Abstract
Disclosed is a technology of executing a resume mode of an information processing system and an imaging process of a subject when given an imaging indication from an imaging device even if the information processing system, to which the imaging device such as a digital camera etc is connected, is in a suspend mode. The information processing system (1) incorporates a shift function to the suspend mode and a restore function to the normal operation mode from the suspend mode, and interlocks with an imaging device. This system comprises a control unit (2, 3) for controlling the shift function and the restore function, a signal receiving unit (4) for receiving an imaging indication signal from said imaging device, and an imaging indication signal detection unit (9, 16) for starting the restore function when receiving the imaging indication signal in the suspend mode.
