In above-mentioned example, be the pre-final voltage of every kind of battery of residue setting service time of reference battery.In addition, the ratio that accounts for battery gross energy number with reference to employed energy number also can be set pre-final voltage.For example, the pre-final voltage of every kind of battery can be set employed energy and account for 65% of gross energy, when reaching pre-final voltage, and the warning signal.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart of expression digital camera 2 uses, therein, shows dump energy warning message signal and after this cuts off power supply.
At first, closed mains switch 28 (in step 50).
Data read/writing device 20 detects the wireless identification tag 32 and the information that reads about battery 16 of each battery 16.Data read/writing device 20 is to the read information of CPU22 transmission about battery 16.CPU22 receives the information (step 52) about battery 16.
From the information that receives battery, CPU22 determines battery of having set and the kind (step 54) of discerning this battery.
Therefore, if determine that battery is an alkaline battery, cell voltage detection device 18 detects the magnitude of voltage (step 56) of each battery 16.Send the magnitude of voltage that detects to CPU.CPU22 determines whether the magnitude of voltage that detects equates (step 58) with the pre-final voltage value of alkaline battery.If do not reach pre-final voltage, process turns back to step 56.If reached pre-final voltage, CPU22 produces warning message signal, display unit 26 warning signals (step 60).
Fig. 2 represents the example by display unit 26 warning signals.When common use, promptly be lower than the situation of pre-final voltage at the magnitude of voltage of battery, battery does not have signal to show (＜1 〉).When the magnitude of voltage of battery equated with pre-final voltage, energy content of battery mark comprised a luminescent marking that shows dump energy (＜2 〉).
Cell voltage detection device 18 further detects the magnitude of voltage (step 62) of battery 16.The magnitude of voltage that detects sends CPU22.CPU22 detects magnitude of voltage and whether equates (step 64) with the final voltage of alkaline battery.If do not reach final voltage, process turns back to step 62.If reached final voltage, CPU22 changes the warning message signal that shows on display unit 26, and detects rear indicator 26 shows signal (among Fig. 2＜3 〉) (step 65) at final voltage.This signal is the flicker of battery mark.
After this, cut off the power supply (step 66) of the process of carrying out, cut off power supply (step 80).
If the measurement result of battery variety is a Ni-MH battery in step 54, cell voltage detection device 18 detects the magnitude of voltage (step 68) of each battery 16.The magnitude of voltage that detects sends to CPU22.CPU22 determines whether the magnitude of voltage that detects equates (step 70) with the pre-final voltage value of Ni-MH battery.If do not reach pre-final voltage, process turns back to step 68.If reached pre-final voltage value, CPU22 produces warning message and at display unit 26 warning signals (step 72).Under the situation of Ni-MH battery, also use warning message signal example in the figure expression.In common use, promptly be lower than the situation of pre-final voltage at the magnitude of voltage of battery, battery does not have signal to show (＜1 〉).When the magnitude of voltage of battery equated with pre-final voltage, energy content of battery mark comprised a luminescent marking that shows dump energy (＜2 〉).
Cell voltage detection device 18 further detects the magnitude of voltage (step 74) of battery 16.The magnitude of voltage that detects sends to CPU22.CPU22 determines whether the magnitude of voltage that detects equates (step 76) with the pre-final voltage value of Ni-MH battery.If do not reach pre-final voltage, process turns back to step 74.If reached pre-final voltage value, CPU22 changes the warning message signal that shows on display unit 26, and detects rear indicator 26 shows signal (among Fig. 2＜3 〉) (step 77) at final voltage.This signal is the flicker of battery mark.
After this, cut off the power supply (step 78) of the process of carrying out, cut off power supply (step 80).
In this scheme, display unit 26 is liquid crystal displays that can multicolor displaying and shows battery warning message signal on LCDs.But display system is not limited to that this is a kind of.Battery warning message signal can show on the LCDs of the indicating characteristic of the liquid crystal display of the display image that separate to be provided with.
In this scheme, show energy contents of battery residue warning message signals by two steps: the step after detecting pre-final voltage and detecting final voltage after step.Yet display system is not limited to that this is a kind of.After display unit also can be formed in the battery variety identification of digital camera 2, the dump energy of meticulousr expression battery.But this arrangement of this scheme guarantees the user and can correctly discern the scope of application of battery, no matter the kind of battery how.Therefore, though the user use certain battery and situation about replacing with different types of battery afterwards under, the user can indicate so reliably and select to change the time of battery and can prepare new battery at reasonable time.
