Abstract
An electronic device has a normal mode, a weak power-saving mode, a strong power-saving mode, and a power-saving temporary mode. The power-saving temporary mode is temporarily switched every time a specific timing arrives while a specific condition is unsatisfied in the strong power-saving mode. The power-saving temporary mode reduces power consumption of at least a part of the hardware element in the power-saving temporary mode compared with the power consumption in the weak power-saving mode. The strong power-saving mode reduces power consumption of at least a part of the hardware element in the strong power-saving mode compared with the power consumption in the power-saving temporary mode. The power mode switching unit switches to the weak power-saving mode when the specific condition becomes satisfied in the strong power-saving mode.
