摘要:
The power supply controller serves to distribute electric power to each part of the electronic apparatus for operation, and the electric power can be fed from the AC power source, the fuel cell unit and the secondary battery unit. The power supply controller transmits the data signal indicating from which of the AC power source, the fuel cell unit and the secondary battery unit, the electricity is fed, to the CPU via the built-in register. The CPU displays the use status of the AC power source, the fuel cell unit and the secondary battery unit on the LCD via the display controller.
摘要:
An electronic apparatus according to the invention can be powered by a fuel cell unit and secondary battery unit. Power supply management utility executed by a CPU displays the states of use of the fuel cell unit and secondary battery unit. If a predetermined operation is performed in response to the displayed states, using a pointing device, the power supply management utility permits various types of setting related to the use of the fuel cell unit and secondary battery unit to be performed.

In a fuel cell unit, a control method therefor, and an information processing apparatus, a determination is made as to whether or not elapsed time from the last power generation until the present power generation has reached a predetermined time. When it is determined that the elapsed time has reached the predetermined time, setup processing for hydrating a solid polymer electrolyte membrane of a fuel cell is performed.

An electronic system includes an electronic device having a connector to connect an external device and a cell unit having a fuel cell capable of generating power by a chemical reaction. The cell unit is connectable to the electronic device via the connector, configured to receive power for driving an auxiliary of the fuel cell in activating the cell unit from the electronic device via a first pin of the connector, and configured to supply power generated by the fuel cell to the electronic device via a second pin of the connector.
摘要:
A computer system is provided has a computer main body and an expansion unit to be attached to and detached from the computer main body. Power is input to the computer system in accordance with a plurality of factors. A power supply controller determines which factor has caused power-ON for the computer system, and writes the result of this determination into a power-ON factor register. BIOS reads the content stored in the power-ON factor register and executes processing in accordance with power-ON factors. Before the computer system is switched on, the power supply controller determines the connection, type and state of the expansion unit and writes the result of this into the state register. BIOS executes error processing, etc., in accordance with the content of the state register.
