Therefore, here, the management ID 411 “0006” corresponds to the mobile phone 1.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the rank list is created by the charged device control unit 22 in accordance with a user instruction, and the rank list includes a management ID 421 and a charge rank 422. The management ID 421 is the same as the management ID 411, and the charging order 422 is the same as the charging order 412.

  The information bit “M” may be set by the charging stand 2 or may be set by the mobile phone 1. When the information bit “M” is set on the mobile phone 1, the information bit “C” and the information bit “M” are added to the basic information data # 21 b of the mobile phone 1 and transmitted to the charging stand 2.

  In addition, the mobile phone 1 includes a lighting unit (not shown), and when the lighting instruction information # 47 is acquired from the charging stand 2, the lighting unit is displayed for a predetermined time. This is provided not only in the mobile phone 1 but also in other devices to be charged (digital camera 3, portable music players 4, 5). Note that the lighting unit may be not only lighting but also blinking.

As described above, the mobile phone 1 is a device to be charged that is charged by the charging stand 2 and can control charging of the device to be charged on which the charging stand 2 is placed.
Further, by transmitting the setting target candidate information # 24b indicating the charging target device selected as the control target candidate, the charging target device can be clearly and easily presented to the user.

  In addition, since the devices to be charged (digital camera 3, portable music players 4, 5) other than the mobile phone 1 do not have a function as a management device, the device to be charged control unit 22 is omitted from the configuration of the mobile phone 1. Only the authentication reply (# 21a), basic information (# 21b), and charging status (# 14) can be transmitted to the charging stand 2.

[Processing flow in contactless charging system 10]
Next, the flow of processing in the contactless charging system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Contactless charging method according to WPC standard]
First, before explaining the flow of processing in the present embodiment, the basic flow of charging processing according to the WPC standard will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of charging processing according to the WPC standard. As shown in FIG. 5, in the WPC standard, first, the charging stand is in a standby state called “Selection phase” (PH101). Next, when the device to be charged is placed on the charging stand, a phase called “Ping phase” is entered (PH102). In the “Ping phase”, power is supplied from the charging stand to the device to be charged, and a reply is awaited. Then, if there is a correct reply, the next “Configuration & Identification phase” is entered (PH103). As a result, it is possible to prevent accidents such as heat generation by accidentally charging when a charged device that does not comply with the WPC standard or a foreign object that is not originally a charged device is placed on the charging stand. Yes.

  In the “Configuration & Identification phase”, the charging stand acquires the amount of power requested from the device to be charged and basic information of the device to be charged. Then, the next “Power Transfer phase” is entered (PH104).

  In the “Power Transfer phase”, power transmission is performed. Moreover, the state of electric power transmission is always sent to a charging stand from a to-be-charged apparatus. When charging is completed, the process returns to PH101.

  The above is the basic flow of the charging process according to the WPC standard.

[When the device to be charged is placed on the charging stand for the first time]
Next, the flow of the charging process when the device to be charged is placed on the charging stand 2 for the first time will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of processing when a device to be charged is placed on the charging stand 2 for the first time.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when a to-be-charged apparatus is mounted in the mounting part 31 of the charging stand 2, the detection part 41 of the charging stand 2 will detect this (S11). And the charge control part 42 of the charging stand 2 performs authentication communication (PH102) with respect to the to-be-charged apparatus mounted (S12).

  The mounted device to be charged recognizes that its own device is mounted on the charging stand 2 by performing authentication communication from the charging stand 2 (S21). The to-be-charged device that has been recognized as being placed on the charging stand 2 transmits basic information to the charging stand 2 (S22). Moreover, the charging stand 2 acquires basic information from a to-be-charged apparatus (S13, PH103).

  The charging stand 2 that has acquired the basic information from the device to be charged creates a device list (S14), and starts power transmission to the device to be charged (S15, PH104). And the to-be-charged apparatus which acquired electric power from the charging stand 2 starts charge (S23). Thereafter, when charging of the device to be charged is completed (S24), the charging stand 2 ends the power transmission (S16).

  The above is the flow of processing when the device to be charged is placed on the charging stand 2 for the first time.

