Abstract: A wake-up control device includes a detector and a wake-up unit. When an apparatus is in a power-saving state in which power consumption is lower than power consumption in a normal state, the detector detects a hand or finger approaching an operation unit operated in order to perform a wake-up operation of changing a state of the apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state. In the case where the apparatus is in the power-saving state, if the detector detects a hand or finger approaching the operation unit, even when the operation unit has not been operated, the wake-up unit performs a wake-up operation of changing the state of the apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided with a specifying unit, an output control unit, and an event detecting unit. The specifying unit specifies an operator who inputs an output request for outputting an output object. The output control unit controls an output process in accordance with the output request. The event detecting unit detects an event having a possibility that the operator stops immediate output of the output request. Even in a case where the output control unit is instructed from the operator to perform an immediate output process of the output request when the operator is specified and where the operator is specified, the output control unit stops the immediate output process of the output request in a case where the event detecting unit detects the event.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a controller that controls the information processing apparatus by making a transition of a state of the information processing apparatus in relation to power consumption of the information processing apparatus from a first state to a second state in which the power consumption is higher than that in the first state, and a line-of-sight detector that detects a line of sight toward the information processing apparatus. The controller makes a transition from the first state to the second state when the line-of-sight detector detects a line of sight toward the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a request obtaining unit, a request memory, a timeout value obtaining unit, a determining unit, and a discarding unit. The request obtaining unit sequentially obtains requests from plural external apparatuses. The request memory stores the requests. The timeout value obtaining unit obtains timeout values, each of the timeout values indicating a time until transmission of a request from one of the plural external apparatuses is stopped. The determining unit determines, in a case where a request is obtained, whether or not the request memory has enough space for additionally storing the request. The discarding unit discards, in a case where the determining unit determines that the request memory does not have the enough space, a request that is selected in accordance with the timeout values obtained by the timeout value obtaining unit.

Abstract: A power-saving control device includes a setting unit and a mode controller. The setting unit sets a period during which an information processing apparatus in a power-saving mode in which more power is saved than a first mode is caused to perform an operation for receiving data from a communication line. The mode controller sets the information processing apparatus to a second mode in which the receiving operation is performed when a current time is within the set period, and sets the information processing apparatus to a third mode in which the receiving operation is stopped when the current time is outside the set period, in a case where the information processing apparatus is in the power-saving mode.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a network interface, a main arithmetic unit, a sub arithmetic unit, and a data switch. The main arithmetic unit is activated in response to power being supplied thereto, and performs arithmetic operation on the basis of a preset first program. The sub arithmetic unit performs arithmetic operation on the basis of a second program written by the main arithmetic unit. The data switch switches, under control of the sub arithmetic unit, a path of data communicated between the network interface and the main arithmetic unit or the sub arithmetic unit. The data switch is configured to communicate, in an initial state, the data between the network interface and the main arithmetic unit.

Abstract: A response device includes a memory, a reception unit, and a response unit. The memory stores a logical address and a physical address in a communication circuit which are assigned to an external information processing device connected to the communication circuit that is the same as a communication circuit to which the response device is connected. The reception unit receives an address request for requesting a physical address from the communication circuit. The response unit responds with the stored physical address of the information processing device in a case where a destination address of the received address request is equal to the stored logical address of the information processing device.

The first central processing unit has a normal operating state and a power-saving state in which power consumption is lower than in the normal operating state. The second central processing unit causes the first central processing unit to return to the normal operating state from the power-saving state. The returning unit causes the first central processing unit to return to the normal operating state in a case where the second central processing unit enters an anomalous state after the first central processing unit has entered the power-saving state.
