Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A power transmission apparatus comprising a controller that controls a power transmitter that performs wireless power transmission, the controller comprising a processor and a memory with instructions thereon, wherein the instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
cause the power transmitter to emit a first power transmission beam for which a first power is set;
acquire feedback information on a result of reception of the first transmission beam in a power reception apparatus;
identify a power receiving capability of the power reception apparatus; and
determine, with reference to the power receiving capability and the reception result, a second power which is usable for wireless power supply for the power reception apparatus and which is larger than the first power; and
the power receiving capability including a maximum value of an input power range of the power reception apparatus, and
the wireless power transmission using an electromagnetic wave having a frequency equal to or higher than that of a microwave, and wherein
the instructions upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
identify at least a minimum value and the maximum value of the input power range, and
determine the second power such that a reception power in the power reception apparatus falls within the input power range when the power transmitter emits a second power transmission beam for which the second power is set.
