According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a receiving device, a processor, and a control unit. The receiving device receives broadcast program data. The processor executes various software, and transitions, when the processor is idle, from an operation state to one of a first sleep state in which the processor consumes less power than in the operation state, and a second sleep state in which the processor consumes less power than in the first sleep state and takes a longer time for restoring to the operation state than in the first sleep state. The control unit prohibits the processor from transitioning to the second sleep state when a program for reproducing the broadcast program data, which is received by the receiving device, is started.