[When the management device is placed on the charging stand for the first time]
Next, the flow of processing when a management device capable of charge control such as the mobile phone 1 is placed on the charging stand 2 for the first time will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing a processing flow when a management device is first placed on the charging stand 2.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the mobile phone 1 is placed on the placement portion 31 of the charging stand 2, the detection portion 41 of the charging stand 2 detects this (S31). And the charge control part 42 of the charging stand 2 performs authentication communication (PH102) with respect to the mounted mobile phone 1 (S32).

  The placed mobile phone 1 recognizes that its own device is placed on the charging stand 2 by performing authentication communication from the charging stand 2 (S41). The charging control unit 21 of the mobile phone 1 that has been recognized as being placed on the charging stand 2 gives the charging stand 2 basic information and an information bit indicating that the own device has a function as a management device. “C” is transmitted (S42).

  The charging table 2 that has acquired the basic information and the information bit “C” (S33, controllable information acquisition step), the device list creation unit 44 updates the device list (S34), and the charging table 2 placed on the charging table 2 is updated. An information bit “M” is set for the device that controls charging of the charging device (S35, managed device determination step). The device list in which the information bit “M” is set is stored in the device list storage unit 28. The device list at this time is, for example, a device list 401 shown in FIG. Here, it can be seen that the management ID 411 of the mobile phone 1 is “0006”, and “C” and “M” are set in the information bit 419. Further, the example shown in the device list 401 is a case where the charged device indicated by the management ID 411 “0002”, “0004”, “0005” has already been placed before the mobile phone 1 is placed. Show.

  As described above, the device that controls the charging of the device to be charged placed on the charging stand 2, that is, the device that sets the information bit “M” is the first among the devices that have the information bit “C” set. It may be a mounted device or may be determined according to the position of the mounting portion 31. Moreover, you may receive and determine the instruction | indication from a user.

  Further, instead of the configuration in which the information bit “M” is set up by the charging stand 2, the configuration in which the information bit “M” is set up by the mobile phone 1 may be acquired.

  The charging stand 2 that has updated the device list starts power transmission to the device in which the information bit “M” is set, that is, the mobile phone 1 (S36, PH104). The mobile phone 1 that has started charging due to the start of power transmission of the charging stand 2 (S43) requests the device list from the charging stand 2 (S44).

  Upon receiving the request for the device list, the charging stand 2 transmits the device list stored in the device list storage unit 28 to the mobile phone 1 (S37). And the mobile telephone 1 will display the condition of a to-be-charged apparatus on the display part 12 based on an apparatus list, if an apparatus list is acquired (S45, list acquisition step) (S46, display control step).

  Then, the mobile phone 1 receives a charge order instruction for the device to be charged from the user, performs a charge order reception process (S47, selection reception step), and the charging stand 2 performs a change presentation process (S38). Details of the process 201 including the charging order acceptance process in step S47 and the change presentation process in step S38 will be described later.

  Thereafter, the charging stand 2 performs scheduled communication (S39: described later), and when the device list is updated, the charging device 2 is charged according to the updated device list (S40).

  On the other hand, the to-be-charged device control unit 22 of the mobile phone 1 that has received the change in the charging order creates a ranking list and stores it in the ranking list storage unit 27. The ranking list is a list in which the management ID 421 and the charging ranking 422 are associated with each other as in the ranking list 402 shown in FIG. In the rank list 402, the charging rank of the chargeable device having the management ID 421 “0006” is “1”, and the management ID 421 is followed by “0002”, “0004”, and “0005”. That is, assuming that the charging order before the change is as in the device list 401, the charging order of the mobile phone 1 is increased from “4” to “1”, and the charging order of the digital camera 3 is changed from “1” to “1”. That is, the charging order of the portable music player 4 has been lowered from “2” to “3”, and the charging order of the portable music player 5 has been lowered from “3” to “4”.

  Thereafter, when communication with the charging stand 2 becomes possible by regular communication, the created ranking list is transmitted to the charging stand 2 (S48).

  The above is the processing flow when the mobile phone 1 as the management device is first placed on the charging stand 2.

[When a management device is placed on the charging stand and a device to be charged is placed]
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a description will be given of the flow of processing when the mobile phone 1 that is a management device is placed on the charging stand 2 and a device to be charged is further placed. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing when a device to be charged is further placed in a state where the mobile phone 1 as a management device is placed on the charging stand 2.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when a to-be-charged device is mounted on the mounting part 31 of the charging stand 2, the detection part 41 of the charging stand 2 detects this (S51). And the charge control part 42 of the charging stand 2 performs authentication communication (PH102) with respect to the to-be-charged apparatus mounted (S52).