In the above-mentioned example of arranging, the kinds of information of battery is stored in the wireless identification tag, and digital camera detects wireless identification tag and reads the information of battery variety, with the kind of the battery of discerning present use.Be not the information of battery variety information, for example the information of battery manufacturers name also can be stored in the wireless identification tag, according to the variation a little of battery capacity in manufacturer and battery variety, can produce battery remaining power warning message signal.
Though this scheme supposes that by being applied to digital camera purpose of the present invention is described,, the present invention can be applicable to not be the portable electronics of digital camera certainly.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, digital camera is described according to the present invention as the 2nd preferred version of the present invention of portable electronics.Represent with same label that with parts identical in first scheme their explanation no longer repeats.
Fig. 7 is the block diagram of the digital camera 120 of expression alternative plan of the present invention.
CPU22 executive program and the various data that need control of control etc. are stored in bus 34 and ROM7 that CPU22 is connected.
When the image of taking is exported by the display unit 26 that is monitored, read out view data from storage device 8, and be transported to display control unit 24 through bus 34.Display control unit 24 converts the picture signal of input the signal (for example NTSC color composite audio signal) of predetermined display format to and to display unit 26 output signals.When the display unit 26 of the image monitoring of taking was exported, backlight 40 was luminous by the image output that connects.In the shooting process of picture, backlight 40 is luminous.In the process of reproducing, backlight 40 is also luminous.But, at some time durations, though reproduce, if there is not the key executable operations, for energy-conservation stop luminous.
When operating power switch 28 and action button 30 when CPU22 carries signal, CPU22 sends the control signal of control power supply to power supply apparatus for controlling of supply 12.Power supply apparatus for controlling of supply 12 control power supply circuits 10, so power supply circuits 10 are supplied with each parts with the electricity of requirement.
Can use DC power supply.But, use battery usually.
If battery 16 is secondary cells, they can charge by actuating battery charging device 38 according to the instruction of CPU22.In this case, the power supply that adds from the DC power supply that is connected with digital camera 120.
Below the process that digital camera 120 cuts down the consumption of energy will be described.
With reference to figure 1, at first, be that AA alkaline battery and secondary cell are that Ni-MH battery is that example describes with primary cell.
In traditional digital camera, the pre-final voltage of AA alkaline battery (voltage that shows in display unit 26 during information that promptly battery remaining power of She Dinging is few) is set at 2.2V and final voltage (voltage that shows on display unit 26 when the energy content of battery of setting loses information) is set 2.0V.If this setting is under the situation of using AA battery alkaline battery, when employed energy becomes 65%, the warning signal.If this setting is to use under the situation of AA Ni-MH battery, when the energy that uses becomes 96%, the warning signal.In each battery, when cell voltage becomes when equating with final voltage, employed energy values is 100%.
From the discharge characteristic of two kinds of batteries as can be known, if digital camera 120 is carried out identical energy control, the life-span of Ni-MH battery is than the length of alkaline battery.As everyone knows, the internal resistance of alkaline battery is higher than the internal resistance of Ni-MH battery.When using alkaline battery, energy consumption can be dropped to the limit of voltage drop and be improved battery life.In chilling process, use discharge to reduce.
In alternative plan, data read/writing device 20 detects the wireless identification tag 32 that is fixed on the battery 16 and reads battery information, realizes cutting down the consumption of energy according to battery variety.
Be described in operating process under the situation of cutting down the consumption of energy with reference to figure 8.Fig. 8 is that expression is read battery variety and according to the cut down the consumption of energy flow process of process of battery variety.
At first, mains switch 28 closures (step 150).Read/writing device 20 detects the wireless identification tag 32 of each battery and reads the information (step 152) that is stored in the wireless identification tag 32.
Discern the kind (step 154) of battery from the battery information that reads.The information of the battery that promptly reads sends to CPU22, and the kind of CPU22 identification battery is determined the battery that present employed any one battery is alkaline battery, Ni-MH battery or some other kind.
If the battery of determining is the high the sort of battery of internal resistance (for example alkaline battery), the flicker electric current of the backlight 40 of display unit 26 (LCD monitor) reduces so, faint light, the pulse frequency of CPU22 reduces, reduce processing speed, stroboscope 37 charging currents reduce, and reduce the charging interval (step 156).These operations are automatically carried out.As a result, reduce energy consumption, reduced the speed that cell voltage reduces.Reduce and to set before operation is applicable to this battery carrying out energy.
About the battery of high internal resistance is arranged, setting can be carried out like this, when being reduced to room temperature, except that the aforesaid operations in step 156, carrying out other energy consumption and reduces operation, automatically cuts off display unit 26, prolongs digital camera 120 spendable time durations.
