Power transmitting device, vehicle, and contactless power transfer system

摘要

A contactless power transfer system supplies power from a power transmitting device to a vehicle in a contactless manner. The power transmitting device and the vehicle are configured to be capable of exchanging information with each other through radio communication. The vehicle is provided with an RFID tag in which information on the vehicle is stored in advance. The power transmitting device includes an RFID reader that reads out information from the ID tag in a contactless manner. A power transmitting ECU recognizes that the vehicle is a vehicle to be supplied with power from the power transmitting device if vehicle information indicated by information from the ID tag corresponds to vehicle information indicated by information received through radio communication.

主权项

1. A power transmitting device that supplies power to a vehicle, comprising:
a power transmitting unit configured to supply power to the vehicle in a contactless manner; a readout unit configured to read out, in a contactless manner, information stored in advance in an ID tag provided in the vehicle; a communication unit configured to exchange information with the vehicle through radio communication; and a control device configured to control supply of power to the vehicle, the control device being configured to recognize that the vehicle is a vehicle to be supplied with power from the control device, if vehicle information indicated by information from the ID tag corresponds to vehicle information indicated by information received by the communication unit, wherein the control device is configured to refrain from recognizing that the vehicle is a vehicle to be supplied with power, if information is unable to be read out from the ID tag after recognizing that the vehicle is a vehicle to be supplied with power from the control device.
