<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile terminal comprising a secondary battery, and a fuel cell for charging the secondary battery wherein fuel consumption of the fuel cell can be minimized by using the fuel cell for charging the secondary battery only when it is presumed that charging is necessary based on the usual action pattern of a user. <P>SOLUTION: A mobile terminal including a secondary battery, and a fuel cell for charging the secondary battery further includes a first determination means for determining whether the remaining capacity of the secondary battery is below a first predetermined level (S101), a means for storing the usual action pattern of a user, a second determination means for determining whether the current action pattern of the user is the usual action pattern (S105) when a determination is made that the remaining capacity of the secondary battery is below the first predetermined level, and a charge control means for charging the secondary battery by using the fuel cell when a determination is made that the current action pattern of the user is not the usual action pattern (S115). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
