Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control section, and can temporarily pause at least some of its own functions. When the control section provided in the information processing apparatus is to temporarily pause at least some of its own functions, the control section performs control for setting a function temporary pause period within which at least some of functions of a different apparatus are to be temporarily paused. Further, the control section provided in the information processing apparatus performs control for notifying the different apparatus of the set function temporary pause period. Power consumption of the information processing apparatus can be reduced.
