INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106953 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus with two power-off states, one accompanying a hardware reset and program restart, and the other not. The processor is configured to record and change the power supply state to the second power-off state under certain conditions.

  • The information processing apparatus has a processor.
  • Two power-off states are defined for the power supply.
  • The processor records and changes the power supply state to the second power-off state under specific conditions.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Computer systems
  • Servers
  • Embedded systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficient power management
  • Preventing unnecessary hardware resets
  • Reducing downtime during power-off operations

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved system reliability
  • Faster power-off operations
  • Enhanced user experience

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in:

  • Data centers
  • Industrial automation
  • Consumer electronics

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Power management systems in computer hardware.

=== What are the specific conditions under which the processor changes the power supply state to the second power-off state? The specific conditions are not detailed in the abstract.

=== How does the processor differentiate between the first and second power-off states? The method of differentiation between the two power-off states is not explained in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

an information processing apparatus includes a processor. a first power-off state, which accompanies a reset of hardware and a restart of a program, and a second power-off state, which does not accompany the reset of the hardware and the restart of the program, are defined as states of a power supply of the information processing apparatus. the processor is configured to record, if an operation for turning off the information processing apparatus is performed and the power supply enters the second power-off state, a change in a state of the power supply to the second power-off state, and change the state of the power supply to the second power-off state if a change in the state of the power supply to the second power-off state is recorded after supply of power to the information processing apparatus is stopped and power is again supplied to the information processing apparatus.
