Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a control unit to execute an operating system and selectively output a first video signal and a first audio signal based on the execution of the operating system; an external input unit to which an external content signal including a second video signal and a second audio signal transmitted from an external apparatus is input; and a reproduction state switch control unit to selectively switch between a first reproduction state for reproducing the first video signal and the first audio signal, a second reproduction state for reproducing the second video signal and the second audio signal, and a reproduction standby state in which the operating system is not being executed and the external content signal is not received, wherein in response to detecting an input of the external content signal to the external input unit during the reproduction standby state, the reproduction state switch control unit switches from the reproduction standby state to the second reproduction state while the control unit maintains the operating system in an inactive state.
