    摘要: A wireless power-supply control apparatus to perform control on transmission of power from at least one power transmitter comprising a plurality of first antennas to a plurality of power receivers, has a first communicator and a controller. The first communicator to receive propagation path information between the power transmitter and the plurality of power receivers and requested-power information on requested power of the plurality of power receivers, from the power transmitter or the plurality of power receivers. The controller to control power to be transmitted from the power transmitter to a predetermined value and control at least either one of a phase or an amplitude of power to be supplied to the plurality of first antennas, based on the propagation path information and the requested-power information, so that a specific number of power receivers receiving power larger than the requested power is equal to or larger than a predetermined number.
