The identification attribute table TB1 includes, as identification attributes for identifying the received power supply pattern, a difference in wave size, a difference in wave frequency, a difference in wave shape, a difference in wave timing,. Of these, information indicating what attribute is used to identify the power supply pattern is stored, and has “identification attribute” and “flag”. “Identification attribute” is information indicating which attribute is used to identify the power supply pattern. “Wave size”, “Wave frequency”, “Wave shape”, “Wave timing” , ... are stored.

  In the example shown in the figure, “identity attribute” is stored separately for each of “wave size”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”, “wave timing”,. However, a combination of two or more of them may be stored as one “identification attribute”. The “identification attribute” is not limited to “wave size”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”, “wave timing”,. For example, when power is intermittently supplied, a combination of a time during which the power is supplied (supply time) and a time when the power is not supplied (intermittent time) may be used as the “identification attribute”. .

  “Flag” is information indicating which attribute is used to identify the power supply pattern. When “Flag” is “1”, it indicates an attribute (valid) used for identification. When “Flag” is “0” , An attribute not used for identification (invalid) is shown. In this case, by operating the above-described identification attribute setting switch AT, an arbitrary “identification attribute” is designated and its “flag” is set to “1”. This is a switch that arbitrarily designates and sets an attribute for identifying a pattern. The main control unit 11 analyzes the received power supply pattern (reception pattern) based on the “identification attribute” whose “flag” is “1”, and the analyzed reception pattern and a registered pattern registered in advance.

The plurality of types of power supply patterns are patterns in which at least some of the wave size, wave frequency, wave shape, wave timing,..., Or combinations thereof are different. “Operation content” includes an operation content for switching a main part or a part of the electronic device 1 to an on state or an off state, and an operation content for setting a specific operation mode or canceling the setting of the operation mode. The main control unit 11 controls the operation of the electronic device 1 so that the “operation content” corresponding to the received power supply pattern is obtained. As described above, the “operation content” is not limited to switching a main part or a part to an on state or an off state, or setting / releasing to a specific operation mode. You may make it control the intensity | strength, speed, etc. of the vibration of vibrator 19A according to the magnitude | size of a wave, and the frequency of a wave.

  When receiving the power supply pattern from the power supply apparatus 2, the main control unit 11 in the electronic device 1 receives the received power supply pattern (reception pattern) and “power supply pattern (registration) in the power supply pattern table TB2. Pattern) ”to identify which“ power supply pattern ”the reception pattern corresponds to, read“ operation content ”associated with this“ power supply pattern ”, and the operation content The operation of the electronic device 1 is controlled so that Here, in the example shown in the figure (see FIG. 5B), the operation content includes the operation content related to the main part or part of the electronic device 1 and the operation content related to the operation mode of the electronic device 1, and the power supply pattern. The main part or part is controlled or the operation mode is controlled according to the above.

  That is, as the operation content related to the main part or part of the electronic device 1, in the illustrated example, “power supply pattern” “PA1”, “PA2”, “PA3”, “PA4”,. “Partial on”, “main part off”, “sleeping of XX control unit”, “release of sleep state of XX control unit”, and the like are stored. “Main part off” and “main part on” indicate that the main part (for example, the main control unit 11) of the electronic device 1 is turned off / on. Here, the main part off / on may be off / on of the main power source (not shown) constituting the power source unit 12 as well as off / on of the main control unit 11, and is not limited thereto.

  In addition, “sleeping of the OO control unit” and “releasing the sleep state of the OO control unit” mean, for example, that a part of the electronic device 1, for example, a camera control unit (not shown) constituting the imaging unit 20 is sleep Although it is shown that the system is set to sleep (pause) or the sleep mode is cancelled, the above-described OO control unit is not limited to the camera control unit. In addition, in the illustrated example, the operation content related to the operation mode is associated with “PB1”, “PB2”,... Of “power supply pattern”, and “set to manner mode”, “manner mode” as the operation mode related to the communication function. "Release", ... is stored.

FIG. 5 (3) is a diagram for explaining the control setting information CT.
The control setting information CT stores “valid / invalid” indicating whether or not to control the operation of the electronic device 1 so that the operation content corresponds to the power supply pattern. “Valid” corresponds to the power supply pattern. The on-state to be controlled is indicated by the operation content, and “invalid” indicates the off-state not controlled by the operation content corresponding to the power supply pattern, and is arbitrarily set by a user operation in advance.

