1. A power supply apparatus comprising:
- a wireless power supply unit that wirelessly supplies power to an electronic device;
a wireless communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the electronic device;
a detection unit that detects a change of a position of the electronic device; and
a control unit that sets a predetermined time for supplying power to the electronic device,wherein the control unit sets, regardless of a direction of the change of the position of the electronic device, the predetermined time to a first time in a case where the detection unit detects the change of the position of the electronic device,wherein the control unit sets the predetermined time to a second time in a case where the detection unit does not detect the change of the position of the electronic device,wherein the control unit controls the wireless power supply unit to wirelessly supply power to the electronic device for the set predetermined time, andwherein the first time is shorter than the second time.
