Information processing system and information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus including;
a recording and/or reproducing unit for recording data into a recording medium and/or for reading data from the information recording medium;
a power-supply unit capable of supplying internal power by using a battery;
a power-supply information creation unit for creating power-supply information in which predetermined information about said power-supply unit is stored; and
an information transmitter for transmitting said power-supply information to another information processing apparatus, and wherein said another information processing apparatus includes a controller for performing control so as to obtain a predetermined operation in the information processing system based on the contents stored in said received power-supply information.

Abstract
Battery information is transmitted from a recording and playback apparatus to a host computer. In the host computer, based on the time for which the operation can be continued, corresponding to the current operating status and the remaining battery level, stored in the battery information, a warning is output, the data of a cache memory is written, data writing prohibition is set, and a forced closing process is performed. With this construction, in a system formed of a recording and playback apparatus, such as a CD-R/RW drive unit, and a personal computer, a proper system operation corresponding to the remaining battery level of the recording and playback apparatus is obtained, and the data recorded on the recording medium is prevented from being destroyed as a result of operation stopping due to, for example, the remaining battery level becoming zero.
