained by monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle, and a door state detection result obtained by detecting whether or not a door of the vehicle is open. The control device causes, if the door state detection result indicates that the door is open, the power transmitting apparatus to reduce the power of the electric power transmission, and controls the electric power transmission without using the monitoring result.
