Abstract
An information processing apparatus according to the present invention is operated by at least switching between a first power state and a second power state in which its power consumption is less than that of the first power state. In a case where an event detected during a period from start to end of processing of making transition from the first power state to the second power state is a communication establishment event, the information processing apparatus causes a communication unit to transmit to a communication partner a notification for maintaining connection of communication in the second power state.
Claims15
An information processing apparatus which is operated by at least switching between a first power state and a second power state whose power consumption is less than the first power state, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with an outside even in the second power state;
- a detection unit configured to detect an occurrence of a first event during a period from start to end of processing of making transition from the first power state to the second power state;
- and
- in a case where the first event detected by the detection unit is a communication establishment event, a control unit configured to cause the communication unit to transmit to a partner of the communication a notification for maintaining connection of the communication in the second power state.
A control method of an information processing apparatus which is operated by at least switching between a first power state and a second power state whose power consumption is less than the first power state and which includes a communication unit that can communicate with an outside even in the second power state, the control method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an occurrence of a first event during a period from start to end of processing of making transition from the first power state to the second power state;
- and
- in a case where the first event detected in the detecting step is a communication establishment event, controlling to cause the communication unit to transmit to a partner of the communication a notification for maintaining connection of the communication in the second power state.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method of an information processing apparatus which is operated by at least switching between a first power state and a second power state whose power consumption is less than the first power state and which includes a communication unit that can communicate with an outside even in the second power state,
- where the method comprises the steps of:
- detecting an occurrence of a first event during a period from start to end of processing of making transition from the first power state to the second power state;
- and
- in a case where the first event detected in the detecting step is a communication establishment event, controlling to cause the communication unit to transmit to a partner of the communication a notification for maintaining connection of the communication in the second power state.
