Abstract
According to one embodiment, a receiving unit is configured to receive a notification of an application for operation permission based on an operation input from a first device, and a transmitting unit is configured to make a power saving command for a second device based on the application for operation permission, to transmit a notification of an operation start permission to the first device after receiving a response of a power saving operation start from the second device, and to make a notification of an operation restart permission for the second device if a certain period has elapsed after receiving a notification indicating that an operation has been ended from the first device.
Claims12
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a notification of an application for operation permission based on an operation input from a first device;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured
- to make a power saving command for a second device and, after receiving a response of a power saving operation start from the second device,
- to transmit a notification of an operation start permission to the first device, if the notification of the application for operation permission is received, and
- to make a notification of an operation restart permission for the second device if a certain period has elapsed after receiving a notification indicating that an operation has been ended from the first device.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a setting unit configured to transmit a notification of an application for operation permission to a controller based on an operation input, and to set a standby state;
- a starting unit configured to start an operation if a notification of an operation start permission is received during a period of the standby state;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit a notification of an operation end to the controller if a certain period has elapsed after the operation started based on the notification of the operation start permission has been ended.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a unit configured to transmit a notification of an application for operation permission to a controller based on an operation input, and to set a standby state;
- a starting unit configured to start an operation according to a certain period elapsing in the standby state;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit a notification of an operation end to the controller if the certain period has elapsed after an end of the started operation,
- wherein the certain period is a period from a time when the controller makes a power saving command for other device based on the notification of the application for operation permission until a time when the other device shifts to a power saving mode.
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus,
- the apparatus comprising a signal transmitting/receiving unit and a control unit, and being configured to:
- receive a notification of an application for operation permission based on an operation input from a first device;
- make a power saving command for a second device and, after receiving a response of a power saving operation start from the second device, transmit a notification of an operation start permission to the first device, if the notification of the application for operation permission is received;
- and,
- transmit a notification of an operation restart permission for the second device if a certain period has elapsed after receiving a notification indicating that an operation has been ended from the first device.
A control program of an electronic apparatus comprising a signal transmitting/receiving unit and a control unit, the program comprising:
- a command to cause the signal transmitting/receiving unit to receive a notification of an application for operation permission based on an operation input from a first device;
- a command to cause the control unit to make a power saving command for a second device and, after receiving a response of a power saving operation start from the second device, transmit a notification of an operation start permission to the first device, if the notification of the application for operation permission is received;
- and,
- a command to transmit a notification of an operation restart permission for the second device if a certain period has elapsed after receiving a notification indicating that an operation has been ended from the first device.
