Abstract
A power supply assistance apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire an output of a magnetic field detector configured to detect a magnetic field around a power supply device installed in a ground. The processor is configured to instruct a vehicle to change a frequency of an alternating-current magnetic field emitted from the vehicle to the power supply device as a position signal based on the output of the magnetic field detector.
