Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first sensor unit that senses a person within a first distance from the information processing apparatus, a second sensor unit that senses a person within a second distance set closer to the information processing apparatus than the first distance, a shifting unit that sets the information processing apparatus to a first mode when a person is sensed by the first sensor unit, and shifts the information processing apparatus from the first mode to a second mode that consumes power less than in the first mode when the person is no longer sensed within the second distance by the second sensor unit, a receiving unit that receives an instruction to modify the first distance or the second distance, and a modifying unit that modifies the first distance or the second distance in response to the instruction received by the receiving unit.
