INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an antenna having a variable Q value, the antenna being used for performing communication with an external apparatus in a noncontact manner by using a carrier of a predetermined frequency and charging a battery in a noncontact manner by using the carrier;
an obtaining unit configured to obtain information about charging of the battery;
a determining unit configured to determine whether charging of the battery is to be performed or not on the basis of the information obtained by the obtaining unit; and
a setting unit configured to selectively set the Q value of the antenna to a first value or a second value in accordance with a determination result generated by the determining unit, the second value being larger than the first value.

14. A program causing a computer to execute:
-
obtaining information about charging of a battery via an antenna having a variable Q value and/or internally, the antenna being used for performing communication with an external apparatus in a noncontact manner by using a carrier of a predetermined frequency and charging the battery in a noncontact manner by using the carrier; determining whether charging of the battery is to be performed or not on the basis of the obtained information about charging of the battery; and selectively setting the Q value of the antenna to a first value or a second value in accordance with a result of the determining, the second value being larger than the first value.

15. An information processing system comprising:
-
an information processing apparatus; and a charging apparatus, the information processing apparatus including a battery, a first antenna having a variable Q value, the first antenna being used for performing communication with the charging apparatus in a noncontact manner by using a carrier of a predetermined frequency and charging the battery in a noncontact manner by using the carrier, a first obtaining unit configured to obtain first information about charging of the battery, a first determining unit configured to determine whether charging of the battery is to be performed or not on the basis of the first information obtained by the first obtaining unit, and a first setting unit configured to selectively set the Q value of the first antenna to a first value or a second value in accordance with a determination result generated by the first determining unit, the second value being larger than the first value, the charging apparatus including a second antenna having a variable Q value, the second antenna being used for performing communication with the information processing apparatus in a noncontact manner by using the carrier and charging the battery in a noncontact manner by using the carrier, a second obtaining unit configured to obtain second information about charging of the battery, a second determining unit configured to determine whether charging of the battery is to be performed or not on the basis of the second information obtained by the second obtaining unit, and a second setting unit configured to selectively set the Q value of the second antenna to a third value or a fourth value in accordance with a determination result generated by the second determining unit, the fourth value being larger than the third value.
