Abstract

Disclosed is a power supply control apparatus including plural processing units, a mobile body detection unit, a determination unit, a transition unit, a mobile body confirmation unit, and a controller that controls the transition unit such that states of all of the processing units transit to the powered-off state when a result of confirmation in the mobile body confirmation unit represents absence and controls the transition unit such that the states of the plural processing units selectively and individually transit to the powered-off state when a result of confirmation in the mobile body confirmation unit represents presence.
