POWER CONTROL SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A power control system comprising:
- an electronic apparatus; and
a power transmission apparatus configured to send power to the electronic apparatus, whereinthe power transmission apparatus includesa power generation unit configured to generate the power;
a first communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic apparatus; and
a power transmission unit configured to send the power generated by the power generation unit to the electronic apparatus in response to a request from the electronic apparatus received at the first communication unit, andthe electronic apparatus includesa processing unit configured to perform a process;
a second communication unit configured to send, to the power transmission apparatus, a request for starting or stopping supplying the power;
a power receiving unit configured to receive the power from the power transmission apparatus; and
a power supply control unit configured to control, in a power saving mode in which power consumption is smaller than that in a normal mode in which the power is supplied to the processing unit and the second communication unit, the power supplied to the second communication unit to a value smaller than the power supplied to the second communication unit in the normal mode.

Abstract
A power control system includes an electronic apparatus; and a power transmission apparatus configured to send power to the electronic apparatus. The power transmission apparatus includes a power generation unit configured to generate the power; a first communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic apparatus; and a power transmission unit configured to send the generated power to the electronic apparatus in response to a request from the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a second communication unit configured to send, to the power transmission apparatus, a request for starting or stopping supplying the power; a power receiving unit configured to receive the power from the power transmission apparatus; and a control unit configured to reduce the power supplied to the second communication unit in a power saving mode.

11. An electronic apparatus comprising:
-
a processing unit configured to perform a process; a communication unit configured to send, to a power transmission apparatus configured to send generated power to an external device, a request for starting or stopping supplying the power; a power receiving unit configured to receive the power from the power transmission apparatus; and a power supply control unit configured to control, in a power saving mode in which power consumption is smaller than that in a normal mode in which the power is supplied to the processing unit and the communication unit, the power supplied to the communication unit to a value smaller than the power supplied to the communication unit in the normal mode.
