  • Patent number: 11664675
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first voltage conversion unit, a second voltage conversion unit, and a control unit. The first voltage conversion unit generates a first voltage from power supplied from a first power supply or a second power supply. The second voltage conversion unit generates a second voltage, which is lower than the first voltage, from power supplied from the first power supply or the second power supply. The control unit controls a process of supplying power, supplied from the first power supply, to the first voltage conversion unit and a process of supplying power, supplied from the second power supply, to the second voltage conversion unit, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20230100678
    Abstract: An image capture apparatus comprises a first load, a second load and a power receiving circuitry that receives power from a second power supply which is different from a first power supply, and performs control so as to supply power from the first power supply to the first load and the second load, and controls such that when the power receiving circuitry is capable of receiving power that is greater than the power from the first power supply from the second power supply, the power from the first power supply is supplied to the first load, and the power from the second power supply which is greater than the power from the first power supply is supplied to the second load.

  • Publication number: 20220345637
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus attachable to an accessory includes a power supply unit, and a control unit for controlling the power supply unit. The electronic apparatus can transition from a normal operating state to a power-saving state that includes a first power-saving state in which a power supply switch of the electronic apparatus is turned off, and a second power-saving state in which a non-operating state continues for a predetermined time. The control unit receives first information indicating whether or not the power supply from the electronic apparatus to the accessory is requested in the first power-saving state, and second information indicating whether or not the power supply from the electronic apparatus to the accessory is requested in the second power-saving state. The control unit causes the power supply unit to supply the power in the power-saving state where the power supply is requested.

  • Publication number: 20220115866
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes a communication unit and a control unit. The control unit controls the communication unit so as to perform authentication communication with a cable after the cable is connected to the power supply apparatus, and controls the communication unit so as not to accept a request from an external apparatus connected to the cable in a period until the authentication communication is completed.

  • Patent number: 11054874
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises an interface including a first terminal that receives power from an external device and a second terminal for communicating with the external device, and at least one processor and/or at least one circuit to perform the operations of a communication unit that communicates with the external device via the second terminal, and a control unit that controls a connection between the second terminal and a ground, wherein in a case that a state of power received via the first terminal is a predetermined state, the communication unit sends a reset request for stopping the supply of power to the external device, and the control unit controls the connection between the second terminal and the ground from a connected state to a disconnected state.
