Patent ID: 8583951

Claim:
A video/audio processing device for processing video and/or audio signals, comprising: a controller configured to control a state of power-on/off of the video/audio processing device, the controller having a first standby mode, and a second standby mode that has power consumption larger than that of the first standby mode, in a power-off state of the video/audio processing device, wherein the controller: 1) automatically updates a power-on time and a power-off time by learning a user's operation, 2) when power off operation is provided by the user to the video/audio processing device, determines whether the time at which power off operation is provided is in a range from the power on time to the learned power off time, based on the learned power on time and the learned power off time, and 3) switches a mode to the second standby mode when the time at which power off operation is provided is in the range, or switches a mode to the first standby mode when the time at which power off operation is provided is not in the range.
