Electronic Apparatus, Control Method of Electronic Apparatus and Power Saving Control Device
First Claim
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an operation status control module configured to control an operation status of the electronic apparatus in response to an operation signal from an operation module;
a sensing module configured to detect a specified object in a neighborhood; and
a control module configured to selectively set the electronic apparatus into one of a power saving status and a power saving-released status according to whether the sensing module detects the object or does not detect the object, and release the power saving status when an operation signal is input even in the object being not detected and in the power saving status.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, an operation control module 107p controls an operation status of an electronic apparatus in response to an operation signal from an operation module. A power saving status setting module 107a sets the electronic apparatus into the power saving status when a sensing module 108 does not acquire a preset detection output (user detection). A first power saving status releasing module 107b releases the power saving status of electronic apparatus when the sensing module has acquired the preset detection output (user detection). A second power saving status releasing module 107c releases the power saving status when the operation signal is input from the operation module in the power saving status.
