Abstract

An information processing apparatus that achieves both power supply to an external device and information processing. Power supply capability to be presented to the external device is determined based on a state of the information processing apparatus. Power is supplied to the external device, based on a request from the external device as to the power supply capability to be presented to the external device. In a case where the state of the information processing apparatus has changed, the power supply capability to be presented to the external device is changed based on the changed state.
