ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625524 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus with a connection unit and a conversion unit that converts input voltage into an output voltage that is 1/N times the input voltage. A control unit requests a power supplying apparatus for a third voltage that is N times a first voltage. If an external apparatus is connected to the connection unit after the request for the third voltage, the control unit requests the power supplying apparatus to supply a fourth voltage that is N times a second voltage in response to receiving an instruction from the external apparatus to set the second voltage as the output voltage from the electronic apparatus to the external apparatus. The second voltage is higher than the first voltage.
- The electronic apparatus has a conversion unit that can adjust the output voltage based on external instructions.
- The apparatus can provide different voltage levels to external devices based on their requirements.
- The control unit facilitates communication between the electronic apparatus and external devices for efficient power supply.
- The apparatus ensures that the output voltage is higher when connected to external devices, meeting their specific voltage needs.
- This innovation allows for flexible power supply capabilities in electronic devices.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require adjustable voltage outputs. - It can be beneficial in industries where different devices with varying voltage requirements need to be connected.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for adjustable voltage outputs in electronic devices. - Facilitates efficient power supply to external devices with specific voltage requirements.

Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus comprises a connection unit and a conversion unit configured to convert an input voltage into an output voltage that is 1/N times the input voltage. A control unit requests a power supplying apparatus for a third voltage that is N times a first voltage. In a case where an external apparatus is connected to the connection unit after the request for the third voltage, the control unit requests the power supplying apparatus to supply a fourth voltage that is N times a second voltage in response to receiving, from the external apparatus, an instruction for setting the second voltage as a voltage to be output from the electronic apparatus to the external apparatus. The second voltage is higher than the first voltage.
