  • Publication number: 20060176500
    Abstract: An information processing device which judges that there is a possibility that the device is being left standing depending on the nature of a processing operation while this processing operation is being performed and places an operating lock on the device. The operating lock is placed on the device (step S11d) in cases where a specified time has elapsed with upper and lower housings in a closed state (“elapsed” in step S11b), or in cases where a specified time has elapsed with the device waiting for an operation by a user (“elapsed” in step S11i), and in cases where a processing that is in progress in the device is the processing that is started without any operation performed by the user and that is waiting for an operation by the user, and/or a processing that has a low priority (“only this processing is in progress” in step S11c).
