Information processing apparatus for managing power-off states

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer that controls an apparatus for which a first power-off state, which accompanies a reset of hardware and a restart of a program, and a second power-off state, which does not accompany the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, are defined as states of a power supply of the apparatus to execute a process comprising:

• recording, if an operation for turning off the apparatus is performed and the power supply enters the second power-off state, a change in a state of the power supply to the second power-off state, and
• in response to the change in the state of the power supply to the second power-off state having already been recorded at the time of supply of power to the apparatus being completely stopped, changing the state of the power supply to the second power-off state upon power being again supplied to the apparatus, wherein
• the first power-off state is a state in which transitioning from the first power-off state requires the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, the second power-off state is a state in which transitioning from the second power-off state does not require the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, and only some of the hardware of the apparatus receives power in the second power-off state.

A method used by an apparatus for which a first power-off state, which accompanies a reset of hardware and a restart of a program, and a second power-off state, which does not accompany the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, are defined as states of a power supply of the apparatus, the method comprising:

• recording, if an operation for turning off the apparatus is performed and the power supply enters the second power-off state, a change in a state of the power supply to the second power-off state, and
• in response to the change in the state of the power supply to the second power-off state having already been recorded at the time of supply of power to the apparatus being completely stopped, changing the state of the power supply to the second power-off state upon power being again supplied to the apparatus, wherein
• the first power-off state is a state in which transitioning from the first power-off state requires the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, the second power-off state is a state in which transitioning from the second power-off state does not require the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, and only some of the hardware of the apparatus receives power in the second power-off state.
