1. A power transmitting device comprising:
a power transmitting coil for providing output power to a power receiving coil;
a thermal sensor that detects a temperature around the power transmitting coil; and
a power transmission control circuit that controls the power transmitting device,
wherein the power transmission control circuit performs operations including
causing the power transmitting coil to provide first output power,
causing the power transmitting coil to provide second output power to the power receiving coil for charging a battery connected to the power receiving coil,
causing the thermal sensor to detect the temperature around the power transmitting coil, and
causing, if the detected temperature is equal to or higher than a threshold because of existing a metal foreign object, the power transmitting coil to reduce a level of the output power or stop the output power, and
wherein the level of the first output power is lower than the level of the second output power.
