POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND POWER RECEIVING DEVICE

摘要

Devices, methods, and programs for providing a notice indicating whether a device supports an authentication function. A method for providing notice may include performing communication with a device, making a determination whether the device is a power supply target, selectively transmitting power to the device based on a result of the determination, and providing a notice indicating whether the device supports an authentication function based on the result of the determination. A power supply device may include a communication unit, a determining unit, a power control unit, and a notice control unit. Another method for providing notice may include performing communication with a device, and providing a notice indicating whether the power supply device supports the authentication function based on a result of the communication. A power receiving device may include a communication unit and a notifying unit.
