Semiconductor device
First Claim
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- an antenna configured to receive a radio wave;
a battery;
a control circuit configured to detect a voltage output from the battery in accordance with a first signal generated by the antenna, and generate a second signal having information about a residual amount of electrical energy in the battery; and
a transmission medium configured to emit the second signal as one of an elastic wave whose frequency is outside of an audible frequency range, an ultraviolet light and an infrared light,wherein the detection of the voltage output from the battery and the generation of the second signal can be performed by using power of the first signal.

Abstract
A semiconductor device with a built-in battery whose residual amount of the electrical energy can be detected accurately. The semiconductor device has a battery, a demodulation circuit, a control circuit which generates a signal having information about the residual amount of the electrical energy stored in the battery, and a transmission medium which displays the residual amount of the electrical energy in accordance with the signal. The demodulation circuit demodulates a signal input from an antenna which requests display of the residual amount of the electrical energy. Based on the demodulated signal, the control circuit starts to generate a signal having information about the residual amount of the electrical energy in the battery.