  Next, the operation concept of the electronic apparatus 1 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. Further, it is possible to sequentially execute the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via a transmission medium such as a network. The same applies to other embodiments described later. In addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to the present embodiment can be executed using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating power reception processing in which the electronic device 1 receives power from the power supply device 2. This power reception process can be executed even when the main control unit 11 and the main power supply are turned off (non-operating state).
First, the main control unit 11 of the electronic device 1 supplies power transmitted from the charging primary coil (power transmission unit) CL1 of the power supply device 2 in a state where the electronic device 1 is mounted. If the start of power reception is detected by receiving the pattern at the charging secondary coil (power receiving unit) CL2 (YES in step A1), it is checked whether the power reception is permitted (step A2).

In this case, based on the detection result by the remaining amount detection circuit 12d, it is checked whether the secondary battery 12a is in the power reception permission state from the charged state. Here, if the state of charge of the secondary battery 12a is a state in which power reception is not permitted such as full charge, that is, if it is not in the state of power reception permission (NO in step A2), at this time, FIG. However, if the power reception is permitted (YES in step A2), the control setting information CT shown in FIG. 5 (3) is referred to as “valid / invalid”, that is, corresponding to the power supply pattern. It is determined whether or not to control the operation content (step A3).
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 described above, if the power reception is not permitted (NO in step A2), the flow ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the power described later is used. When the supply pattern is changed by some means, the flow may be shifted to confirmation of control setting information (step A3) described later.

  Here, if “invalid” is set as the control setting information CT (NO in step A3), it is a case where the control is not performed to the operation content corresponding to the power supply pattern. In other words, it is detected whether the connection with the power supply device 2 is disconnected, whether full charge is detected, or completion of a predetermined charging time is detected. Hereinafter, a charge end event is detected. If not (NO in step A4), charging of the secondary battery 12a is continued as it is while receiving the power supply pattern. If a charging end event is detected (YES in step A4), the flow in FIG. 5 ends at this point. If “valid” is set as the control setting information CT (YES in step A3), the process proceeds to a power supply pattern identification process (step A5).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining in detail the power supply pattern identification process (step A5 in FIG. 6).
First, the main control unit 11 checks whether any identification attribute is set in the identification attribute table TB1 by a user operation (step B1). If the identification attribute is not set by the user (NO in step B1), the main control unit 11 uses this time. A default attribute (for example, size) is determined as an identification attribute to be determined (step B10). If the identification attribute is set by the user (YES in step B1), the process proceeds to a process for determining a power supply pattern based on this identification attribute (steps B2 to B9 shown with a broken line in FIG. 7). That is, the “flag” is read from the identification attribute table TB1 (step B2), and whether the attribute (identification attribute set by the user) of “flag” is “wave magnitude” (step B3) ), “Frequency” (step B4), “wave shape”,..., Or “other attributes” (step B5).

  Now, if “wave magnitude” is set as an attribute (identification attribute set by the user) of “flag” (YES in step B3), “wave magnitude” is used as the identification attribute used this time. Is determined (step B6), and if "wave frequency" is set (YES in step B4), "wave frequency" is determined as an identification attribute to be used this time (step B7). If “shape”,... Is set (YES in step B5), “wave shape”,... Are determined as identification attributes to be used this time (step B8), and other attributes are set. If so ("NO" in step B5), "other attribute" is determined as the identification attribute to be used this time (step B9). Based on the identification attribute thus determined, the power supply pattern (reception pattern) is identified (step B11).

In this embodiment, as an example, the order of “wave magnitude” is first determined, then the frequency of the wave is determined, and so on. However, the order may be arbitrarily changed. In this embodiment, the flow for changing each of the “wave size”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”, “wave timing”,. However, it is not limited to this, “wave size”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”,
A flow (not shown) that can be changed in any combination among “wave timing”,... Also, an arbitrary wave shape pattern may be superimposed on the base power supply pattern. (It is also possible to superimpose a high-frequency wave on at least a part of the sine wave of the base, detect the superimposed part, and change the mode of the terminal.)

  That is, when the power supply pattern received by the charging secondary coil CL2 is converted into, for example, a digital power supply pattern (reception pattern) by the conversion circuit 12c, the main control unit 11 analyzes the reception pattern. At that time, one of the identification attributes “wave magnitude”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”, “wave timing”,..., “Other attributes” determined as described above. After the reception pattern is analyzed based on the above, the reception pattern, which is the analysis result, is collated with the “power supply pattern (registration pattern)” in the power supply pattern table TB2. The receipt pattern is identified by checking whether it matches the pattern.

