Abstract: A power-supply control device includes a power-supply-state transition control section, body-capable-of-movement detection sections, a time measuring section, a transition-instruction section, and an instruction-provision-time postponement section. The power-supply-state transition control section shifts a state of an operation target section from one state to another state among power-supply states and a non-power-supply state. The body-capable-of-movement detection sections detect a body capable of movement in a region. The time measuring section measures a time over which the operation target section in one of the power-supply states is not used. The transition-instruction section provides, for the power-supply-state transition control section, an instruction for shifting to the non-power-supply state. The instruction-provision-time postponement section postpones an instruction-provision time at which the instruction is provided by the transition-instruction section.

Abstract: A power-supply monitoring device includes a power-supply control section, a detection section, a determination section, a control section, and an attachment section. The power-supply control section receives supply of power from a mains power source section, and selectively sets a power supply mode and a power saving mode. The detection section detects, in a predetermined region, a body capable of movement including a user who intends to use a processing section. When the body capable of movement is detected, the determination section determines whether switching from the power saving mode to the power supply mode is to be performed to obtain a result. The control section controls the power-supply control section on the basis of the result. The attachment section is attached to the detection section so that a detection region including a position or having an area for identifying the user is adjustable.
