Patent ID: 8063791

Claim:
An electronic apparatus, comprising: an indicator configured to indicate an operation status of a device; a switch configured to receive an input from a user; a time determination module configured to determine whether a duration while the input is continually received by the switch exceeds a first predetermined time, and to determine whether the duration exceeds a second predetermined time longer than the first predetermined time; a lighting controller configured to turn on the indicator in a first lighting pattern when the time determination module determines that the duration exceeds the first predetermined time, and to switch the first lighting pattern to a second lighting pattern to turn on the indicator in the second lighting pattern when the time determination module determines that the duration exceeds the second predetermined time; a detector configured to detect when reception of the input by the switch is ended; and a processor configured to execute a first initialization associated with a first duration representing the duration longer than or equal to the first predetermined time and shorter than the second predetermined time when the detector detects continuous reception of the input by the switch during the first duration is ended while the indicator has been turned on in the first lighting pattern, and to execute a second initialization associated with a second duration representing the duration longer than the second predetermined time when the detector detects continuous reception of the input by the switch during the second duration is ended while the indicator has been turned on in the second lighting pattern.
