Portable terminal having controller for judging remaining capacity of a battery and for controlling the supply of power in response to a drive request and method related to same
 When a judgment request is output, a judging means outputs a remaining battery capacity calculation request F, in response to which a remaining capacity calculating means outputs a request for detection of the voltage, which is required to calculate the remaining battery capacity. In response to this voltage detection request, a voltage detection means detects the voltage of a power supply, and output the result of this voltage detection. In response to this voltage detection result, the remaining battery capacity calculating means calculates the remaining battery capacity, and outputs the results of this calculation, in response to which a judging means judges whether or not there is sufficient power supply capacity remaining for operation with respect to a startup request, and outputs a judgment result. If this judgment result was that execution is possible, an execution means executes the requested operation.
