1. An information processing apparatus which is configured to connect to a fuel cell unit including a fuel cell configured to generate power by chemical reaction and a sensor configured to sense a tilt of the fuel cell, and which is configured to be driven with power supplied from the fuel cell, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller to receive information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell sensed by the sensor; and
a processing unit to notify a user of information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell received by the controller,wherein the processing unit displays the information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell and the processing unit displays information indicative of a direction of the tilt of the fuel cell.

2. An information processing apparatus which is configured to connect to a fuel cell unit including a fuel cell configured to generate power by chemical reaction and a sensor configured to sense a tilt of the fuel cell, and which is configured to be driven with power supplied from the fuel cell, the information processing apparatus comprising:
-
a controller to receive information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell sensed by the sensor; and a processing unit to notify a user of information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell received by the controller, wherein the processing unit gives a warning to a user when a value of the tilt is larger than a first threshold value and the processing unit stops an operation of the cell unit, when a value of the tilt is larger than a second threshold value different from the first threshold value, or when a value of the tilt is not smaller than the first threshold value after the warning is given.

3. A method of controlling an operation of an information processing apparatus which is structured to be connected to a fuel cell unit including a fuel cell configured to generate power by chemical reaction and a sensor configured to sense a tilt of the fuel cell, and which is configured to be driven with power supplied from the fuel cell, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the information processing apparatus, information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell sensed by the sensor; notifying a user of the information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell received by the information processing apparatus; displaying the information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell on a screen of the information processing apparatus; and displaying information indicative of a direction of the tilt of the fuel cell on the screen of the information processing apparatus.

4. A method of controlling an operation of an information processing apparatus which is structured to be connected to a fuel cell unit including a fuel cell configured to generate power by chemical reaction and a sensor configured to sense a tilt of the fuel cell, and which is configured to be driven with power supplied from the fuel cell, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the information processing apparatus, information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell sensed by the sensor; notifying a user of the information indicative of the tilt of the fuel cell received by the information processing apparatus, wherein the notifying includes giving a warning to a user when a value of the tilt is larger than a first threshold value; and stopping an operation of the fuel cell, when a value of the tilt is larger than a second threshold value, or when a value of the tilt is not smaller than the first threshold value after the warning is given. - View Dependent Claims (5)
