Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, an information processing apparatus comprises a receiving unit to receive video data, a driver and a control circuit. The driver is configured to detect a start and an end of a video reproduction program that reproduces the video data received by the receiving unit. In communication with the driver, the control circuit is configured to change a state of the receiving unit from a power-down state to an operative state when the start of the video reproduction program is detected, and to change the state of the receiving unit from the operative state to the power-down state when the end of the video reproduction program is detected.
