Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a system body, a body operation unit provided on the system body, and a remote operation unit configured to perform a remote operation of the system body. The information processing apparatus performs processing according to operational information obtained by the body operation unit or the remote operation unit. The information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit to detect the operation performed by the body operation unit and the remote operation performed by the remote operation unit. Power control of each device in the system body is performed according to either a second set state in which power consumption is lower than in a first set state.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus having a system body, body operation means provided on the system body, and remote operation means for use in performing a remote operation of the system body, the information processing apparatus being configured to perform processing according to operational information obtained by the body operation means or the remote operation means. The information processing apparatus includes means for distinguishing between the operation by the body operation means and the operation by the remote operation means. Power control of each device in the system body is performed according to a first set state during the operation of the body operation means. When the operation of the remote operation means is performed in a battery powered condition, power control of each device in the system body is performed according to a second set state where power consumption is lower than that in the first set state.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including an incorporated audio output section and a connector with a terminal section of an audio output device as an external device connected thereto, and a source of audio output is switched between the audio output section and the audio output device according to whether any audio output device is connected to the connector or not, and further a volume of sounds outputted from the audio output section or from the audio output device can be controlled.
