Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a power supply, a port and a circuit. The port is configured to connect with an external device. The circuit is configured to control the power supply to supply a first voltage to the external device connected with the port if a system status of the electronic device is not a power-saving status, and to supply a second voltage different from the first voltage to the external device if the system status of the electronic device is the power-saving status.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a control module determines whether a second authentication key is present in a authentication key storage device when an information processing apparatus is powered on. The control module displays an identification code input screen for inputting an identification code if the second authentication key is not present, causes a storage device to execute an identification code authentication process of determining whether the identification code which is input to the identification code input screen agrees with the first identification code, and generates a third authentication key and stores the third authentication key in the authentication key storage device if the identification code authentication process is successfully carried out.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus including a suspension/resume function includes a bus controller which controls a bus capable of transmitting data at a first transmission speed or a second transmission speed lower than the first transmission speed, a storage module which stores setting information for limiting a data transmission speed of the bus to the second transmission speed, an initializing module which initializes the bus controller so as to limit the data transmission speed of the bus to the second transmission speed if the setting information is stored in the storage module when the apparatus is activated or returned from a suspended state, and a controller which stores the setting information into the storage module and makes the apparatus transit to the suspended state and return from the suspended state, when the transmission speed of the bus is limited to the second transmission speed.
