<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power source control system for a terminal which can simplify hardware for turning off the power source of the terminal and makes easier addition of a new terminal by suppressing power source off if it is judged that the power source is needed by another terminal when each of plural terminals turns off its own power source. SOLUTION: Plural computers (terminals WS1 to WSn) are controlled by a network and each of the terminals WS1 to WSn is equipped with a function to automatically turn off its own power source after shutdown. Then, in this system, it is possible to know if each of the terminals WS1 to WSn is needed by other terminals of power source control by a power control structure chart for indicating whether or not each of the terminals WS1 to WSn is operating and a power source control chart for indicating all the other terminals whether or not the power source control for power source off suppression is necessary. Then, even if a terminal becomes possible to turn off the power source, the operation is designed to be continued when it is known by the power source control chart that it is needed from another terminal.</p> |
