Information processing apparatus, method of starting up the same, and startup program of the same
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus having a hibernation state, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- means for storing data required to resume a state of information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to an arbitrary operational state when the state of the information processing apparatus is shifted from the arbitrary operational state to the hibernation state;
means for turning off the information processing apparatus after the state of the information apparatus is shifted to the hibernation state;
means for determining whether the state of information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state when the information processing apparatus is turned on after the information processing apparatus is turned off; and
means for resuming the state of the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to the arbitrary operational state based on the required data when the means for determining determines that the state of the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus, having a hibernation state, includes a hibernation controller that stores information required to resume the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to an arbitrary operational state when the information processing apparatus is shifted from the arbitrary operational state to the hibernation state and that turns off the information processing apparatus; a determiner determining whether the information processing apparatus is started up from the hibernation state when the information processing apparatus is turned on after the information processing apparatus is turned off by the hibernation controller; and a resume controller returning the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to the arbitrary operational state based on the required information when the determiner determines that the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state.

6. A method of starting up an information processing apparatus having a hibernation state, the method comprising:
-
storing information required to resume the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to an arbitrary operational state when the information processing apparatus is shifted from the arbitrary operational state to the hibernation state;
turning off the information processing apparatus;
determining whether the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state when the information processing apparatus is turned on after the information processing apparatus is turned off; and
resuming the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to the arbitrary operational state based on the required information when it is determined in the determining step that the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A startup program of an information processing apparatus having a hibernation state, the startup program causing a computer to execute the steps of:
-
storing information required to resume the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to an arbitrary operational state when the information processing apparatus is shifted from the arbitrary operational state to the hibernation state;
turning off the information processing apparatus;
determining whether the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state when the information processing apparatus is turned on after the information processing apparatus is turned off; and
resuming the information processing apparatus from the hibernation state to the arbitrary operational state based on the required information when it is determined in the determining step that the information processing apparatus is resumed from the hibernation state. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