  The mounted device to be charged recognizes that its own device is mounted on the charging stand 2 by performing authentication communication from the charging stand 2 (S61). The device to be charged that has been recognized as being placed on the charging stand 2 transmits basic information to the charging stand 2 (S62). Moreover, the charging stand 2 acquires basic information from a to-be-charged apparatus (S53, PH103).

  The charging stand 2 that has acquired the basic information from the device to be charged updates the device list (S54) and starts power transmission to the device to be charged (S55, PH104). And the to-be-charged device starts charging and transmits the charging status (S63).

  The charging stand 2 that has acquired the charging status of the device to be charged next performs phases PH102 to 104 on the mobile phone 1 that is the management device (S56). The mobile phone 1 that can communicate with the charging stand 2 through the PH 104 requests the device list from the charging stand 2 (S64).

  The charging stand 2 for which the device list is requested from the mobile phone 1 transmits the device list stored in the device list storage unit 48 to the mobile phone 1 (S57).

  The mobile phone 1 that has acquired the device list from the charging stand 2 (S65) updates the display on the display unit 12 based on the device list (S66). Thereafter, when the change of the charging order is accepted, the charging order change changing process is performed (S67). On the other hand, the charging stand 2 performs a change presentation process (S58).

  Thereafter, the mobile phone 1 updates the ranking list and transmits the ranking list to the charging stand 2 during regular communication (S68).

  The charging stand 2 then performs regular communication (S59). When the rank list is acquired, the charging list 2 updates the apparatus list based on the acquired rank list, and performs power transmission according to the charging rank of the updated apparatus list ( S60).

  The above is the flow of processing when the device to be charged is further placed in the state where the mobile phone 1 is placed on the charging stand 2.

[Regular communication]
Next, the scheduled communication will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing of scheduled communication.

  The scheduled communication means that the charging stand 2 periodically communicates with the management device (cell phone 1) with the information bit “M” set, so that the information updated in the management device is stored in the charging stand 2. It is reflected in.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the scheduled communication, the charging stand 2 first performs phases PH102 to 104 for the charged device (mobile phone 1) on which the information bit “M” is set (S71). The mobile phone 1 that can communicate with the charging stand 2 requests the device list from the charging stand 2 (S81).

  Receiving the request for the device list, the charging stand 2 transmits the device list stored in the device list storage unit 48 to the mobile phone 1 (S72). The mobile phone 1 that has acquired the device list updates the display on the display unit 12 based on the acquired device list (S83). If the rank list is updated, that is, if the charge rank of the acquired device list is different from the charge rank of the rank list, the rank list is transmitted to the charging stand 2 (S84).

  The charging stand 2 that acquired the order list (S73) updates the device list based on the acquired order list. Then, power transmission is performed according to the updated device list (S74).

  The above is the flow of scheduled communication.

[When turning on the charged device]
Next, in the process 201, the process flow in the case of turning on the charged device will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing when the device to be charged is turned on. Here, a case will be described in which the digital camera 3 is first selected and then the portable music player 4 is selected as a control target candidate in the mobile phone 1.

  When the mobile phone 1 displays the device list in step S46, the mobile phone 1 receives an instruction of the charging order of the device to be charged based on the device list. Specifically, first, selection of a device to be charged (setting target device) for setting a charging order is received from the displayed device list.

  And if selection of a setting object apparatus is received, setting object candidate information # 24b which shows the said setting object apparatus (here digital camera 3) will be transmitted to the charging stand 2 (S111, control object candidate information transmission step). This is performed in the PH 104 started in step S43. When the charging base 2 acquires the setting target candidate information # 24b (S101, control target candidate information acquisition step), the charging stand 2 executes PHs 102 to 104 for the digital camera 3 indicated by the setting target candidate information # 24b to display the lighting unit. Lighting instruction information # 47 that is an instruction to be transmitted is transmitted (S102, distinction display processing step).

  The digital camera 3 having acquired the lighting instruction information # 47 (S121) turns on the lighting unit (S122), and turns off the light when a predetermined time elapses (S123).

