摘要:
An electronic device can operate as an external device of an information processing apparatus. The electronic device includes a connecting unit for connecting to the information processing apparatus, a command processor for processing a command sent from the information processing apparatus through the connecting unit, a rechargeable battery, a charging controller for controlling a charging operation of the rechargeable battery, and an operating mode managing unit which, when the connecting unit is connected to an interface having a power-supply function, selects one of a normal operating mode in which the electronic device operates as the external device of the information processing apparatus, and a charging mode in which the electronic device stops operating as the external device of the information processing apparatus and charges the rechargeable battery. The command processor processes the command in accordance with the selected operating mode.

摘要:
A power controller includes a power detector detecting supply of first power given a predetermined power level and second power given a power level lower than the first power, a supply power switch supplying a storage with the first power when the power detector detects supply of the first power and supplying the storage with the second power switching from the first power to the second power when the power detector detects supply of the second power only, and a data transfer rate controller setting a data transfer rate between a predetermined data transfer source/destination and the storage to a second data transfer rate lower than a first data transfer rate coupled with the supply of the first power when supply of the second power only is detected, to reduce power consumption of the storage in comparison to power consumed by a data transfer at the first data transfer rate.
摘要:
The invention provides an apparatus and method which allows playback of both of a first optical disc wherein the opposite side faces of a groove formed thereon are wobbled at a first predetermined frequency and a second optical disc wherein one of the opposite side faces of a groove formed thereon is wobbled at a second frequency shorter than the first predetermined frequency while the other face of the groove is formed as a flat face. In the apparatus and method, it is discriminated whether an object optical disc of playback is the first optical disc or the second optical disc, and various servo systems are switched based on a result of the discrimination.
