INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

Provided is an information processing apparatus characterized by having the following: a power consumption actual value calculation unit that calculates individual power consumption for measured devices and retains the same as actual values; a next period power consumption prediction unit that predicts power consumption for each device for a subsequent second period, on the basis of the actual power consumption values for each device in the first period; and a control processing unit that compares the statistical power consumption values for each device in the second period to preset target values that have been set in advance, and changes the status of the devices in a direction that brings the devices closer to the target value.
