  • Patent number: 10467167
    Abstract: Diodes allow passage of electricity from a battery or a commercial power supply toward a processing system. A power feed reception terminal establishes a connection with a power feed reception path laid in a docking station or with a power feed reception path laid in another external device. Switches either cut off or connect paths meant for connecting the output sides of the diodes and the power feed reception terminal. A magnetic sensor detects the start of a connection between the power feed reception terminal and the power feed reception path laid in the docking station. When the start of a connection is detected, the control unit switches the switches to allow connection. When the power feed reception terminal is connected to the power feed reception path laid in the other external device, the control unit controls the switches based on the result of communication with the other external device.

  • Patent number: 10459503
    Abstract: A terminal device includes a state acquisition unit that notifies, when an amount of electric power consumption of the terminal device is small, a docking station of a small electric power consumption state and a power-on management unit that notifies, in response to an instruction to turn on a power supply, the docking station that the power supply is turned on and that starts an electric power supply to a CPU. The docking station includes a charge setting unit that decreases, when a notification of the small electric power consumption state is received from the state acquisition unit, electric power consumption of the docking station when a notification that the power supply is turned on is received from the power-on management unit and increases the electric power consumption of the docking station when the notification that the power supply is turned on is not received from the power-on management unit.
