Electronic apparatus and control method

A system including a power receiving apparatus and an electronic apparatus,

• wherein
• the power receiving apparatus includes
• a mounting unit to which one of a battery and an electronic apparatus that supplies power to the power receiving apparatus is attached,
• a first processor that changes an operation setting of the power receiving apparatus, and
• wherein the first processor unit performs control to transmit, to the electronic apparatus, information regarding power consumption of the power receiving apparatus based on an operation setting set by the setting unit, in a case where the electronic apparatus is attached to the mounting unit,
• the electronic apparatus includes
• a first connector,
• a second connector, and
• a processor that causes the electronic apparatus to function as:
• a power receiving unit that receives power from a power supply apparatus connected to the first connector;
• a voltage conversion unit that converts a voltage supplied from the power supply apparatus via the first connector;
• and
• a control unit that performs control to switch, in accordance with information regarding power consumption of a power receiving apparatus which is acquired from the power receiving apparatus connected to the second connector, between a first state where a voltage supplied from the power supply apparatus is output to the power receiving apparatus via the second connector without conversion by the voltage conversion unit, and a second state where a voltage converted by the voltage conversion unit is output to the power receiving apparatus via the second connector, and
• in a case where power consumption based on information regarding power consumption of the power receiving apparatus is not less than a threshold, the control unit performs control to cause the power supply apparatus to supply a first voltage, and switch to the second state, and in a case where the power consumption is less than the threshold, the control unit performs control to cause the power supply apparatus to supply a second voltage lower than the first voltage, and switch to the first state.

A method of controlling an electronic apparatus:

• wherein the electronic apparatus comprises:
• a first connector;
• a second connector;
• and
• a processor that causes the electronic apparatus to function as:
• a power receiving unit that receives power from a power supply apparatus connected to the first connector;
• and
• a voltage conversion unit that converts a voltage supplied from the power supply apparatus via the first connector,
• wherein the method comprises:
• controlling to switch, in accordance with information regarding power consumption of a power receiving apparatus which is acquired from the power receiving apparatus connected to the second connector, between a first state where a voltage supplied from the power supply apparatus is output to the power receiving apparatus via the second connector without conversion by the voltage conversion unit, and a second state where a voltage converted by the voltage conversion unit is output to the power receiving apparatus via the second connector,
• wherein the controlling to switch includes control for causing the power supply apparatus to supply a first voltage and switching to the second state in a case where power consumption based on information regarding power consumption of the power receiving apparatus is not less than a threshold, and control for causing the power supply apparatus to supply a second voltage lower than the first voltage and switching to the first state in a case where the power consumption is less than the threshold.
