  • Patent number: 11681481
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller is configured to control an operation of the overall information processing apparatus. The second controller is configured to control an operation of a device. When detecting a trigger of resumption from a power saving mode, the second controller notifies the first controller of the detection of the trigger, and starts to initialize a function corresponding to the trigger.

  • Patent number: 11157063
    Abstract: A control system includes: a controller that controls a control unit of a control device, the control unit controlling multiple function units; and a restorer that is capable of receiving a first instruction for restoration from an energy-saving mode from a user who is in a proximate location near the controller, and a second instruction for the restoration from a user who is in a location further away than the proximate location, the restorer altering a timing for restoration of the control unit between a case where there the first instruction is received and a case where the second instruction is received.

  • Publication number: 20210014376
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first controller that controls an overall operation of the apparatus, and a second controller that outputs an image stored in a specific area of a storage medium to a display device if a predetermined time has elapsed from activation. The second controller generates a second image and writes the second image in the specific area. If a first image is received from the first controller after the second controller writes the second image, the second controller overwrites the second image in the specific area with the first image.

  • Publication number: 20160217845
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory that is volatile, a memory controller connected to the memory in an information exchangeable manner, and a clock enable (CKE) controller. The CKE controller controls a CKE signal in response to a request for a proxy in self-refresh control, the CKE signal being transmitted from the memory controller to the memory and being controlled to be kept low until cancellation of the proxy is requested. At a time of shifting to a power-saving mode, the memory controller stores information held by a central processing unit (CPU) in the memory and causes the memory to shift to a self-refresh mode. At a time of recovery from the power-saving mode, the memory controller requests the CKE controller for the cancellation of the proxy in the self-refresh control and thereafter cancels the self-refresh mode of the memory.
