Abstract
An information processing apparatus is set to always obtain information, even while an application is not being executed, and effectively using the obtained information. A state of the environment in a place where the information processing apparatus is present is detected. Detection data indicating the state of the environment detected by the detection section is stored. An operation mode is switched at least between a normal mode in which power is being supplied to the application execution section and the predetermined application can be executed, and a power saving mode in which at least supply of power to the application execution section is restricted and the predetermined application cannot be executed. At least in the power saving mode, a state of the environment is detected, and detection data indicating the state of the environment detected is stored in the first storage section at predetermined time intervals.
