Information processing system, information processing device, operation device, and power supply method
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing device; and
a first operation device configured for selective attachment to/detachment from the information processing device,whereinthe first operation device includesa first control circuit configured to control at least a portion of the first operation device,a first battery,a first power supply circuit configured to control power supply to the first control circuit, anda first communication circuit, wherein the first control circuit is configured to control the first communication circuit to transmit, to the information processing device, first remaining charge amount information indicating an amount of charge remaining in the first battery,the information processing device includesa second control circuit configured to control at least a portion of the information processing device,a second battery, anda second power supply circuit configured to control power supply to the second control circuit,wherein the second power supply circuit is configured to supply power from the second battery to the first operation device based on the amount of remaining charge indicated by the first remaining charge amount information transmitted from the first operation device satisfying a condition, andwherein the first power supply circuit is configured to, based on power being supplied from the information processing device to the first operation device, supply the power supplied from the information processing device, but not power from the first battery, to the first control circuit.

Abstract
An example information processing system includes a main device, and an operation device attachable to the main device. The operation device includes a first control circuit, a first battery, and a first power supply circuit. The main device includes a second control circuit, a second battery, and a second power supply circuit. The second power supply circuit supplies power from the second battery to the operation device in response to satisfaction of a condition about the amount of remaining charge indicated by the remaining charge amount information transmitted from the operation device. When power is supplied from the main device to the operation device, the first power supply circuit supplies power supplied from the main device to the first control circuit, instead of power from the first battery.
