摘要 An electric power control unit alternately repeats a first electric power control period and a second electric power control period when a low electric power mode is set by a mode setting unit. When a sleep mode is set by the mode setting unit, a second electric power control is executed.

主权项 1. An electronic equipment configured to control electric power consumption of the electronic equipment, comprising: an electric power control unit configured to execute an ordinary electric power control, as an electric power control of an ordinary mode, and configured to selectively execute a first electric power control and a second electric power control as electric power controls of electric power saving modes, the first electric power control being such that the electric power consumption is smaller than in the ordinary electric power control, the second electric power control being such that the electric power consumption is smaller than in the first electric power control; a recovery receiving unit configured to receive a recovery instruction indicating that the electronic equipment is recovered from the electric power saving mode to the ordinary mode; and a mode setting unit configured to selectively set a first power saving mode and a second power saving mode as the electric power saving modes, and configured to switch setting of the electronic equipment from the first power saving mode to the second power saving mode when a predetermined period is elapsed without receiving the recovery instruction by the recovery receiving unit after the electronic equipment is set to the first power saving mode; a counting unit configured to count the number of times of the recovery instruction received by the recovery receiving unit for a preset period, without elapse of the predetermined period, when the first power saving mode is set by the mode setting unit; and a period setting unit configured to set a ratio between the first electric power control period and the second electric power control period in accordance with the number of times of the recovery instruction counted by the counting unit after elapse of the preset period, wherein the electric power control unit executes an energy-saving control having a first electric power control period and a second electric power control period when the first power saving mode is set by the mode setting unit, executes the second electric power control when the second power saving mode is set by the mode setting unit, and executes the energy-saving control at the ratio between the first electric power control period and the second electric power control period set by the period setting unit.
