  • Publication number: 20130279496
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an communication apparatus includes a processor and a controller. The processor receives a communication signal from the communication ports or the communication network, and executes communication processing based on a first program corresponding to a communication protocol of a communication port being connected. The controller switches from the first program set in the processor to a second program corresponding to a communication protocol different from that of the first program, based on a predetermined condition.

  • Patent number: 8456149
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a power supply unit, a current value calculator, and an input power value calculator. The current value calculator is configured to calculate a current value on a power supply cable led out from the power supply unit based on a voltage between two ends of the power supply cable and a resistance value of the power supply cable. The input power value calculator is configured to calculate an input power value of the power supply unit based on the current value on the power supply cable calculated by the current value calculator and an input/output characteristic (efficiency) of the power supply unit.
