AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing devices powered by internal power sources, such as batteries, do not consider efficient power management when connected to external power sources, leading to increased power consumption and reduced operational time.

Method used

A device with multiple control units that selectively powers down non-essential units when using internal power, switches to external power for extended operation, and manages power consumption based on power source availability.

Benefits of technology

Reduces power consumption and extends operational time by selectively powering control units, allowing continuous operation with internal power and enhanced functionality with external power.

Abstract

To perform control for differently using and driving a plurality of power sources in an apparatus outputting a plurality of pieces of information.SOLUTION: A device driven by power supplied from an external power source or an internal power source includes: a first control section for performing at least processing for outputting a current time; and a second control section that performs at least processing for outputting information other than the current time. The device does not supply the power to the second control section while the device does not require the processing for outputting the information other than the current time by the second control section when driving by the power supplied from the internal power source.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
