Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first controller which is in an active state regardless of whether a state of a computer system is the active state or an idle state and a second controller which is in the active state in a case where the state of the computer system is the active state, a first low power consumption mode or a second low power consumption mode and is in the idle state in a case where the state of the computer system is a third low power consumption mode are provided. The first controller freely counts a time of day and changes the state of the computer system to the first low power consumption mode in a case where the state of the computer system is the third low power consumption mode and the time of day reaches a predetermined transition time of day.
