1. A non-contact type power supply apparatus comprising:
- a power unit configured to contactlessly transmit power to one or more power receiving apparatuses;
a communicating unit configured to communicate with the one or more power receiving apparatuses; and
a controlling unit configured to;
terminate communications with the one or more power receiving apparatuses in response to a communications signal level of the one or more power receiving apparatuses transmitted to the communicating unit being equal to or less than a reference signal level,calculate distances from the one or more power receiving apparatuses to the non-contact type power supply apparatus based on the communication signal level, andcontrol transmitting the power in an order from a power receiving apparatus estimated as being at a closest distance to a power receiving apparatus estimated as being at a farthest distance.

11. A power supply method of transmitting power in a non-contact type manner, the power supply method comprising:
-
requesting a connection to one or more power receiving apparatuses; receiving an advertisement from the one or more power receiving apparatuses in response to the requested connection; determining a termination of the connection with the one or more power receiving apparatuses by comparing a signal level of the received advertisement and a reference signal level; terminating the connection with the one or more power receiving apparatuses in response to the signal level of the received advertisement being equal to or less than the reference signal level; calculating distances from the one or more power receiving apparatuses to the non-contact type power supply apparatus based on the signal level of the received advertisement; and controlling transmission of the power in an order from a power receiving apparatus estimated as being at a closest distance to a power receiving apparatus estimated as being at a farthest distance. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
