Abstract

To provide a power feeding system and the like with which charging can be performed without a decrease in the power supply efficiency. To provide a power feeding system and the like with which can offer a power feeding service which is efficient to both a power feeding user and a power feeding provider. The power transmission state in each of power transmitting portions is monitored, the power transmitting portion having the highest power transmission efficiency is selected based on positional advantage, and the power transmitting resonance coil included in the selected power transmitting portion is kept at a first resonance frequency, whereby power transmission continues. The resonance frequency of the power transmitting resonance coil included in the non-selected power transmitting portion (the number of the non-selected power transmitting portions may be plural) is set to a second resonance frequency, whereby power transmission is stopped.
