Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: cause the information processing apparatus to make transition from a first mode to a second mode with less energy consumption than the first mode when a non-detection period in which presence of a user is not detected around the information processing apparatus has reached a preset threshold period; and continue to measure the non-detection period when the presence of the user is detected and a preset condition is satisfied while the non-detection period is being measured before reaching the threshold period.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- cause the information processing apparatus to make transition from a first mode to a second mode with less energy consumption than the first mode when a non-detection period has reached a preset threshold period;
- and
- determine whether the non-detection period has reached the preset threshold period by:
- upon the information processing apparatus being transitioned to the first mode, starting measurement of the non-detection period;
- after starting the measurement of the non-detection period, detecting presence of a user around the information processing apparatus;
- in response to detecting the presence of the user, determining whether a user operation is input to the information processing apparatus;
- and
- upon determining that the user operation is not input, continuing the measurement of the non-detection period without cancelling or resetting the measurement of the non-detection period,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- store the non-detection period under measurement in response to detection of the presence of the user around the information processing apparatus during the measurement of the non-detection period;
- and
- resume the measurement using the stored non-detection period when no user operation is input and the presence of the user is not detected around the information processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:
- causing an apparatus including the computer to make transition from a first mode to a second mode with less energy consumption than the first mode when a non-detection period has reached a preset threshold period;
- and
- determining whether the non-detection period has reached the preset threshold period by:
- upon the information processing apparatus being transitioned to the first mode, starting measurement of the non-detection period;
- after starting the measurement of the non-detection period, detecting presence of a user around the information processing apparatus;
- in response to detecting the presence of the user, determining whether a user operation is or is not input to the information processing apparatus;
- and
- upon determining that the user operation is not input, continuing the measurement of the non-detection period without cancelling or resetting the measurement of the non-detection period,
- wherein the process further comprises:
- storing the non-detection period under measurement in response to detection of the presence of the user around the information processing apparatus during the measurement of the non-detection period;
- and
- resuming the measurement using the stored non-detection period when no user operation is input and the presence of the user is not detected around the information processing apparatus.

- and
- upon determining that the user operation is not input, continuing the measurement of the non-detection period without cancelling or resetting the measurement of the non-detection period,
- wherein the method further comprises:
- storing the non-detection period under measurement in response to detection of the presence of the user around the information processing apparatus during the measurement of the non-detection period;
- and
- resuming the measurement using the stored non-detection period when no user operation is input and the presence of the user is not detected around the information processing apparatus.
