Abstract

An information processing apparatus that shortens the waiting time that a user feels when restoration from a hibernation state is performed, a method for controlling the same, and a recording medium are provided. To accomplish this, when restoration from a power saving state (hibernation state) is performed, the information processing apparatus of the present invention restores only an operating system (OS) to a state of an execution in a main storage memory (RAM), and thereafter restores processes in the OS to a state of an execution. Further, the OS sequentially transfers images of the processes to the RAM from a non-volatile storage apparatus, and resumes execution of the processes from a process for which transfer is complete.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a first storage unit in which an operating system that executes first and second processes and first and second execution programs of the first and second processes are loaded;
a second storage unit that, in a case where the information processing apparatus shifts into a power saving state in which power is not supplied to a device included in the information processing apparatus, stores execution status info…
