Abstract
A foreign object detecting device includes: an input unit to which a detection signal is inputted from a sheet-type pressure sensor; a sensor information processing unit configured to, based on the detection signal, generate sensor information indicating an area in a detection area of the pressure sensor to which a pressure is being applied; and a judgement unit configured to compare the sensor information and basic layout information indicating a predetermined area in the detection area to which a pressure is applied, to thereby judge whether a foreign object is present in the detection area.
