PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processor which performs an appropriate operation when a major power supply to a component is interrupted.SOLUTION: An information processor comprises: a first control section that performs control over a first component; a second control section that performs control over a second component which is smaller in power consumption than the first component; a first power source generation section that generates electric power supplied to the first control section; a second power source generation section that generates electric power supplied to the second control section; a first contact section for switching from either one of connection and interruption to the other; a second contact section that switches from either one of the connection and interruption to the other in conjunction with the connection state of the first contact section; and an energy storage section that is connected between the first contact section and the first and second power source generating sections and has a function to store electric power to stabilize the power supplied to the first and second power source generating sections. When the connection state of the second contact section indicates that the first contact section is interrupted, the second control section stops the control over the second component.
