Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment, a method controls an apparatus including a sensor which detects an open/close state of a cover, and an power manager which performs power management of the apparatus in accordance with a ordinary state and a power-saving state. The method includes notifying turning on the apparatus in order to change the apparatus to the ordinary state, if the power manager is notified a second notifying and the sensor detects that the cover is opened, and performing an power management corresponding to the power-saving state, if the power manager is notified a first notifying, or if the power manager is notified the second notifying and the sensor detects that the cover is closed.
