Abstract
Abstract A recording or reproducing apparatus has a motor for use in relative displacement of a recording medium and a head at high speed and a booster circuit for supplying power to the internal circuit. The apparatus also includes control means which control actuation of the booster circuit after the motor is supplied with a relatively large current, if a first power supply capable of discharging a relatively large current is used. The control means causes a relatively small current to be supplied to the motor after the booster circuit is actuated if a second power supply capable of discharging only a relatively small current is used.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A recording/reproducing apparatus comprising: a motor driving relative displacement at high speed of at least one of a recording medium and a head; a first power supply capable of discharging a first current; a second power supply capable of discharging a second current less than the first current; internal circuitry including image pickup elements; a booster circuit supplying power to the internal circuitry; and control means actuating said booster circuit after said motor is supplied with the first current from said first power supply and controlling said second power supply to supply the second current to said motor after said booster circuit is actuated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A recording/reproducing apparatus comprising: a motor driving relative displacement at high speed of at least one of a recording medium and a head; a first power supply capable of discharging a first current; a second power supply capable of discharging a second current less than the first current; internal circuitry including image pickup elements; a booster circuit supplying power to the internal circuitry; and control means actuating said booster circuit after said motor is supplied with the first current from said first power supply and controlling said second power supply to supply the second current to said motor after said booster circuit is actuated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first power supply includes a battery.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first power supply includes an AC/DC converter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
97 words
A motor control apparatus capable of selectively using a first power supply which can discharge a first electric current and a second power supply which can discharge a second electric current, said apparatus comprising: a motor; a booster circuit for driving internal circuitry other than said motor; and control means for controlling said motor so that said booster circuit is actuated after the first electric current is supplied to said motor by the first power supply, and the second electric current is supplied by the second power supply to said motor after said booster circuit is actuated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
97 words
A motor control apparatus capable of selectively using a first power supply which can discharge a first electric current and a second power supply which can discharge a second electric current, said apparatus comprising: a motor; a booster circuit for driving internal circuitry other than said motor; and control means for controlling said motor so that said booster circuit is actuated after the first electric current is supplied to said motor by the first power supply, and the second electric current is supplied by the second power supply to said motor after said booster circuit is actuated.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
An apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising a recording/reproducing device which records and reproduces a signal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said motor is used to result in relative movement of a head and a recording medium.