The energy that the user can select digital camera not carry out in step 156 reduces the pattern of operating.The user carries out this selection supply with the setting of control ON/OFF from energy before.In this case, add digital camera 120 to detecting whether to set from the open/close execution function of energy supply control.Promptly set from energy according to user's selection and supplied with the control ON/OFF, (the * A among Fig. 8) carries out supplying with the open/close operation that detects of control from energy immediately before step 156.Find that process is directly to step 156 at the state of opening if supply with control from energy.If find that from energy control process is directly to step 158 at the state that closes, replace step 156.The reason that can select like this is that the user wishes normally to carry out the function of relevant step 156 with during handling above cutting down the consumption of energy.
After this, determine whether cell voltage reaches final voltage (step 158).If cell voltage reaches final voltage, cut off power supply (step 162) so.If cell voltage does not reach final voltage, determine then whether mains switch cuts off.If mains switch does not cut off, process turns back to step 158.If mains switch cuts off, process is carried out step 162 and is closed supply power.
In alternative plan, according to the kind of battery, the control of the energy of digital camera can automatically be carried out, and therefore, when the kind of battery changes, does not have big variation at the time durations of digital camera between the operating period.Therefore, the user can use digital camera, does not consider the kind of battery.
In the description of alternative plan, the energy control method of setting in method for monitoring such as the step 156.But, can select to use a kind of in above-mentioned three kinds of methods or two kinds.
In alternative plan, carry out energy control according to battery variety.But, also can carry out energy control according to battery manufacturers.In this case, the name of battery manufacturers comprises the information that is stored in the wireless identification tag 32 and the kind of battery, and battery power consumption control can be according to the kind of manufacturer and battery, and the capacity that changes battery a little carries out.
Set before step 156 and can carry out according to manufacturer yet, therefore this setting does not automatically change step 156.
Though being applied to digital camera by hypothesis the present invention, this scheme is illustrated,, the present invention certainly is applied to not be the portable electronics of digital camera.
The 3rd preferred scheme as the digital camera of portable electronics of the present invention is described with reference to the drawings.The parts identical with alternative plan represent that with identical label their description will no longer repeat.
This camera 120 is the digital cameras with record and representational role.Central processing unit (CPU22) is carried out the master control of the operation of whole camera 120.CPU22 is as control device, according to preset program control camera system, information signal generation device by way of caution, if battery is a secondary cell, it calculates the charging times (charging cycle number) of the battery 16 in digital camera 120, and shows about the warning message signal of battery with as energy reduction indicating device according to the charging cycle digital display, if battery is a secondary cell, it counts the instruction that issuing command cuts down the consumption of energy according to charging cycle.
By the CPU22 executive program, the various data that need control etc. are stored in the ROM7 that is connected with CPU22 through bus 34.
The information that embedding the wireless identification tag 32 on each battery 16 provides comprises battery variety information, whether be primary cell or secondary cell promptly about battery, if battery is a primary cell, whether about battery is manganese cell, alkaline battery or lithium battery, if battery is a secondary cell, whether about battery is ni-cd battery or Ni-MH battery, shows the numbering of the battery of the unique appointment of the name of battery manufacturers and manufacturer.
When battery 16 was housed in the battery case of camera 120, data read/writing device 20 was arranged on such position of the wireless identification tag 32 that can find to be embedded on the battery 16.Data read/writing device 20 detects wireless identification tag 32, reads information about battery according to the instruction of CPU22, and the information that reads is sent to CPU22.CPU22 is from the numbering of the battery of the name of the kind of the information Recognition battery of the battery that reads, manufacturer, the unique appointment of manufacturer etc.Data read/writing device 20 is write the number of times that the 16 each batteries 16 that charge of the battery in the digital camera 120 have charged on the wireless identification tag 32.
If battery 16 is secondary cells, according to the instruction of CPU22,38 pairs of batteries of actuating battery charging device charge.In this case, the additional energy of direct-current power supply from being connected with digital camera 120.After finishing by battery charger 38 charging, show that the information that charging is finished sends to CPU22, CPU22 calculates one and abandons the electricity circulation, and sends and count storage device 8.At storage device 8, the sum of storage charging cycle.
Below, count the procedure for displaying of warning message signal and energy consumption with describing according to the charging cycle in the digital camera 120.
In this scheme, data read/writing device 20 detects the wireless identification tag 32 that is fixed on the battery 16, and reads battery information, thus according to the kind and the charging cycle number of battery, realizes the demonstration of warning message signal and cuts down the consumption of energy.

