Abstract: An electronic device comprises a main battery used as a drive power source for driving the electronic device, a secondary battery used as a drive power source instead of the main battery when the main battery cannot be used, a battery detection unit that detects an event of removal of the main battery from the electronic device, and a power control unit that changes the drive power source from the main battery to the secondary battery and controls operation of the electronic device to reduce power consumption by the electronic device when removal of the main battery is detected by the battery detection unit.

Abstract: A control device includes a sensor, an analysis unit, and a control unit. The sensor includes a stationary member and a rotatable member. The stationary member includes a first electrode and at least two second electrodes. The rotatable member includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode. The first electrode electrically contacts the third electrode and each second electrode electrically contacts the fourth electrode in sequence when the stationary member is rotated. The analysis unit is configured for determining which second electrode electrically contacts the fourth electrode. The control unit is configured for executing a corresponding command based upon the determination of the analysis unit.

Abstract: The present invention is a lightweight, cordless security camera comprising a lightweight stand or tripod, a video camera with pan, tilt, and zoom articulation and an audio microphone, a wireless networking interface enabling wireless access to the camera controls, video, and audio data streams, an antenna enabling transmission and reception of the aforementioned data via the aforementioned wireless networking interface, and a lightweight, battery power supply providing power to the video camera and wireless networking system. The lightweight, battery power supply includes one or more quickly coupled and uncoupled lightweight batteries which can be easily and quickly interchanged to provide continuous power to the security camera. This enables security forces such as police and military forces to safely and continuously monitor and surveil areas including crime scenes and combat theaters.

Abstract: A battery pack for mounting to a camera and camera stand is described. The battery pack has attachment means on opposite sides. The attachment means are of complementary design so that the battery pack can be mounted between the camera and the stand. Each attachment means permits linear adjustment of the camera. The two means provide parallel linear adjustment of the camera with respect to the battery pack and of the battery pack with respect to the stand.

Abstract: An intelligent battery module for a multimedia device includes a device housing, a battery unit and an intelligent circuit arrangement. The intelligent circuit arrangement is provided within the device housing for electrically communicating a multimedia battery and the battery unit with a battery terminal of the multimedia device, in such a manner that when the multimedia battery is mounted onto a battery slot, the intelligent circuit arrangement is adapted to electrically connect the multimedia battery with the battery terminal so as to allow the multimedia battery to initially activate the multimedia device, and when the multimedia device is initially activated by the multimedia battery, the intelligent circuit arrangement is arranged to electrically connect the battery unit with the battery terminal so as to allow the multimedia device to be continuously operated by the battery unit without electrically further recourse to electricity supply of the multimedia battery.

Abstract: A power supply circuit for a digital camera, including a DC power supply device for supplying direct current power; an image inputting device driven by the DC power supply device; a light emitting diode device driven by the DC power supply device and which auxiliary illuminates a subject to be imaged by the image inputting device; and a backup device connected to an output side of the DC power supply device and adapted for preliminarily charging the direct current power.

Abstract: A battery pack that includes a data storage unit capable of storing data processed with an electronic device and a data control unit for controlling reading, writing, deleting, and duplicating of data in the data storing unit. A data communication unit for transmitting and receiving data controlled by the data control unit. A charger includes a data communication unit for transmitting and receiving data with the battery pack via a communication terminal and a data operating unit for sending control signals instructing data reading, writing, deleting, and duplicating of data in the data storage unit of the battery pack via the data communication unit. A data reproducing unit for reproducing the data obtained via the data communication unit. This provides a simple battery pack which can record data handled by an electronic device to which the battery pack is mounted, and a charger enabling easy operating of the recorded data.

Abstract: A digital camera having image capture and processing electronics receives a first battery for operating the image capture and processing electronics of the digital camera and has an integral printer having a removable cartridge for printing captured images on receivers. The integral cartridge includes cartridge interface and printer actuator electronics and a second battery in the cartridge for operating the cartridge interface and printer actuator electronics.

Abstract: A forced-driving apparatus for a film rewinding motor of a camera which is adapted to rewind a film into a film cartridge includes supplemental power supply terminals which can be connected from the outside to supply power to rotate the film rewinding motor in a film rewinding direction.
