Abstract
A terminal device provided with an acquisition section for acquiring information on a network, a display section for displaying the information, and a control section for controlling to stop or suppress operation of a hardware section excluding at least the acquisition section. The operation of the hardware section can be stopped or suppressed while information is being acquired from the network, whereby power consumption can be suppressed by the amount of the operation stop or the operation suppression, and the battery life can be extended. Accordingly, an appropriate and suitable transition to a power-saving state can be made in accordance with a usage situation regardless of power-saving transition time, whereby unnecessary power consumption can be suppressed.
