1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a computation processing circuit configured to set one of an active state in which a power is consumed by the computation processing circuit, and a power-saving state in which the power is not consumed by the computation processing circuit; and
an event detection module configured to:
communicate with an external apparatus via a network; and
determine, as a first event, a reception of a signal received from the external apparatus via a side of the network, wherein
the computation processing circuit is changed from the power-saving state to the active state based on the determination of the first event, and
the event detection module receives power from a power supply unit in the power-saving state.