  When the power supply pattern identification process (step A5 in FIG. 6) ends in this way, it is determined whether or not the identification is successful based on the identification result (step A6). In this case, if the “power supply pattern” that matches the reception pattern is not registered in the power supply pattern table TB2, it is determined that the identification is unsuccessful (NO in step A6), and the process proceeds to step A11 described later. However, if registered, it is determined that the identification has succeeded (YES in step A6), and the process proceeds to the next step A7, where the previously identified receipt pattern is compared with the currently identified receipt pattern to check for a change. Here, if the reception pattern has changed compared to the previous time (YES in step A7), the power supply pattern table TB2 is referred to (step A8), and the “operation content” associated with the reception pattern identified this time. Is read (step A9), and the operation of the electronic device 1 is controlled so as to be the “operation content” (step A10).

  For example, if the receipt pattern identified this time is “PA1,” “main part on” is read as the “operation content” corresponding to it, and the main part such as the main control unit 11 is turned on, but the reception pattern is “PA3”. ”Is read out as“ operation content ”corresponding to“ operating contents ”, and the XX control unit is put into sleep (pause state), and if the reception pattern is“ PB1 ”, Read “Set to manner mode” as the corresponding “operation content” to set the manner mode.

  Then, it is checked whether or not there is a charging end event (step A11). That is, it is checked whether disconnection from the power supply device 2 is detected, full charge is detected, or completion of a predetermined charging time is detected, and when a charge end event is detected (NO in step 11A) At this point, the flow of FIG. 5 is completed. If a charging end event is not detected (YES in step A11), has the identification timing been reached in order to periodically execute the above power supply pattern identification process (step A), for example, every second? Whether or not is checked (step A12).

  Here, the process returns to the above-described step A11 for detecting the charge end event until the identification timing is reached, but when the identification timing is reached (YES in step A12), the process returns to the above-described power supply pattern identification process (step A5). Thereafter, the above operation is repeated. Note that the power supply pattern identification process (step A5) is periodically executed at each identification timing as described above. However, the power supply pattern identification process may be always executed.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the electronic device 1 identifies the power supply pattern supplied with power from the power supply device 2, reads the operation content associated therewith from the power supply pattern table TB2, and Since the operation of the electronic device 1 is controlled so as to be the operation content, the electronic device 1 is controlled under the initiative of the power supply device 2 while maintaining the state where the electronic device 1 is connected to the power supply device 2. The operation can be easily controlled and is flexible, and communication means is not provided in the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2, and the configuration of the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 is not complicated. It becomes highly practical.

  Since the power supply pattern table TB2 stores the operation content in association with each of a plurality of types of power supply patterns, the operation of the electronic device 1 is changed to have various operation contents according to the type of the power supply pattern. Can be controlled.

  Since the plurality of types of power supply patterns are patterns in which at least a part of the magnitude, frequency, wave shape,..., Or a combination thereof is different, a wide variety of power supply patterns. Can be obtained.

  Since the electronic device 1 switches the main part or part of the electronic device 1 to the on state or the off state as the operation content associated with the power supply pattern, the connection with the power supply device 2 is maintained. In this state, the main part or a part can be switched on / off.

  Since the electronic device 1 switches the operation mode related to the communication function of the electronic device 1 as the operation content associated with the power supply pattern, the electronic device 1 communicates while maintaining the connection with the power supply device 2. The operation mode related to the function can be switched.

  The electronic device 1 has a stabilization circuit 12b that adjusts the power supplied by the power supply device 2 to a state in which the electronic device 1 operates stably. However, it is possible to operate normally without being affected by it.

  Since the electronic device 1 charges the secondary battery 12a with the power supplied by the power supply device 2, the electronic device 1 can be suitably used for a portable electronic device including a secondary battery as the electronic device 1.

  Since the electronic device 1 receives power by a non-contact power supply method (electromagnetic induction method), the electronic device 1 is simply placed on the power supply device 2 (non-contact connection: magnetic coupling) at the time of charging. In addition to eliminating the need for a metal electrode for electrical connection, a waterproof and dustproof structure can be secured, there is no danger of a short circuit, and there is no concern about the orientation of the electronic device 1. In addition to having various advantages, the operation can be appropriately controlled during the charging.

