Electronic apparatus and control method for the same

A control method of an electronic apparatus which has a chargeable battery,

• a power receiving unit capable of receiving power from an external apparatus with non-contact,
• a charging control unit configured to charge the battery with power received from the external apparatus, and
• a switching unit configured to switch to a state of supplying power to at least one of a power supply unit of an apparatus and the battery based on a predetermined voltage obtained using the power received from the external apparatus, the method comprising:
• controlling power supply to the power supply unit of the apparatus and charging of the battery using the power received from the external apparatus,
• wherein in the controlling, if a power amount that can be received from the external apparatus is sufficient to operate the apparatus but not sufficient to charge the battery, the control unit controls the predetermined voltage so as to reduce power consumption during operation of the apparatus, and if the received power is greater than the power consumption when operating the apparatus, the control unit charges the battery using the power received from the external apparatus.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method of an electronic apparatus which has a chargeable battery,

• a power receiving unit capable of receiving power from an external apparatus with non-contact,
• a charging control unit configured to charge the battery with power received from the external apparatus, and
• a switching unit configured to switch to a state of supplying power to at least one of a power supply unit of an apparatus and the battery based on a predetermined voltage obtained using the power received from the external apparatus, the method comprising:
• controlling power supply to the power supply unit of the apparatus and charging of the battery using the power received from the external apparatus,
