Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first controller that performs a process dependent on hardware having a function, a second controller that performs a process independent of the hardware, and a power controller that, if there is a reason to resume supply of power to the second controller when supply of power to the first and second controllers has been restricted or stopped, activates both the first and second controllers or only the second controller depending on the reason.
