[Prior Art] In the portable electronic device, the prior art for supplying the operating power source for controlling the machine based on the processing state of the machine has a state in which the display unit casing is blocked from being locked by the display device to cut off the display device In the technique of energizing, the technique of turning off the power of the display device by detecting the state in which the machine is separated from the table by the pressing sensor provided on the bottom surface of the machine (for example, refer to Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 1 1 - 1 49 60) . However, the device technology of the prior art is, after all, the power control technology for the display device, and cannot be applied to the power control for the wireless device. For example, if the technique of turning off the power-on of the detecting machine from the table is turned off, the machine carrying the interrupted power cannot be used. In addition, since the state of the machine is grasped, the power-on and power-off of the machine are irregularly repeated or the operation becomes unstable, and there is a problem that the reliability of the machine is not maintained, and there is a problem in reliability. As described above, there is no power control technology that is effective for the wireless device and is based on the use of the environmental state. When the prior art is used, sometimes the power is turned off during the carrying, or the state of the machine is loaded. The power is turned off and the power is turned off irregularly, and the operation becomes unstable so that various problems such as the inability to maintain the normal machine state are caused. -4- (2) 1247206 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The state of the invention is that it is possible to sense (detect) the angle at which the machine is placed and to control a particular power source within the machine.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of a wireless device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The wireless device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a device main body 100, a wireless communication unit 110, a state sensing unit 102, a power management unit 1A, and a power input/cut unit 104. The wireless communication unit 1 与 1 and the state sensing unit 1 〇 2 and the power source management unit 103 and the power source input/cut unit 1 〇 4 are respectively provided in the device body 100 - 5 - (3) 1247206 The wireless communication unit 1 0 1 has a specific The wireless transmission/reception antenna of the wavelength receives the operation power supply by the power supply input/disconnection unit 104 to perform transmission and reception with other wireless devices, wireless relay devices such as access points, and the like. The state sensing unit 102 is for sensing (detecting) the posture of the machine body 100. For example, the state sensing unit 102 is constituted by, for example, a mercury switch, a gyro sensor, a leveler, or the like, a specific angle sensor or an angular velocity sensor. In the first embodiment, the state sensing unit 102 detects the posture of the main body of the apparatus over time. Specifically, when the machine body 1 is displaced from the upright state shown in FIG. 2A to the horizontal state of FIG. 2B, the state sensing unit 102 is effective in the period in which the state is maintained within the range of the specific angle. Level status detection signal (PE). The power management unit 103 manages the power on and off of the machine, as well as the power saving mode and the like. In the first embodiment, the power source management unit 〇3 normally performs power management of the device, and when the state sensing unit 1 接到2 receives the state detection signal (PE) of the active level, the state detection is accepted. During the entire period of the signal (PE), the power supply is input to the power input/cutoff unit 104. The power input/cutoff unit 1 04 supplies the battery power (P S ) in the wireless communication unit 1 与 1 and the control device as an operation power supply. When the power supply/disconnection unit 1 04 is instructed to input power by the power management unit 103, the battery power (P S ) in the device is supplied to the wireless communication unit 1 〇 1 as an operation power supply. Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B are views showing the relationship between the state of the mounting device and the opening/closing state (ON/OFF) state of the machine power supply in the first embodiment. In Fig. 2 (4) 1247206, when the machine main body 100 is in the upright state shown in Fig. 2A, the machine (in the first embodiment, the wireless communication unit 101) is in the power off state (OFF) state, when the machine When the main body 100 is in the horizontal state shown in FIG. 2B, the "machine (wireless communication unit 1 〇 1) is in a power-on (Ο N) state.

At this time, since the power source management unit 103 does not input an instruction to the power source input/disconnection unit 104, the power source input/disconnection unit 104 does not supply the operation power source to the wireless communication unit 101. Therefore, the wireless communication unit 101 indicates a power-off state, and the operation is stopped. When the machine body 100 is changed from the erect state shown in Fig. 2A to the traverse state of Fig. 2B, the state sensing unit 102 outputs a state detection signal (PE). When the state detecting unit 102 receives the state detection signal (PE), the power source management unit 103 instructs the power source input/cut unit 104 to input power. When the power source input/disconnection unit 104 receives an instruction to input power from the power source management unit 103, the battery power source (PS) in the machine is supplied to the wireless communication unit 101 as an operation power source. Therefore, the wireless communication unit 1 成为 1 is in a power-on state, and can perform wireless communication with an external device in accordance with a protocol. In the machine structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the machine power can be controlled to be turned on and off (ΟΝ/OFF) by changing the posture of the apparatus main body 100. Therefore, the opening and closing operation of the machine power supply is extremely simple, and it is visually easy to grasp the power supply condition of the machine. In addition, it is not necessary to open and close the operation (5) 1247206 as the manual operation switch of the power supply. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience of accidentally pressing the power switch during carrying, and it is possible to provide a beautiful and elegant machine that is easy to use. 3A and 3B are views showing a state in which the wireless device shown in Figs. 1, 2A and 2B is covered with a sealing structure so that the wireless device can be used in water or rain. Here, the machine body 100 is housed in the waterproof case 300. At this time, as described above, since the machine body 100 does not necessarily need to be used for the manual operation of the opening and closing operation power supply, it is easy to handle the waterproof casing 300. In the configuration shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the machine 100 is illustrated. The upright state shown in 3A is changed to the horizontal state shown in FIG. 3B, and the above-described machine body 100 is in an autopower on state, and the wireless communication unit 101 starts the wireless communication operation. Further, in the configuration shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, although the waterproof case 300 is used so that it can be used in water or rain, it is not necessary to provide a manual operation switch in the machine body 100. Therefore, for example, the frame body of the above-described machine body 1 can be easily formed into a sealed structure, and a machine which can be used in water or rain can be easily realized, which is convenient to use. A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4 .

