  • Information processing device with sensor detecting movement of device housing
    Patent number: 9436236
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a sensor section configured to detect a change in an attitude of a housing, a cooling fan configured to cool the housing, and a fan control circuit configured to control rotation of the cooling fan. When a change in the attitude of the housing has been detected by the sensor section, the fan control circuit stops the rotation of the cooling fan or decreases the number of rotation of the cooling fan to be lower than that in an ordinary operation. Thereafter, when a change in the attitude of the housing is no longer detected by the sensor section, the fan control circuit returns the rotation of the cooling fan to that in the ordinary operation.