At first, disconnecting power switch 28 (step 250).Data read/writing device 20 detects the wireless identification tag 32 of each battery 16, and reads the battery information (step 252) that is stored in the wireless identification tag 32.Discern the kind (step 254) of battery from the battery information that reads.The battery information that promptly reads sends to CPU22, and the kind of CPU22 identification battery is determined each battery of use at present, for example is the battery of alkaline battery, Ni-MH battery or some other kind.
Therefore, determine automatically also whether battery is primary cell or secondary cell.
If the battery of determining is a primary cell, process carry out step 262 so, determines whether mains switch closes.If battery is a secondary cell,, check the charging cycle number that is stored in 8 tins of batteries of storage device by the producer's that provides battery numbering.Under the situation of wireless identification tag 32, replace the information that obtains by above-mentioned steps in the information stores of the charging cycle number of battery, check the charging cycle number by only reading in battery information in the wireless identification tag 32.
If the charging cycle number of determining in step 254 is not more than the performance boundary of battery, whether the charging cycle number of determining battery then is near the limit (step 256) of battery.If the battery charge period is kept off the limit, set energy control (step 260) according to the charging cycle number of battery so.If promptly the charging cycle number of battery is not too big, operation＜1〉reduce the electric current of stroboscope 37, so that increase the time of charging.If the charging cycle number of battery is a mediant, operation＜2〉reduce the pulse frequency of CPU operate＜1 so that reduce to carry out to remove〉processing speed.If the charging cycle number is big number, operation＜3〉reduce the electric current of the backlight 40 of display unit 26 (LCD monitor), remove operation＜1〉and＜2, execution light duskiness.These operations are automatically to carry out.As a result, energy consumption reduces, and the speed that voltage reduces reduces.According to before every kind of battery, can carry out the setting that energy reduces operation.
About having the battery of high internal resistance, when room temperature reduces, except that the above-mentioned operation in step 260, carry out other energy consumption and reduce operation, automatically disconnect display unit 26, so that prolong during the service time of digital camera 120.
The user can find that the energy that digital camera 120 is not carried out in step 260 reduces the pattern of operating.Supply with the setting of control ON/OFF from energy before, the user can utilize this selection.In this case, will set to carry out to detect whether open/close function is added digital camera 120 to about supplying with control from energy.Set if promptly supply with the control ON/OFF from energy, before step 260, carry out immediately supplying with the operation that the control ON/OFF detects from energy according to user's selection.If what detect supplies with the state that control is in out from energy, process directly carry out step 260 so.If what detect supplies with the state that control is in the pass from energy, process directly carry out step 262 so, replaces carry out step 260.The reason user that can carry out this selection wishes the function of normally carrying out relevant step 260 during cutting down the consumption of energy surpassing.
After step 260, determine whether mains switch has closed (step 262).If mains switch is not closed, process turns back to 262.If mains switch is closed, process carries out 264 so, then deenergization.
If if determine that in step 254 the charging cycle number surpasses battery has performance boundary or determine battery charge circulation and is presented at display unit 26 (comprising LCD) (step 258) near the performance boundary charging cycle warning message signal of battery in step 356.For example, as this warning message signal, for example Figure 10 A show in joyous electric period near the signal under the situation of battery performance limits.Surpass under the situation of battery performance limits at the charging cycle number, for example the signal that shows among Figure 10 B.
After step 258, process proceeds to above-mentioned steps 260.In this case, the charging cycle number is near battery performance limits or surpass battery performance limits, simultaneously executable operations＜1 〉,＜2 and＜3.Under the situation of using lithium ion battery,, can utilize the time to reduce with the minimizing of battery capacity because lithium ion battery has the increase with the charging cycle number.
In third party's case, the warning message signal automatically is presented on the digital camera, and kind and charging cycle number according to battery can make the user grasp the operating limit of battery, and prepare new battery, and battery can critical fault not occur by wrong degraded so that camera.Up to surpassing under the situation of battery operating limit, set low energy consumption at the digital camera that uses for, increase the operating time of battery, even after the user forgot to change battery, battery can also use.
In the description of third party's case, three kinds of method for monitoring as the power supply control setting in step 260.But above-mentioned three kinds of methods can be used the combination of two kinds of methods.
Selection according to the user also can be set, and sets for about step 260 not change the such mode of step 260 automatically.
If the information stores of charging cycle number at wireless identification tag 32, is not to determine the charging cycle number with digital camera 120 with charger, warning message signal and energy consumption reduction is accurately set and can be carried out.
Though the sad hypothesis the present invention of this scheme uses average and digital camera is illustrated, the present invention can be used for not being the portable electronics of digital camera certainly.
