  • Patent number: 10986242
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes plural detectors and a transition unit. The plural detectors detect a person and have different detection areas. The transition unit makes a transition from a power saving state to a normal state if a return condition that the person is detected by a predetermined detector among the plural detectors is satisfied, the power saving state being a state in which power lower than usual power is supplied, the normal state being a state in which the usual power is supplied. The transition unit sets, as the return condition, a condition that an intention of using the information processing apparatus by the person is detected and a detector, among the plural detectors, having a detection area wider than a detection area of the predetermined detector detects the person.
