Abstract
An information processing apparatus, having a hibernation state, includes a hibernation controller that stores information required to resume the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to an arbitrary operational state when the information processing apparatus is shifted from the arbitrary operational state to the hibernation state and that turns off the information processing apparatus; a determiner determining whether the information processing apparatus is started up from the hibernation state when the information processing apparatus is turned on after the information processing apparatus is turned off by the hibernation controller; and a resume controller returning the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to the arbitrary operational state based on the required information when the determiner determines that the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state.
