Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprising a first communication device configured to receive an external signal, a second communication device configured to receive an external signal different from the external signal received by the first communication device, power supply part which selectively supplies power to one of the first communication device and the second communication device in a power-supply-off state, and a part which activates the information processing apparatus based on the signal received by one of the first communication device and the second communication device to which power is supplied from the part which activates the information processing apparatus.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first communication device configured to receive an external signal;
- a second communication device configured to receive an external signal different from the external signal received by the first communication device;
- means for supplying power to one of the first communication device and the second communication device in a power-supply-off state;
- and
- means for activating the information processing apparatus based on the signal received by one of the first communication device and the second communication device to which power is supplied from the means for activating the information processing apparatus.
A power supply control method of an information processing apparatus comprising a first communication device configured to receive an external signal and a second communication device configured to receive an external signal different from the external signal received by the first communication device, the method comprising:
- selectively supplying power to one of the first communication device and the second communication device in a power-supply-off state of the information processing apparatus;
- and
- activating the information processing apparatus based on the signal received by way of one of the first communication device and the second communication device to which power is selectively supplied.
A power supply control method of an information processing apparatus comprising a first communication device configured to receive an external signal and a second communication device configured to receive an external signal different from the external signal received by the first communication device, at least one of the communication devices being removably fitted to the information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- selectively supplying power to one of the first communication device and the second communication device in a power-supply-off state of the information processing apparatus;
- activating the information processing apparatus based on the signal received by way of one of the first communication device and the second communication device to which power is selectively supplied;
- stopping the power supply to one of the first communication device and the second communication device to which power is supplied at detection of the removal thereof from the information processing apparatus;
- starting supplying power to one of the second communication device and the first communication device to which power has not been supplied in place of the communication device whose power supply ahs been stopped;
- and
- restarting supplying power to the fitted communication device and stopping the power supply to the communication device to which power has been supplied, when the removed device is refitted to the information processing apparatus.
