Abstract
A processor capable of executing predetermined processing includes: a communication interface for communicating with a host device which requests the execution of the processing; a main control unit configured to control the execution of the processing; a notification unit which does not proceed to a power saving mode but executes notification processing for allowing the host device to detect that an operating mode of the main control unit is in the power saving mode when the main control unit proceeds to the power saving mode reducing power consumption; and a state switching unit configured to allow the communication interface to proceed to a power saving state of which power consumption is smaller than that of a normal state when the communication interface receives a power saving command from the host device.
