ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872752 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic apparatus that includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires information on the remaining usable time of the electronic apparatus. The control unit is responsible for setting different modes of operation, including a first mode and a second mode with lower power consumption.

  • The acquisition unit gathers information on the remaining usable time of the electronic apparatus.
  • The control unit can switch between different modes of operation, including a first mode and a second mode with lower power consumption.
  • If the remaining time falls below a threshold and a predetermined condition is met, the control unit prompts the user to switch from the first mode to the second mode.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets that can optimize power consumption based on remaining battery life.
  • Laptops or computers that can switch to a low-power mode when the battery is running low.
  • Smart home devices that can conserve energy when the battery is close to depletion.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient power management by automatically switching to a low-power mode when the remaining battery life is low.
  • User convenience by providing a notification to switch to a low-power mode, ensuring longer usage before the battery runs out.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Extended battery life by conserving power when the remaining time is limited.
  • Improved user experience by providing timely notifications to switch to a low-power mode.
  • Energy efficiency by reducing power consumption in the second mode.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a remaining time representing a remaining usable time of the electronic apparatus; and a control unit configured to perform control to set any of a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode having power consumption of the electronic apparatus that is lower than power consumption of the electronic apparatus in the first mode, wherein the control unit performs processing to provide notification to prompt a user to switch from the first mode to the second mode in a case where the remaining time corresponding to the information acquired by the acquisition unit is less than a threshold and a predetermined condition for switching from the first mode to the second mode is satisfied in the first mode.
