Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit that receives a communication packet;
• a determination unit that determines whether the communication packet received by the communication unit in a second power mode of a first power mode and the second power mode meets at least one of a plurality of determination conditions included in determination condition information, the second power mode being lower in electric power consumption than the first power mode;
• a power mode setting unit that switches a power mode from the second power mode to the first power mode on a basis of a result of determination performed by the determination unit;
• a setting unit that sets a first communication protocol to be enabled or disabled, the first communication protocol being supported by the communication unit;
• and
• a registration unit that excludes, in a case where the first communication protocol is set to be disabled, a first determination condition for the communication packet communicated by the first communication protocol from the plurality of determination conditions, and thereby registers the plurality of determination conditions in the determination condition information.
