Abstract
An information processing apparatus balances the reduction of return time with the reduction of power consumption in accordance with the use status of a user and a time zone in which it is scheduled to be used. The information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to: enter a first sleep state when transition is performed from an active state to an idle state; transition to a second sleep state having a longer return time to the active state than the first sleep state if there is not an operation of the user for a first idle time when entering the first sleep state before a previously set scheduled use-end time after a previously set scheduled use-start time; and transition to the second sleep state if there is not an operation of the user for a second idle time shorter than the first idle time when entering the first sleep state before the scheduled use-start time after the scheduled use-end time.
