Abstract
An information processing apparatus operable in a first power state and in a second power state in which power consumption is lower than that in the first power state includes a near-field wireless communication unit configured to be driven by electric power induced by a radio wave from a mobile terminal, and communicate with the mobile terminal when the information processing apparatus is in the second power state. The near-field wireless communication unit sends, if a command received from the mobile terminal in the second power state is a command of a first type, a response corresponding to the command to the mobile terminal in the second power state, and if the received command is a command of a second type, performs control so as to supply electric power to a portion necessary for sending a response corresponding to the command to the mobile terminal.
