Abstract
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer and an information processing program that is executed there, and the process is immediately executed while the power consumption is suppressed. A program that is operable even when the operating system is in its state of sleep is prepared. By supplying a power source to only the necessary components, a prescribed process is executed with that program while the operating system is kept in its state of sleep.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus being adapted to have operated therein an operating system having an ordinary state of operation and a state of sleep, comprising:
- a memory that is used when the operating system is in the ordinary state of operation;
- and
- an information processing section that, when the operating system is in the state of sleep, executes a prescribed process by using information that is stored in the memory when the operating system is in the ordinary state of operation.
An information processing apparatus being adapted to have operated therein an operating system having an ordinary state of operation and a state of sleep, comprising:
- an information communication section that communicates information;
- and
- an information processing section that, when the operating system is in the state of sleep, operates to thereby cause the information communication section to communicate information.
An information processing program storage medium being adapted to have stored therein an information processing program that is executed in an information processing apparatus having operated therein an operating system having an ordinary state of operation and a state of sleep and being equipped with a memory that, when the operating system is in the ordinary state of operation, is used,
- wherein the information processing program, when the operating system is in the state of sleep, causes the information processing apparatus to execute a prescribed process by using information that is stored in the memory when the operating system is in the ordinary state of operation.
An information processing program storage medium, being adapted to have stored therein an information processing program that is executed in an information processing apparatus having operated therein an operating system having an ordinary state of operation and a state of sleep and being equipped with a memory that, when the operating system is in the ordinary state of operation, is used,
- wherein the information processing apparatus has an information communication section that communicates information, and the information processing program, when the operating system is in the state of sleep, operates to thereby cause the information communication section to communicate information.
