Abstract:
1. A mobile device having a transmitting section that transmits data, the device comprising: a power operating section that performs power-on/off operations; a power supply control section that supplies power to each section of the mobile device, including the transmitting section, which are activated when power is supplied, in response to a power-on operation by the power operating section, and cuts off supply of power to each section in response to a power-off operation by the power operating section, wherein when data is being transmitted by the transmitting section, the power supply control section causes the transmitting section to continue data transmission by continuously supplying power even when a power-off operation is received from the power operating section, and cuts off the power supply to the transmitting section upon completion of data transmission by the transmitting section; and a transmission result notification section that detects, in response to a power-on operation of the power operating section, whether data transmission was performed by the transmitting section after the previous power-off operation of the power operating section, detects whether the data transmission is completed or not when the data transmission was performed, and notifies a user of a transmission result.
