Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a remaining charge detector to detect charge remaining in a battery; a status indicator to display status of the battery based on an output of the remaining charge detector; a controller to control an operating mode of the information processing apparatus and power supply to the status indicator, the operating mode at least including an energy save mode; and an instruction acceptance unit to accept user instruction for displaying the status of the battery using the status indicator, wherein the controller stops power supply to the status indicator by switching a power supply control signal for the remaining charge detector in transitioning to the energy saving mode, and, while still in the energy saving mode, starts power supply to the status indicator by switching the power supply control signal for the remaining charge detector in response to the instruction acceptance unit accepting the user instruction for displaying and stops power supply to the status indicator by switching the power supply control signal for the remaining charge detector in response to releasing the user instruction for displaying.