Input power. For example, when the state sensing unit 202 receives the state detection signal (PE) of the active level when the power supply of the wireless communication unit 20 1 is started, the power management unit 203 activates the time management unit 204 and manages the time. The portion 204 receives a timing output signal for a specific time (e.g., 1 minute). At this time, if the state detection signal (P E ) of the active level is continuously received by the state sensing unit 220, the power source management unit 203 instructs the power source input/cut unit 205 to input the power. By this, it is possible to avoid inputting power in a state where the posture of the machine body 200 is undetermined (unstabilized). Referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B illustrate the operation of the second embodiment of the present invention. When the machine body 200 is set to the upright state shown in Fig. 2A or the state of Fig. 2A, the state detecting portion (02) of the active level is not output by the state sensing portion 220. At this time, the power supply input unit 205 does not instruct the power input/cut unit 205 to input the power supply, and the power supply input/cut unit 205 does not supply the (7) 1247206 line communication unit 210. Therefore, the wireless communication unit 210 is in the power-off state, and the operation is stopped. When the machine body 200 is changed from the upright state shown in Fig. 2A to the horizontal state shown in Fig. 2B, the state sensing unit 202 outputs the state detection signal (PE) to the power source management unit 203. When the power source management unit 203 receives the state detection signal (PE) from the state sensing unit 202, it activates the time management unit 204, and performs power management of the device based on the timing output signal. In the second embodiment, the power source input/cut unit 205 is instructed to input power according to the state detection signal (PE) of the active level output from the state sensing unit 202 and the timing output signal of the time management unit 204. When the power management unit 203 receives the state detection signal (PE) of the active level by the state management unit 202, the time management unit 204 is activated, and the time management unit 204 receives the timing output signal for a specific time (for example, one minute). At this time, when the state control unit 202 continues to receive the state detection signal (PE) of the active level, the power source management unit 203 instructs the power source input/disconnection unit 205 to input the power. Thereby, it is possible to avoid inputting the power source in a state where the posture of the machine body 200 is undetermined (unstabilized). Further, even after the start of the wireless communication unit, the time management unit 404 can be used to perform power management. For example, the wireless communication unit 2 0 1 can be operated for the set time at each set interval period under the preset process management. Specifically, between the wireless communication unit 20 1 and a wireless communication terminal (not shown) for communicating with the wireless communication unit 20 1 , for example, the main body 200 can be at an air temperature every hour and outside. For the measurement, the wireless communication terminal only performs communication for one minute -10 (8) 1247206 to obtain the data of the outside air temperature. In each of the above embodiments, the configuration in which the state sensing units 102, 202 can detect only the angle detection of a predetermined range is exemplified. As a state sensing means capable of obtaining a plurality of ranges of angle detection signals, or a plurality of angle sensors for obtaining a plurality of ranges of angle detection signals, and also for detecting angles using the plurality of ranges The signal is used to control the supply of the machine power. It is also possible to detect signals (displacement 1 and displacement 2) based on, for example, a plurality of ranges of angles, and the power source management unit 1 〇3 sets the wireless communication unit 1 0 1 to a waiting state based on the first angle detection signal (displacement 1) ( In the power saving mode such as sleep, the second communication signal (displacement 2) is used to set the wireless communication unit 1 〇1 to an operation mode capable of transmitting and receiving, etc., and the machine power can be controlled in accordance with the switching of the operation mode. The power management unit 103 may turn on the wireless communication unit 101 by using the first angle detection signal (displacement 1), and turn off the wireless communication unit 1〇1 by the second angle detection signal (displacement 2). Power off ) to control the power of the machine. Further, the first angle detector may detect the angle in the A direction, and the second angle detector may detect the angle in the B direction orthogonal to the direction A. With such a configuration, the power management unit 103 can control the turning on of the machine when the detection signal of each angle detector is outputted to indicate an effective angle detection signal within a predetermined range of angles of each angle detector.