  Since the electronic apparatus 1 arbitrarily sets an attribute used when identifying a plurality of types of power supply patterns by a user operation, the power supply pattern can be identified with an identification attribute based on the user's intention.

  In addition, although the case where the electromagnetic induction method was adopted as the non-contact charging method between the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 in the first embodiment described above, an electric field, a magnetic field, magnetic resonance, photovoltaic power generation, vibration, You may make it receive supply electric power with the electric power supply system using any one or those combination of a sound wave. In other words, the non-contact charging method may be a radio wave reception method, an electric field / magnetic field resonance method, or an electromagnetic induction method, a radio wave reception method, an electric field / magnetic field resonance method, or a combination thereof. Moreover, a photovoltaic system may be used. Here, the photovoltaic power generation method includes, for example, a solar cell on the electronic device 1 side, a light source on the power supply device 2 side, and light by a solar cell by bringing the solar cell and the light source closer. This is a non-contact charging method in which the secondary battery on the electronic device 1 side is charged with the generated power.

  Moreover, the power supply device 2 of the first embodiment described above is applied to a contactless charging device that charges the electronic device 1 by a non-contact charging method (electromagnetic induction method), and the upper surface portion of the power supply device 2 is the electronic device 1. However, the present invention is not limited to such a placement type, and may be an approach type charging device that charges the electronic device 1 in a state where the electronic device 1 is approached. In the first embodiment described above, the electronic device 1 is placed on the power supply device 2 (contactless connection: magnetic coupling), but the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 are electrically connected. You may make it do. That is, the power supply device 2 may be a wired charging device (for example, an AC adapter) as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 8 illustrates a case where a plurality of types of power supply devices (AC adapters) 2 having different power supply patterns are electrically connected to the electronic device 1 as a modification of the first embodiment. Has a jack portion (not shown) to which the plug portion 2a of the power supply device 2 is connected, and a plurality of types of power supply devices 2 having different power supply patterns are selectively connected to the jack portion. It is like that. In this case, in the figure, the upper power supply device (AC adapter) 2 generates a power supply pattern PA1, and the lower power supply device (AC adapter) 2 generates a power supply pattern PA2. When any one of the power supply devices 2 is connected, the device 1 determines which type of the power supply device 2 is connected by identifying the power supply pattern, so that the operation content corresponding to it is obtained. In addition, the operation of the electronic device 1 may be controlled.

  In the first embodiment described above, the electronic device 1 charges the secondary battery 12a in the power supply unit 12 based on the power supply pattern from the power supply device 2, but the supply from the stabilization circuit 12b. You may make it take in voltage (DC voltage) directly as a drive voltage.

When an incoming call is received via the antenna AN2, the received content is analyzed, and a power supply pattern corresponding to the type is supplied to the electronic device 1 according to what type of specific information is included. I am doing so. The power supply device 2 stores and manages the communication identification information (telephone number and mail address) so as to be able to receive incoming calls destined for the electronic device 1.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the user designation / power supply pattern table TB3 and the reception information / power supply pattern table TB4 in the second embodiment. FIG. 11 (1) shows the user designation / power supply pattern table TB3. Show.
The user-specified / power supply pattern table TB3 is desired from among a “power supply pattern” supplied to the electronic device 1 side, an “operation content” for controlling the operation on the electronic device 1 side, and a plurality of types of power supply patterns. It is the structure which matches and memorize | stores "operation content" for selecting a power supply pattern by user operation.

  In the illustrated example, “set to manner mode”, “cancellation of manner mode” relating to the communication function as “operation contents” relating to the operation mode in association with “PB1”, “PB2”,. Are stored, and “SW1”, “SW2”,... Are stored as “operation contents”. “SW1”, “SW2”,... Of “operation contents” indicate the operation contents (switching state) of the multistage power supply pattern selection switch PS, “SW1” indicates the state switched to the first stage, “SW2 "" Indicates a state of switching to the second stage.

