<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an information processing apparatus capable of reducing the standby power consumed by an external power supply device. <P>SOLUTION: When an AC adapter 122 is taken out from a power connector 20 of a computer 10, the computer 10 transmits by radio a command indicating turning off of a power circuit 201 of the AC adapter 122 via a radio communication device 117 to the AC adapter 122. Thereby, when the AC adapter 122 is taken from the computer 10 for a user to carry and move with the computer 10 to a conference room from his or her won desk, the power circuit 201 in the AC adapter 122 is turned off automatically. Therefore, wasteful power consumed by the AC adapter can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
