ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an information processor capable of supplying power to an external device includes a connector, a storage module, a receiver, a selector, and a power supply controller. The connector connects the external device to the information processor. The storage module stores identification information that identifies the external device and a power supply mode in association with each other. The power supply mode defines a condition of each element of the information processor to cause the external device to be chargeable. The receiver receives the identification information from the external device connected to the information processor. The selector selects the power supply mode stored in the storage module in association with the identification information. The power supply controller sets the element of the information processor according to the condition defined by the power supply mode.