  How the user controls the electronic device 1 side in a state where the “operation contents” and “operation contents” in the user designation / power supply pattern table TB3 are displayed in a list on the display screen DP in association with each other. Accordingly, the power supply pattern selection switch PS is operated. For example, when “cancellation of manner mode” is designated as the “operation content” on the electronic device 1 side, the list display on the display screen DP is confirmed, and the power supply pattern selection switch PS is operated to switch to “SW2”. The control unit 21 transmits and outputs a “power supply pattern” corresponding to the operation content (switching state) of the power supply pattern selection switch PS from the power supply circuit 25.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the reception information / power supply pattern table TB4 includes a “power supply pattern” supplied to the electronic device 1 side, an “operation content” for controlling the operation on the electronic device 1 side, and a plurality of items. The configuration is such that “reception contents” for selecting based on reception information from among various power supply patterns are stored in association with each other. As the “operation content” for controlling the operation on the electronic device 1 side, in the illustrated example, “power supply pattern” “PA1”, “PA2”, “PA3”,. “Main part on”, “XX control unit sleep”... Are stored, and “reception content” is “no specific information received”, “specific information a (emergency information) received”, “specific information” b (important information) received ”is stored.

  The emergency information is, for example, information such as an emergency earthquake bulletin, but may be information including a specific keyword (urgent, emergency, etc.). The important information is, for example, information from a specific e-mail address such as instruction information from a company, and is important if it is an incoming call from a telephone number or e-mail address registered in the address book (not shown). It may be information. Similarly to the first embodiment described above, “main part off” and “main part on” indicate that the main parts (main control unit 11 and main power supply) of the electronic device 1 are turned off / on, Further, “sleeping of the OO control unit” indicates, for example, putting a part of the electronic device 1, for example, a camera control unit (not shown) to sleep (pause state).

  “No specific information received” in the “reception contents” indicates that no specific information such as specific information a (emergency information) or specific information b (important information) has been received. “Emergency information” received ”indicates a case where urgent information is received as specific information, and“ specific information b (important information) received ”indicates a case where important information with high confidentiality is received. Yes. Further, as “operation contents” for controlling the operation on the electronic device 1 side, in the illustrated example, “user setting (1)”, “PA10”, “PA11”,. “User setting (2)”,... Are stored, and “reception content” includes “specific information c received”, “specific information d received”,. “User setting (1)” and “user setting (2)” indicate operation contents arbitrarily set by a user operation. For example, “operation state” corresponding to “PA10” of “power supply pattern” is set as “user setting (1)” “release sleep state of camera control unit (not shown)”.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an outline of the overall operation of the power supply device 2 in the second embodiment.
First, when a power-on operation is performed by the power switch PW (YES in Step C1), the control unit 21 of the power supply device 2 detects whether the electronic device 1 is connected (communicationally) (Step C2). The electronic device 1 waits until the electronic device 1 is connected, but when the electronic device 1 is connected (YES in Step C2), the operation waits for the charging start switch ST (Step C3). When charging of the electronic device 1 is completed (fully charged), when a power-off operation is performed by the power switch PW, or when it is detected that the electronic device 1 is not connected You may make it complete | finish this flow at the time of (time-out).

  If the charging start switch ST is operated to start charging (YES in step C3), it is checked whether there is a user designation (instruction), that is, whether the power supply pattern selection switch PS is operated (step). C4) If the selection switch PS has not been operated (NO in step C4), the user-specified / power supply pattern table TB3 is referred to based on the current operation content of the selection switch PS, that is, the previous operation state, A “power supply pattern” corresponding to the “operation content” is transmitted and output from the power supply circuit 25 (step C5). In this case, a power supply pattern predetermined as a default pattern, for example, a power supply pattern “PB2” corresponding to “cancellation of manner mode” is transmitted from the power supply circuit 25 regardless of the previous operation state. You may do it.

  If the power supply pattern selection switch PS has been operated or has been operated (YES in step C4), the user designation / power supply pattern table TB3 is referred to based on the operation content of the current selection switch PS. Then, the “power supply pattern” corresponding to the “operation content” is transmitted and output from the power supply circuit 25 (step C6). It should be noted that the status of whether or not the user has been designated by the power supply pattern selection switch PS (process), or the power supply pattern that has been designated by the user and is currently valid can be confirmed on the display screen DP. It is like that. After transmitting and outputting the power supply pattern in this way, it is checked whether specific information (emergency information, important information, etc.) has been received from the receiving unit 27 (step C7). If specific information is not received (step C7) NO), the process proceeds to step C15 for checking whether or not there is a charge end event.

