Abstract

An electronic device includes a plurality of blocks, a plurality of movable members, a plurality of operation detecting circuits, a plurality of state determining circuits, an electric power control circuit, and a control circuit. The movable members are located in the respective plurality of blocks and operated when the states of the plurality of block are changed. The control circuit that has an electric power mode: causing the electric power control circuit to supply the electric power to the plurality of operation detecting circuits and to cut off the supply of the electric power to the respective state determining circuits; and causing the electric power control circuit to supply the electric power to the state determining circuit corresponding to the movable member where the operation is detected in addition to the plurality of operation detecting circuits when an operation to the movable member is detected by the operation detecting circuit.
