  • Patent number: 11714137
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a first processor; a load that operates with power supplied by a rechargeable battery; and a first sensor that obtains information on an output voltage of the rechargeable battery. The first processor determines whether the rechargeable battery is in a low usage state with regard to power supply by the rechargeable battery. Based on the information obtained by the first sensor, the first processor determines a degree of decrease in the output voltage over a period of time during which the rechargeable battery is determined to be in the low usage state. Based on the determined degree of decrease, the first processor detects a deterioration of the rechargeable battery.

  • Patent number: 11715071
    Abstract: A wrist terminal includes a communicator, timer, and at least one processor. The communicator receives a beacon ID transmitted from a beacon transmitter installed in a workplace. The timer obtains date-and-time information on a date and time at which the communicator receives the beacon ID. The processor performs a determining process and recording process. In the determining process, the processor determines whether a work status in the workplace is a work start or a work end, based on a state of the wrist terminal when the communicator receives the beacon ID. In the recording process, the processor records, in a storage, log information that includes the date-and-time information obtained by the timer and work status information on the work status determined in the determining process, the date-and-time information and the work status information being associated with each other.
