ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a temperature measurement section that measures a temperature of a heat generation source generating heat by consuming power or a temperature of an inner position of a casing of which the temperature changes due to the heat generation of the heat generation source; and
an environmental temperature calculation section that calculates a temperature which is calculated using a predetermined relational equation that is different in accordance with a model from a difference between a first temperature measured by the temperature measurement section at a point in time when the heat generation source starts consuming a predetermined amount of power and a second temperature measured by the temperature measurement section at a point in time after the passage of a predetermined period from the start of consumption of a predetermined amount of power by the heat generation source as an environmental temperature in an environment where the casing is placed.

8. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, comprising the steps of:
-
measuring a first temperature of a heat generation source generating heat by consuming power or a temperature of an inner portion of a casing of which the temperature changes due to the heat generation of the heat generation source at a point in time when the heat generation source starts consuming a predetermined amount of power; measuring a second temperature of the heat generation source or the inner portion of the casing at a point in time after the passage of a predetermined period from the start of consumption of a predetermined amount of power by the heat generation source; and calculating a temperature which is calculated using a predetermined relational equation that is different in accordance with a model from a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature as an environmental temperature in an environment where the casing is placed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
