An information processing apparatus includes a sensor unit that senses a person within a first distance from the information processing apparatus and a second distance set to be closer to the information processing apparatus than the first distance, and a shifting unit that sets the information processing apparatus to a first mode when the person is sensed within the first distance by the sensor unit, and shifts the information processing apparatus from the first mode to a second mode that consumes power less than in the first mode after the predetermined time has elapsed, the predetermined time being a time starting once the person is no longer sensed within the second distance by the sensor unit.

Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium having shifting modes based upon sensed distance

An information processing apparatus includes a first sensor unit that senses a person within a first distance from the information processing apparatus, a second sensor unit that senses a person within a second distance set closer to the information processing apparatus than the first distance, a shifting unit that sets the information processing apparatus to a first mode when a person is sensed by the first sensor unit, and shifts the information processing apparatus from the first mode to a second mode that consumes power less than in the first mode when the person is no longer sensed within the second distance by the second sensor unit, a receiving unit that receives an instruction to modify the first distance or the second distance, and a modifying unit that modifies the first distance or the second distance in response to the instruction received by the receiving unit.

System and method for performing power state transitions by utilizing a group of sensors each with a corresponding sensing distance to sense presence of a person

An information processing apparatus includes a sensor unit that senses a person within a first distance from the information processing apparatus and a second distance set to be closer to the information processing apparatus than the first distance, and a shifting unit that sets the information processing apparatus to a first mode when the person is sensed by the sensor unit, and shifts the information processing apparatus from the first mode to a second mode that consumes power less than in the first mode when the person is no longer sensed within the second distance by the sensor unit.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling an image forming apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a sensor unit that, in accordance with an image captured at a first distance from the information processing apparatus, senses a presence of a person within a second distance set to be closer to the information processing apparatus than the first distance, and a shifting unit that sets the information processing apparatus to a first mode when the presence of the person is sensed by the sensor unit, and shifts the information processing apparatus from the first mode to a second mode that consumes power less than in the first mode when the presence of the person is no longer sensed within the second distance by the sensor unit.
