摘要 |
An apparatus includes: a first unit configured to provide a given function; and a second unit configured to be connected to the first unit. The second unit includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire authentication information from an authentication medium; an authentication unit configured to use the acquired authentication information to perform a user authentication process that enables the use of the function of the first unit; and a first power management unit configured to, when the first unit transitions to an energy-saving mode in which power consumption is reduced by stopping power supply to a given hardware resource, cause the second unit to transition to the energy-saving mode while the acquisition unit is kept in a driven state and, on the user authentication process, recover the second unit from the energy-saving mode such that the authentication unit performs the user authentication process. |
