Abstract
A mobile terminal device performs short range communication with an R/W device and receives power from a power transmission device. The mobile terminal device includes a coil antenna, an RFID IC circuit that performs short range communication with the outside via the coil antenna, a charging circuit that receives power received by the coil antenna which is capacitively coupled with a passive electrode and switches that switch to a short range communication state in which short range communication is performed via the coil antenna or a power reception state in which power is received via the coil antenna. Accordingly, a power reception device, a power transmission device and a wireless power transmission system are provided with which wireless power transmission can be realized without obstructing size reduction by giving a single member two functions.
