Abstract
A computer system including at least one device; a battery unit which possesses a predetermined battery capacity and supplies power to the device; a monitoring unit which monitors a battery remaining capacity of the battery unit; an alarm informing unit which generates an alarm related to the battery unit; and a controller which sets up an alarm level corresponding to the battery capacity of the battery unit, and controls the alarm informing unit to generate the alarm to inform that the battery unit is short of the battery remaining capacity if the battery remaining capacity of the battery unit monitored by the monitoring unit is smaller than the alarm level.
Claims24
A computer system, comprising:
- at least one device;
- a battery unit having a predetermined battery capacity to supply power to the device;
- a monitoring unit to monitor remaining power of the battery unit;
- an alarm informing unit to generate an alarm related to the battery unit;
- and
- a controller to set up an alarm level based on the battery capacity of the battery unit and to control the alarm informing unit to generate the alarm to inform a user that the remaining power of the battery unit is low if the remaining power of the battery unit monitored by the monitoring unit is lower than the alarm level.
A control method of a computer system comprising at least one device and a battery unit having a predetermined battery capacity and supplying power to the device, the method comprising:
- setting up an alarm level based on the battery capacity of the battery unit;
- monitoring a remaining power of the battery unit;
- and
- generating an alarm to inform a user that the battery unit is low on power if the monitored remaining power of the battery unit is lower than the alarm level.
A computer system comprising:
- a battery monitoring unit to monitor the remaining power of a battery coupled to the computer system and to compare the remaining power with an alarm level varying based upon a ratio of a predetermined remaining power level to the capacity of the battery;
- and
- an alarm generation unit to generate an alarm if the result of the battery monitoring unit's comparison indicates that the percentage of remaining power is lower than the alarm level.
A mobile device comprising:
- a monitor to monitor a remaining power of a battery;
- and
- an alarm generator to generate an alarm if a ratio of remaining power to the capacity of the battery, which varies based on the capacity, is lower than an alarm level.
