Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: one or more than one sensor that senses an event on the image processing apparatus; a first memory; a main CPU that loses power supply while sleep mode is on; and a subordinate CPU that receives power supply even while sleep mode is on. The subordinate CPU performs: terminating sleep mode; judging whether not an event occurs on the image processing apparatus by inquiring of the one or more than one sensor, at predetermined intervals during the transition of the main CPU from sleep to normal operation; and storing a record of an event on the first memory if it occurs. After the transition, the main CPU retrieves the record from the first memory and performs processing using it.
