According to one embodiment, a system includes a first device and a second device. The first device serves as an electric power supplying side. The second device serves as an electric power receiving side. The first device includes a transmitter that transmits status information to the second device. The status information indicates a state of an electric power source of the first device. The second device includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver receives the status information from the first device. The controller controls charging of a battery included in the second device using an electric power supplied from the first device, based on the state of the electric power source of the first device indicated by the status information.

System, electronic device, and charge controlling method

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a power delivery controller and an embedded controller. The power delivery controller supplies a first signal to the embedded controller when reception of a power from an external device is started, and supplies a second signal to the embedded controller when a first value of the power from the external device is changed. The embedded controller acquires first data from the power delivery controller when the first signal is supplied in an activation time, acquires a second value of the power to be received from the external device from a power circuit, and acquires second data from the power delivery controller when the first value indicated by the first data is different from the second value.

Electronic device and charging control method

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes: a first interface and a second interface, each interface being connected with outside of the electronic device to supply power to a connection destination or receive power from a connection destination; a storage configured to store therein first identification information; a transmitter configured to transmit first information containing the first identification information to a first device when the first interface serves as a source to supply power, the first device being the connection destination of the first interface; a receiver configured to receive second information containing second identification information of a second device from the second device when the second interface serves as a sink to receive power, the second device being the connection destination of the second interface; and a controller configured to stop reception of power via the second interface when the second information contains the first identification information.
