Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a receiving unit that receives, from an external device via a communication line, a signal requesting provision of various types of services; a processing unit that when the receiving unit receives the signal in a setting period of a power saving state where power consumption is lower than in a running state, returns to the running state to process the signal and provide a service corresponding to the signal; and a memory that stores a content of the service provided by the processing unit and a content of a request requested by the signal, the content of the service and the content of the request being correlated respectively, wherein when the request received by the receiving unit in the setting period of the power saving state matches the content of the request stored in the memory, the processing unit reads the content of the service correlated with the content of the request from the memory and provides the service corresponding to the content of the service to the external device, wherein the processing unit has an arithmetic device and a main memory, and the memory is set in a data region inside the main memory that is configured as a work region when the arithmetic device processes an image formation command in the running state.
