Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a battery; a charging unit operable to charge the battery in a power-off state; a disabling unit operable to disable power-on of the electronic device, if a voltage of the battery is less than a first voltage threshold value and if the battery is being charged in the power-off state; and a notifying unit operable to: provide a power-on disabled notification indicating that the battery has not reached the first voltage threshold, if the power-on is disabled and if the battery is being charged in the power-off state; and provide a power-on enabled notification, if the voltage of the battery is equal to or greater than the first voltage threshold value and if the battery is being charged in the power-off state, wherein the notifying unit provides the power-on enabled notification while the voltage of the battery is being raised by the charging unit and before the battery has reached a fully charged state.
