1. An electronic unit, comprising:
- an electricity reception section configured to receive a first power transmitted via one of a magnetic field or an electric field;
a secondary battery;
a charging section configured to charge the secondary battery during a charging period, based on the received first power,wherein the charging period and a non-charging period are set in a time-divisional manner; and
a state notification section configured to;
notify a state of the electronic unit to an outside environment of the electronic unit;
notify, in the charging period, the state of the electronic unit based on the received first power; and
notify, in the non-charging period, the state of the electronic unit based on a second power stored in the secondary battery.

Abstract
An electronic unit includes an electricity reception section configured to receive power transmitted using one of a magnetic field and an electric field, a secondary battery configured to be charged based on a received power received by the electricity reception section, and a state notification section configured to provide notification to outside as to a state of its own unit. A charging period during which the secondary battery is charged based on the received power and a non-charging period are set in a time-divisional manner. The state notification section notifies of the unit state based on the received power in both of the charging period and the non-charging period.
