Mobile information terminal
First Claim
1. A mobile information terminal comprising:
- a power control unit to supply driving power;
a storage unit to store data in the state where the driving power is not supplied from said power control unit;
a detecting unit to detect an occurrence of an emergency; and
a control unit which is driven as the driving power is supplied from said power control unit, said control unit including;
a mode information storage unit to store mode information indicating an emergency mode in said storage unit in response to detection of the occurrence of the emergency by said detecting unit,an emergency processing executing unit to execute predetermined processing in response to detection of the occurrence of the emergency by said detecting unit, anda startup-time processing unit to execute said predetermined processing when said control unit is activated as the supply of the driving power from said power control unit is started and in the case where said mode information indicating the emergency mode is stored in said storage unitwherein said power control unit comprisesa voltage detecting unit to detect a voltage of a power source, andan emergency activation unit to start supply of the driving power to said control unit in response to said detected voltage exceeding a predetermined threshold value and said mode information indicating the emergency mode is stored in said storage unit.

Abstract
To carry out processing to be executed upon occurrence of an emergency, a mobile phone includes a power control portion for supplying driving power, a RAM capable of storing data in the state where the driving power is not supplied from the power control portion, a crime prevention switch for detecting occurrence of an emergency, and a control portion which is driven by the driving power supplied from the power control portion. The control portion stores an emergency flag in an ON state indicating an emergency mode in the RAM in response to detection of the emergency by the crime prevention switch, and carries out emergency processing. When the control portion is activated as the supply of the driving power from the power control portion is started, it carries out the emergency processing if the emergency flag in the ON state is stored in the RAM.
