PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for minimizing power consumption of a computer while permitting execution of meaningful tasks by programs installed on the computer.SOLUTION: A method that implements power conserving measures on the basis of capacity that is available from a power source is provided. More specifically, the method comprises a step for identifying the current amount of power that is available from the power source. Then, determination is made regarding whether the current available amount of power is associated with a reduced performance state. If the current amount of power is associated with the reduced performance state, the method changes configuration of power consuming devices to transfer a computer in the reduced performance state. |
