Abstract
A device control apparatus according to an embodiment includes a monitoring unit, a first processing unit, and a second processing unit. The monitoring unit monitors a state of voltage supply from a battery. When the start of the voltage supply is detected, the first processing unit starts the voltage supply to some devices, operates in a first operation mode, and executes a resume process of the devices. When the resume process is completed, the second processing unit starts the voltage supply to devices other than some devices, initializes states of the devices, and operates in a second operation mode in which consumption power is larger than consumption power of the first operation mode.
