Information processing apparatus and judging method

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a processor, a non-volatile storage unit, a receiving unit, a judging unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives from the processor an inquiry about accessibility of the storage unit. The judging unit judges, upon receipt of the inquiry, whether the storage unit is accessible on the basis of a start-up time period between starting power supply to the storage unit and activation of the storage unit. The transmitting unit transmits a judgment result obtained by the judging unit to the processor.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:
 a processor;   a non-volatile storage;   a secondary cell;   a power controller that controls the power supply to the processor and the storage; wherein   the power controller does not activate the processor and the storage until an amount of power in the secondary cell is recovered to a value that is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and causes the secondary cell to supply the power to the processor and the storage when an amount of power in the secondary cell is recovered to a value that is greater than the predetermined threshold value.
