Patent attributes
A foreign matter sensing device includes a first determiner that determines whether there is a foreign matter in a foreign matter detection range based on an image imaged by an imaging portion, and a second determiner that determines whether there is a foreign matter in the foreign matter detection range based on a temperature sensed by a temperature sensor. The second determiner executes determining whether there is a foreign matter in the foreign matter detection range while electric-power is transferred between a vehicle-side coil and an out-of-vehicle coil, when the first determiner determines that there is no foreign matter after the imaging portion images the image of the foreign matter detection range in response to a start demand instructing to start transferring electric-power.
