  • Publication number: 20210325958
    Abstract: A power-saving control apparatus includes a main system to perform one or more processes, including main circuitry, and a subsystem communicable with the main system, including sub-circuitry. The sub-circuitry: receives, from the main system, one or more pieces of request information regarding the one or more processes via a serial bus interface; creates and returns one or more pieces of response information corresponding to one or more pieces of predetermined request information among the received one or more pieces of request information; and when the main system is in a power-saving state, causes the main system to maintain the power-saving state in a case where the received request information is the predetermined request information. The power-saving state is a state in which power consumption is less than power consumption in a normal state in which the main system is ready to perform the one or more processes.
