Abstract
In order to provide an electronic device and the like that enable a user to accurately recognize information being output from the electronic device or the like via a light source, an electronic device according to the present disclosure includes: a first light source that outputs first light of a first wavelength; a second light source that outputs second light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength; a multiplexing means for multiplexing the first light and the second light and outputting multiplexed light; and an output means for outputting the multiplexed light.
Claims11
An electronic device comprising:
- a port in/from which a cable can be inserted/removed;
- a first light source configured to output first light of a first wavelength;
- a second light source configured to output second light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength;
- a third light source configured to output third light of a third wavelength different from the first wavelength and the second wavelength;
- a multiplexer configured to multiplex the first light, the second light and the third light, and to output multiplexed light;
- an optical component disposed in a location relevant to the port and configured to output the multiplexed light;
- and
- a monitoring circuit configured to acquire at least one of an insertion/removal state of the cable and an internal temperature of the electronic device as a state of the electronic device, and output instructions to light the first light source, the second light source and the third light source differently for each state.
An optical output method for an electronic device, the
- optical method comprising:
- outputting, by a first light source, first light of a first wavelength;
- outputting, by a second light source, second light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength;
- and
- outputting, by a third light source, third light of a third wavelength different from the first wavelength and the second wavelength;
- multiplexing, by a multiplexer, the first light, the second light and the third light;
- and light;
- outputting, by an optical component disposed in a location relevant to a port being able to be a cable inserted/removed, multiplexed light in which the first light, the second light and the third are multiplexed;
- acquiring, by a monitoring circuit, at least one of an insertion/removal state of the cable and an internal temperature of the electronic device as a state of the electronic device;
- and
- outputting, by the monitoring circuit, instructions to light the first light source, the second light source and the third light source differently for each state.
