1. A mobile device having a transmitting section that transmits data, the device comprising:
- a power operating section that performs power-on/off operations;
a power supply control section that supplies power to each section of the mobile device, including the transmitting section, which are activated when power is supplied, in response to a power-on operation by the power operating section, and cuts off supply of power to each section in response to a power-off operation by the power operating section,wherein when data is being transmitted by the transmitting section, the power supply control section causes the transmitting section to continue data transmission by continuously supplying power even when a power-off operation is received from the power operating section, and cuts off the power supply to the transmitting section upon completion of data transmission by the transmitting section; and
a transmission result notification section that detects, in response to a power-on operation of the power operating section, whether data transmission was performed by the transmitting section after the previous power-off operation of the power operating section, detects whether the data transmission is completed or not when the data transmission was performed, and notifies a user of a transmission result.

Abstract
A mobile device is equipped with a transmitting function to transmit data. When a power switch is turned off during data transmission, a transition is made to a transmission-during-power-off mode that continues data transmission. The transition to the transmission-during-power-off mode is performed when an inquiry is made on a screen as to whether transmission will be performed and “continue” is subsequently selected. In this mode, even when the mobile device with the power switch being turned off is carried around, data transmission is continued and data is recorded into a storage section of a home personal computer.

7. A mobile device having a transmitting section that transmits data, the device comprising:
-
a power operating section that performs power-on/off operations; and a power supply control section that supplies power to each section of the mobile device, including the transmitting section, which are activated when power is supplied, in response to a power-on operation by the power operating section, and cuts off supply of power to each section in response to a power-off operation by the power operating section, wherein the transmitting section commences data transmission in response to a power-off operation of the power operating section, the power supply control section causes the transmitting section to perform data transmission by supplying power thereto when receiving a power-off operation from the power operating section, and cuts off the power supply to the transmitting section upon completion of data transmission by the transmitting section; and a transmission result notification section that detects, in response to a power-on operation of the power operating section, whether data transmission was performed by the transmitting section after the previous power-off operation of the power operating section, detects whether the data transmission is completed or not when the data transmission was performed, and notifies a user of a transmission result. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A mobile device having a transmitting section that transmits data, the device comprising:
-
a power operating section that performs power-on/off operations; and a power supply control section that supplies power to each section of the mobile device, including the transmitting section, which are activated when power is supplied, in response to a power-on operation by the power operating section, and cuts off supply of power to each section in response to a power-off operation by the power operating section, wherein when data is being transmitted by the transmitting section, the power supply control section causes the transmitting section to continue data transmission by continuously supplying power even when a power-off operation is received from the power operating section, and cuts off the power supply to the transmitting section upon completion of data transmission by the transmitting section, wherein the transmitting section transmits data via wireless, wherein the transmitting section comprises an antenna having a fixed antenna primary radiating element and a movable antenna secondary element that controls at least a directivity of communication by the antenna primary radiating element, and the mobile device comprises an antenna drive section that moves the antenna secondary element so that the directivity of the communication by the antenna primary radiating element spreads in a direction that approximates omni-directivity, in response to a transition to the transmission-during-power-off mode in which the transmitting section performs data transmission after a power-off operation of the power operating section. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A mobile device having a transmitting section that transmits data, the device comprising:
-
a power operating section that performs power-on/off operations; and a power supply control section that supplies power to each section of the mobile device, including the transmitting section, which are activated when power is supplied, in response to a power-on operation by the power operating section, and cuts off supply of power to each section in response to a power-off operation by the power operating section, wherein when data is being transmitted by the transmitting section, the power supply control section causes the transmitting section to continue data transmission by continuously supplying power even when a power-off operation is received from the power operating section, and cuts off the power supply to the transmitting section upon completion of data transmission by the transmitting section, further comprising a lens unit having an image taking optical system and an image pickup device to generate image data, and a main body unit, to which the lens unit is detachably mounted, that receives image data from the lens unit to perform image processing, wherein the power operating section interprets a detachment of the lens unit from the main body unit as a power-off operation, wherein the transmitting section suspends data transmission in response to a mounting of the lens unit when performing data transmission in a state in which the lens unit is detached from the main body unit.
