Abstract
An electronic equipment, including: an electronic circuit which includes a control section and performs a predetermined functional operation; a battery which supplies electric power to the electronic circuit; a supply detecting section which detects power supply from outside; and a supply cutoff section which cuts off power supply from the battery to the electronic circuit, wherein when the supply detecting section detects the power supply from outside, the supply detecting section performs a battery connection operation of releasing cutoff of the power supply by the supply cutoff section.
Claims18
An electronic equipment, comprising:
- an electronic circuit which includes a control section and performs a predetermined functional operation;
- a battery which supplies electric power to the electronic circuit;
- a supply detecting section which detects power supply from outside;
- and
- a supply cutoff section which cuts off power supply from the battery to the electronic circuit,
- wherein, when the supply detecting section detects the power supply from outside, the supply detecting section performs a battery connection operation of releasing the cutoff of the power supply from the battery to the electronic circuit by the supply cutoff section and supplying electric power from the battery to the electronic circuit.
A battery connection method of an electronic equipment, the electronic equipment including an electronic circuit which includes a control section and performs a predetermined functional operation, a battery which supplies electric power to the electronic circuit, and a supply cutoff section which cuts off power supply from the battery to the electronic circuit, and the method comprising:
- a supply detecting step of detecting power supply from outside;
- and
- a battery connection step of releasing the cutoff of the power supply from the battery to the electronic circuit by the supply cutoff section and supplying electric power from the battery to the electronic circuit, when the power supply from outside is detected in the supply detecting step.
