INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PERIPHERAL DEVICE AND NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a power transmission section configured to transmit electric power to a peripheral device which is associated with the information processing apparatus in a non-contact manner including no mechanical connection with the peripheral device;
a power receiving section configured to receive electric power transmitted from the peripheral device in a non-contact manner including no mechanical connection;
a power transmission module configured to transmit electric power to the peripheral device via the power transmission section if electric power is being supplied through a power cable;
an output module configured to output power transmission request information indicating a request for the transmission of electric power to the peripheral device if the electric power supplied through the power cable is cut off; and
a charging module configured to charge, via the power receiving section, a battery with the electric power transmitted from the peripheral device to which the output module outputs the power transmission request information.
