Abstract
When a vehicle approaches a parking space, a ground controller excites a power transmission coil using an excitation pattern signal containing identification data, and a vehicle controller acquires the identification data from the excitation pattern signal received by at least one of subcoils. Then, a communication unit transmits the acquired identification data to the ground unit. The ground controller pairs the power transmission coil and the power reception coil with each other when the identification data contained in the excitation pattern signal and the identification data transmitted from the vehicle controller match each other. Also, the pairing is canceled if the identification data received by the subcoil provided on the front side and the identification data received by the subcoil provided on the rear side are different from each other.
