Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a measuring module and a controller. The measuring module is configured to measure a power supplied from an external power supply during a period when the electronic apparatus is powered on or off. The controller is configured to output first data indicative of the power measured by the measuring module when the electronic apparatus is in a power-on state, temporarily record in a memory second data indicative of the power measured by the measuring module when the electronic apparatus is in a power-off state, and output the second data after the electronic apparatus transitions to the power-on state.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display module, a first button, a second button, a third button, and a controller. The display module is configured to display an image in a first or second orientation. The first and second buttons are disposed substantially symmetrically with respect to a first axis. The third button is disposed substantially symmetrically to the second button with respect to a second axis intersecting the first axis at a substantially right angle. The controller is configured to assign a first function and a second function to the first button and the second button, respectively, when the display module displays the image in the first orientation, and to assign the first function and the second function to the second button and the third button, respectively, when the display module displays the image in the second orientation.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a display module, at least one function button, an operation-mode identifying module, and a function switching module. The display module displays thereon display data processed by an application running on an operating system (OS) or display data based on received broadcast waves. The function button is provided separately from a hardware keyboard on which a plurality of keys are arranged. The operation-mode identifying module identifies a mode of operation with respect to the function button. The function switching module controls switching a plurality of functions defined by the OS or an application running on the OS depending on the mode of operation identified by the operation-mode identifying module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing, an operation area, at least one display, an input detector, a light source device, and a controller. The operation area is provided on an outer surface of the housing. The display is located in the operation area, and includes a first indicator and a second indicator made of a light transmissive material. The first indicator corresponds to a design that indicates operation content, while the second indicator is located in a position not covered by an operation tool with which operation is performed on the first indicator and indicates operation state. The input detector faces the operation area in the housing and detects electrostatic capacitance in the operation area. The light source device emits light to the display in the operation area. The controller controls the light source device based on a variation in electrostatic capacitance detected by the input detector to turn on or off at least the second indicator.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a connector, a graphics controller, a management controller, and a power supply control module. The graphics controller controls output of video signals and audio signals from the connector. The management controller inputs/outputs the various commands via the connector. The power supply control module supplies power for operation to both of the graphics controller and the management controller during a power-off state, and supplies power for operation only to the management controller in a power-on state. Both of the graphics controller and the management controller include a function of acquiring identification information of the connection destination by means of the signal line. And, the management controller deactivates the function of acquiring identification information of the connection destination by means of the signal line during a power-on state.
