INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148599 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information processing apparatus that can connect to an external device. When the apparatus is powered on, it initializes the external device, but when it is in a power-saving state, it does not perform this initialization.

  • The information processing apparatus can connect to an external device.
  • When the apparatus is powered on, it initializes the external device.
  • When the apparatus is in a power-saving state, it does not initialize the external device.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various electronic devices that require initialization of external devices, such as computers, smartphones, or gaming consoles.
  • It can be particularly useful in situations where the external device needs to be initialized only during the power-on process and not during power-saving modes.

Problems Solved

  • Previously, when an information processing apparatus was returned from a power-saving state, it would unnecessarily execute the initialization process for the external device, leading to wasted time and resources.
  • This technology solves the problem by selectively executing the initialization process only when the apparatus is powered on, saving time and resources during power-saving modes.

Benefits

  • By avoiding unnecessary initialization of the external device during power-saving modes, the information processing apparatus can conserve energy and extend battery life.
  • It improves the overall efficiency and performance of the apparatus by eliminating unnecessary processes during power-saving modes.
  • This technology simplifies the user experience by automatically handling the initialization process when the apparatus is powered on, without requiring manual intervention.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus to which an external device is attachable includes an initialization unit configured to, when the information processing apparatus is activated from a power-off state, execute initialization of the external device, and not to, when the information processing apparatus is returned from a power-saving state, execute the initialization of the external device.
