POWER MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND POWER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power management apparatus and power management program which enable power consumption of electronic equipment to be suppressed in comparison with the case where the electronic equipment does not have a function for outputting substitutive series processing information about substitutive series processing in which predictive power is less than that in received series processing.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 12 calculates predictive power of a job flow instructed to execute from a user, searches for a substitutive job flow substituting the job flow instructed to execute and calculates predictive power of the substitutive job flow. In the case where a substitutive job flow is present of which the predictive power is less than that of the job flow instructed to execute, that substitutive job flow is executed.
