Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprises a first timer that times a first time; a second timer that times a second time which is different from the first time; and a switching unit that switches, in accordance with a user, between a first power saving control mode in which shift is made to the power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the first time, and a second power saving control mode in which shift is made to the power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the second time timed by the second timer.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first timer that times a first time;
- a second timer that times a second time which is different from the first time;
- and
- a switching unit that switches, in accordance with a user, between a first power saving control mode in which shift is made to the power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the first time, and a second power saving control mode in which shift is made to the power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the second time timed by the second timer.
1 more element
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first timer for timing a first time;
- a second timer for timing a second time which is different from the first time;
- and
- a switching unit that switches, in accordance with the user, between a first auto-clear control mode which initializes settings which are set through operations by the user if no operation is performed for a period of the first time, and a second auto-clear control mode which initializes the settings which are set through operations by the user if no operation is performed for a period of the second time timed by the second timer.
1 more element
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus having a first timer that times a first time and makes shift to a power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the first time timed by the first timer;
- and
- a voice guiding apparatus that is connected to the information processing apparatus and performs a voice guide for the information processing apparatus, wherein
- the voice guiding apparatus comprises:
- a second timer that times a second time which is different from the first time;
- a power saving mode controller that shifts the information processing apparatus to the power saving mode if no operation is performed for a period of the second time timed by the second timer in a state in which the voice guiding apparatus is connected to the information processing apparatus;
- and
- a voice guiding unit that guides by voice that a remaining time of the second timer becomes a predetermined period of time or less.
5 more elements
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus which makes shift to a power saving mode if no operation is performed for a predetermined period of time;
- a voice guiding apparatus that is connected to the information processing apparatus and performs voice guide for the information processing apparatus;
- a connection detecting unit that detects a connection between the information processing apparatus and the voice guiding apparatus;
- and
- a cancellation unit that automatically cancels a power saving mode when a connection between the information processing apparatus and the voice guiding apparatus is detected by the connection detecting unit in a state in which the information processing apparatus is in the power saving mode.
2 more elements
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus that makes shift to a power saving mode if no operation is performed for a predetermined period of time;
- a voice guiding apparatus that is connected to the information processing apparatus and performs voice guide for the information processing apparatus;
- a connection detecting unit that detects a connection between the information processing apparatus and the voice guiding apparatus;
- a communication unit that makes a communication between the information processing apparatus and the voice guiding apparatus;
- and
- a cancellation unit that automatically cancels a power saving mode when a connection with the voice guiding apparatus is detected by the connection detecting unit and when a communication is established between the information processing apparatus and the voice guiding apparatus by the communication unit in a state in which the information processing apparatus is in the power saving mode.
3 more elements
An information processing system comprising:
