POWER SAVING METHOD FOR NETWORK PROCESSING, POWER-SAVED NETWORK SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the efficiency of network processing to save the power in a network system of a server with a plurality of servers or a plurality of clients under the control thereof within a specified LAN. SOLUTION: The server inquires the next processing start time to a client under the control, and the client receiving it reports the next processing start time and cuts the power supply while leaving wakeup function. The server accumulates data transmitted from the other client while the power supply of the client under control is cut, and transmits the accumulated data when the client start by the wakeup function, and the next processing start time comes. The client reports the next processing time after it processes only the received accumulated data portion, and gets in a power saving mode.
