An information processing apparatus (10) comprises a feeding portion (13) which feeds power, an external connection terminal (11) which can be connected to an externally-connected apparatus (12), an externally-connected apparatus controlling portion (14) for controlling the externally-connected apparatus (12) connected to the external connection terminal (11), and a switch-over portion (17) which switches a power feeding mode so that power may be fed to the externally-connected apparatus (12) connected to the external connection terminal (11) from the feeding portion (13) via the externally-connected apparatus controlling portion (14) when the information processing apparatus (10) is in a running state while power may be fed to the externally-connected apparatus (12) connected to the external connection terminal (11) from the feeding portion (13) bypassing the externally-connected apparatus controlling portion (14) when the information processing apparatus (10) is in a resting state. Due to this structure, power can be fed to the externally-connected apparatus under a power saving state even if the information processing apparatus is in a resting state, which enhances convenience. |