  The charging stand 2 that has transmitted the lighting instruction information # 47 again executes PHs 102 to 104 for the mobile phone 1 and waits for an instruction from the mobile phone 1. When the setting target device is changed in the mobile phone 1 (S112), the mobile phone 1 receives the setting target candidate information # 24b indicating the changed setting target device (here, the portable music player 4) as the charging base 2. (S113).

  Here, a display example on the mobile phone 1 in a state where the portable music player 4 is selected will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the mobile phone 1. As shown in a display screen example 1201 in FIG. 12, the display unit 12 displays a device list in an area 1211 and a selection button 1212 and a determination button 1213 in the lower part. In the device list, a column indicating the selected device to be charged is selected and displayed. Here, a column indicating the portable music player 4 is selected and displayed. This selection display is changed each time the charged device selected by the selection button 1212 is changed.

  When the charging base 2 acquires the setting target candidate information # 24b (S103), the lighting instruction that is an instruction to execute PHs 102 to 104 and display the lighting unit for the portable music player 4 indicated by the setting target candidate information # 24b. Information # 47 is transmitted (S104).

  The portable music player 4 having acquired the lighting instruction information # 47 (S124) turns on the lighting unit (S125), and turns off the light when a predetermined time has passed (S126).

  Here, an example of the portable music player 4 in which the lighting unit is turned on will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the portable music player 4 lights the lighting unit. As shown in FIG. 13, when the lighting instruction information # 47 is acquired, the portable music player 4 lights the lighting unit 501. Thereby, it can be set as a different state from another to-be-charged apparatus, and it can make a user recognize clearly and easily which apparatus is the to-be-charged apparatus selected.

  Then, the processing from step S101 to step S126 is continued until the setting target device is determined in the mobile phone 1. When the setting target device is determined in the mobile phone 1 (S114), the to-be-charged device control unit 22 of the mobile phone 1 creates a rank list based on the charging order of the setting target device received from the user (S115). Then, the process proceeds to step S48. Moreover, the charging stand 2 progresses to step S39.

  The above is the flow of processing when the device to be charged is turned on.

[When lighting the area around the device to be charged]
Next, in the process 201, the flow of a process in the case of lighting the periphery where the device to be charged is placed will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing in the case of lighting the periphery where the device to be charged is placed. Here again, a case will be described in which the digital camera 3 is first selected as the control target candidate and then the portable music player 4 is selected in the mobile phone 1.

  When the mobile phone 1 displays the device list in step S46, the mobile phone 1 receives an instruction of the charging order of the device to be charged based on the device list. Specifically, first, selection of a device to be charged (setting target device) for setting a charging order is received from the displayed device list.

  And if selection of a setting object apparatus is received, setting object candidate information # 24b which shows the said setting object apparatus (here digital camera 3) will be transmitted to the charging stand 2 (S161). This is performed in the PH 104 started in step S43. When the charging stand 2 acquires the setting target candidate information # 24b (S151), the charging unit 2 lights up the lighting unit 36 around the position where the digital camera 3 is placed (S152).

  Next, when the setting target device is changed to the portable music player 4 in the mobile phone 1 (S162), the mobile phone 1 stores the setting target candidate information # 24b indicating the portable music player 4 which is the changed setting target device. It transmits to the charging stand 2 (S163).

  And the charging stand 2 will light the lighting part 36 around the position where the portable music player 4 is mounted, if setting object candidate information # 24b is acquired (S153) (S154). A state in which the lighting unit 36 around the position of the portable music player 4 is lit will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a state where the periphery of the portable music player 4 is lit. As illustrated in FIG. 14, when the charging base 2 acquires the setting target candidate information # 24b indicating the portable music player 4, the charging stand 2 is positioned in the peripheral area 502 of the portable music player 4 on the placement surface of the placement unit 31. The lighting unit 36 is turned on. This makes it possible for the user to clearly and easily recognize that the portable music player 4 is selected as the setting target device.

  Then, steps S151 to S154 and steps S161 to S163 are continued until the setting target device is determined in the mobile phone 1. When the setting target device is determined in the mobile phone 1 (S164), the to-be-charged device control unit 22 of the mobile phone 1 creates a rank list with the charging order of the setting target device received from the user (S165). Then, the process proceeds to step S48. Moreover, the charging stand 2 progresses to step S39.

  The above is the flow of processing in the case of lighting the periphery where the device to be charged is placed.
