a controlling, when the determining determines the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device to stop power supply to the first power reception device and to start power supply to the second power reception device; and
wherein, when the determining determines that the power supply destination is not to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device transmits to the second power reception device a refusal notification indicating that the power transmission device will not be supplying power to the second power reception device.
2. The power transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the battery residual capacity of the second power reception device is less than a threshold value, the determining determines that the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device.
3. A power supply method executed by a power transmission device that wirelessly supplies power to a power reception device, the power transmission device, the method comprising:
when the power transmission device has been supplying power to a first power reception device and receives a predetermined request from a second power reception device, determining whether a power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, based on a battery residual capacity of the second power reception device;
performing power supply control, when the determining determines the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, to control the power transmission device to stop power supply to the first power reception device and to start power supply to the second power reception device; and
determining, when the power supply destination is not to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device transmits to the second power reception device a refusal notification indicating that the power transmission device will not be supplying power to the second power reception device.
4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer executable instructions causing a computer to execute a method for controlling a power transmission device that wirelessly supplies power to a power reception device, the method comprising:
when the power transmission device has been supplying power to a first power reception device and receives a predetermined request from a second power reception device, determining whether a power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, based on a battery residual capacity of the second power reception device;
performing power supply control, when the determining determines the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, to control the power transmission device to stop power supply to the first power reception device and to start power; and
determining, when the power supply destination is not to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device transmits to the second power reception device a refusal notification indicating that the power transmission device will not be supplying power to the second power reception device.
5. A power transmission device that wirelessly supplies power to a power reception device, the power transmission device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the power transmission device to perform operations comprising:
a determining, when the power transmission device has been supplying power to a first power reception device and receives a predetermined request from a second power reception device, whether a power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, based on a battery residual capacity of the first power reception device and a battery residual capacity of the second power reception device;
a controlling, when the determining determines that the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device to stop power supply to the first power reception device and to start power supply to the second power reception device; and
wherein, when the determining determines that the power supply destination is not to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device transmits to the second power reception device a refusal notification indicating that the power transmission device will not be supplying power to the second power reception device.
6. The power transmission device according to claim 5 , wherein, when the battery residual capacity of the first power reception device is equal to or more than a threshold value, and the battery residual capacity of the second power reception device is less than the threshold value, the determining determines that the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device.
7. A power supply method executed by a power transmission device that wirelessly supplies power to a power reception device, the method comprising:
when the power transmission device has been supplying power to a first power reception device and receives a predetermined request from a second power reception device, determining whether a power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, based on a battery residual capacity of the first power reception device and a battery residual capacity of the second power reception device; and
performing control, when it is determined that the power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, to control the power transmission device to stop power supply to the first power reception device and to start power supply to the second power reception device; and
determining, when the power supply destination is not to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, the power transmission device transmits to the second power reception device a refusal notification indicating that the power transmission device will not be supplying power to the second power reception device.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer executable instructions causing a computer to execute a method for controlling a power transmission device that wirelessly supplies power to a power reception device, the method comprising:
when the power transmission device has been supplying power to a first power reception device and receives a predetermined request from a second power reception device, determining whether a power supply destination is to be changed from the first power reception device to the second power reception device, based on a battery residual capacity of the first power reception device and a battery residual capacity of the second power reception device;
