Power consumption management apparatus

摘要

A detection unit detects input-request signals or receive signals that correspond to the input-request signals that are sent and received between a specific data-processing apparatus and another apparatus. A judgment unit then determines whether the data-processing apparatus is performing a specific process, based on the status of the data-processing apparatus and detection results from the detection unit. A supply-control unit controls whether or not to supply a synchronization clock to the data-processing means according to judgment results from the judgment unit.
