Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determination unit that determines whether a second key provided on a body is pressed when a first key provided on the body is pressed and a control unit that disables the first key and inhibits an operation in response to an operation with the first key if the determination unit determines that the second key provided on the body is pressed.

Abstract: The difference voltage between the terminal voltage VB of a rechargeable battery BAT and a reference voltage Vz1 is amplified at an initial gain, thereby reducing an amplified voltage value S12. This amplified voltage value S12 is A/D converted into digital value S13. Further, an electrical signal S18 is detected corresponding to the ambient temperature around the battery and is then A/D converted into a digital value S19. Digital values S13 and S19 charge with the progress of charging of the rechargeable battery. The change in these digital values is read by CPU 14 one after another, and the gain used in amplification of the difference voltage is renewed by the gains corresponding to digital values S13 and S19, which are stored in advance in a ROM 20. In the same manner, the reference voltage used in amplification of the difference voltage is renewed by reference voltages Vz2, Vz3, and Vz4 one by one with the progress of charging of the rechargeable battery.
