Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: an interface; a battery; and a controller. The controller is configured to: determine whether a reduction notification indicating reduction in the electric power is received from an external device when the interface is receiving the electric power of a first power amount from the external device; and request the external device via the interface to supply the electric power of a second power amount that is less than the first power amount and greater than or equal to an amount of the electric power consumed in self-discharge of the battery.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an interface;
- a battery;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether the information processing apparatus receives a reduction notification from an external device via the interface when the interface is receiving the electric power of a first power amount from the external device via the interface, the reduction notification indicating reduction in the electric power from the external device;
- and
- request the external device via the interface to supply the electric power of a second power amount when the controller determines that the information processing apparatus receives the reduction notification, the second amount being less than the first power amount, the second power amount being greater than or equal to an amount of the electric power consumed in self-discharge of the battery.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising an interface and a battery,
- wherein the method comprises:
- determining whether the information processing apparatus receives a reduction notification from an external device via the interface when the interface is receiving the electric power of a first power amount from the external device via the interface, the reduction notification indicating reduction in the electric power from the external device;
- and
- request the external device via the interface to supply the electric power of a second power amount when it is determined that the information processing apparatus receives the reduction notification, the second amount being less than the first power amount, the second power amount being greater than or equal to an amount of the electric power consumed in self-discharge of the battery.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising an interface and a battery,
- wherein when executed by the computer, the program causes the information processing apparatus to:
- determine whether the information processing apparatus receives a reduction notification from an external device via the interface when the interface is receiving the electric power of a first power amount from the external device via the interface, the reduction notification indicating reduction in the electric power from the external device;
- and
- request the external device via the interface to supply the electric power of a second power amount when the information processing apparatus determines that the information processing apparatus receives the reduction notification, the second amount being less than the first power amount, the second power amount being greater than or equal to an amount of the electric power consumed in self-discharge of the battery.
