Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a power supply having a battery; a load; a load driver that drives said load by said battery; a power supply state detector that outputs power supply recovery information, wherein said power supply recovery information is obtained by repeatedly sampling a measured voltage value of said battery at predetermined intervals of time beginning at a start time, measured after a time said driving of said load is stopped, said sampling being performed under the condition that said battery has not recovered after the driving of said load is stopped; and a controller that instructs said load driver to drive said load, based on said power supply recovery information supplied from said power supply state detector, wherein said controller controls said power supply state detector so as to select said predetermined intervals of time, each of which is different in duration, or selects a starting time for sampling the measured voltage of said battery from a plurality of starting times after said driving of said load is stopped.