  Here, when disconnection from the power supply device 2 is detected, full charge is detected, or completion of a predetermined charging time is detected, the presence of a charge end event is detected (in step C15). NO), the flow of FIG. 12 ends at this point. If it is not detected that there is a charge end event (YES in step C15), for example, it is checked whether a regular reception timing has been reached every second (step C16), and this reception timing is reached. However, when the reception timing is reached (YES in step C16), the process returns to step C7 for checking whether or not specific information is received. In the second embodiment, the presence / absence of reception of specific information is checked at each reception timing as described above, but the presence / absence of reception of specific information may be constantly checked.

  On the other hand, when specific information (emergency information, important information, etc.) is received from the receiving unit 27 (YES in step C7), the reception information / power supply pattern table TB4 is referred to based on this specific information (step C8). It is checked whether the “power supply pattern” corresponding to the specific information is registered (step C9). If the “power supply pattern” is not registered (NO in step C9), the process proceeds to step C15 described above for detecting a charge end event, but if the “power supply pattern” is registered (YES in step C9). ) To determine the type of the specific information (steps C10 and C11). That is, it is checked whether the specific information is emergency information (step C10), information of a type corresponding to the “operation content” set by the user, or other types of information (step C11).

  Now, when emergency information is received (YES in step C10), it is changed to the “power supply pattern” corresponding to the emergency information and is transmitted from the power supply circuit 25 (step C12). For example, it is changed to a “power supply pattern” for turning on the main part (main control part 11) of the electronic device 1 and is transmitted and output. When the corresponding type of user setting information is received (YES in step C11), the information is changed to the “power supply pattern” corresponding to the information and transmitted from the power supply circuit 25 (step C13). When the type information is received (NO in step C11), the information is changed to the “power supply pattern” corresponding to the information and transmitted from the power supply circuit 25 (step C14). And it moves to step C15 which detects a charge end event, and repeats the above-mentioned operation | movement below.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the power supply device 2 refers to the user designation / power supply pattern table TB3 and the reception information / power supply pattern table TB4, and selects the electronic device 1 from among a plurality of types of power supply patterns. Since the power supply pattern corresponding to the operation content is read out and output from the power supply circuit 25 according to the operation content to be controlled, the connection state between the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 is changed. The operation of the electronic device 1 can be easily controlled under the initiative of the power supply device 2 while being maintained, and in addition to being flexible, the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 can be provided with communication means, For example, the configuration of the power supply device 2 is not complicated, and the utility becomes highly practical.

  Since the power supply device 2 arbitrarily designates the power supply pattern by the user operation, the operation of the electronic device 1 can be controlled according to the user's intention.

  When the power supply device 2 receives the specific information, the power supply device 2 refers to the reception information / power supply pattern table TB4, and changes the operation content corresponding to the specific information among the plurality of types of power supply patterns. Since the power supply pattern corresponding to the operation content is selected and transmitted from the power supply circuit 25, the operation content on the electronic device 1 side is maintained while the connection state between the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 is maintained. In addition to being able to be controlled appropriately and being flexible, there is no need to provide communication means in the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2 or to complicate the configuration of the electronic device 1 and the power supply device 2. It will be highly effective.

  Since the power supply device 2 selects the power supply pattern for changing the power state of the electronic device 1 to ON when emergency information is received as the specific information, the power supply device 2 supplies power to the electronic device 1. The operation on the electronic device 1 side can be controlled according to the emergency information.

  Since the power supply device 2 arbitrarily sets the operation content to be changed when the specific information is received by the user operation, even when the same specific information is received, for example, “camera control unit sleep” Change to “cancellation of camera control unit sleep state”.

  In the second embodiment described above, the power supply device 2 is a wired charging device to which the electronic device 1 is cabled.

For example, when power is being supplied to a digital camera, television receiver, audiovisual device, etc., during the midnight hours, the main power supply is turned off or turned on at wake-up time. You may do it. In addition, when charging an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle, if you turn off the lights you forgot to turn off, turn on the on-board air conditioner during work hours, or if you are charging while driving, The speed may be adjusted (restricted) using traffic jam information or accident information. In this case, for example, the speed may be controlled according to the wave size or the wave frequency of the power supply pattern.

  In addition, as described above, the power supply pattern is not limited to “wave size”, “wave frequency”, “wave shape”, “wave timing”,. In addition, in the case of intermittent power supply, a combination of the supply time and the intermittent time may be used. In addition, the time from when the electronic device 1 is connected to the power supply device 2 to when the power supply is started is measured, and the operation of the electronic device 1 is controlled so that the operation content corresponds to the measurement time. May be.
