Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a host system configured to execute processing of an application program and is capable of determining one of N levels of power modes with different operating power as a power mode of the information processing apparatus depending on a program to be executed, the N being an integer greater than or equal to 2. The host system is configured to: refer to a list indicating at least an application program for each power mode, determine a power mode corresponding to an application program that runs in a foreground, and when a process of a priority application, is executed, prioritize a power mode for the priority application, the priority application is a predetermined specific application program,.

An information processing apparatus comprising a host system configured to execute processing of an application program and is capable of determining one of N levels of power modes with different operating power as a power mode of the information processing apparatus depending on an application program to be executed, the N being an integer greater than or equal to 2, wherein
- the host system is configured to:
- refer to a list indicating at least an application program for each power mode;
- determine a power mode corresponding to an application program that runs in a foreground;
- and
- when a process of a priority application is executed, prioritize a power mode for the priority application, the priority application being a predetermined specific application program.
A control method of an information processing apparatus that includes a host system configured to execute processing of an application program and is capable of determining one of N levels of power modes with different operating power as a power mode of the information processing apparatus depending on an application program to be executed, the N being an integer greater than or equal to 2,
- the control method comprising:
- referring to a list indicating at least an application program for each power mode;
- determining a power mode corresponding to an application program that runs in a foreground;
- and
- when a process of a priority application is executed, prioritizing a power mode for the priority application, the priority application being a predetermined specific application program.
An information processing apparatus comprising a host system configured to execute processing of an application program and is capable of determining one of N+M-1 levels of power modes with different operating power as a power mode of the information processing apparatus depending on an application program to be executed, each of the N and the M being an integer greater than or equal to 2, wherein
- the host system is configured to:
- display, at a display, a configuration screen indicating the M levels of the power modes among the N+M-1 levels of the power modes;
- refer to a list indicating application programs configured for each of the N-1 levels of the power modes among the N+M-1 levels of the power modes when one specific level of a power mode is determined in response to a user operation among the M levels of the power modes;
- determine a power mode corresponding to an application program that runs in a foreground, among the N-1 levels of the power modes and the one specific level of the power mode, as a power mode of the information processing apparatus;
- when a process of a priority application is executed, prioritize a power mode for the priority application, the priority application being a predetermined specific application program;
- and
- determine the power mode as the power mode of the information processing apparatus when another power mode, different from the one specific level of the power mode, is determined in response to an user operation among the M levels of the power modes.
