20100095144 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT, POWER-SAVING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORED WITH THE POWER-SAVING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - An information processing unit having an auto power-off function includes: a mode setting means for setting one mode from a plurality of pre-prepared power-saving modes in conformity with input by a user, wherein the plurality of power-saving modes includes a first mode and a second mode, and the first mode and the second mode differ in electricity consumption reduction effectiveness; a determination means for determining whether a non-operated state in which no input operation has been carried out by the user has continued for a predetermined time or longer; a processing execution means for executing internal processing; and a decision means for deciding whether or not to execute the auto power-off function based on the mode set by the mode setting means and internal processing executed by the processing execution means when the determination means has determined that the non-operated state has continued for a predetermined time or longer. A storage medium stores a computer program for power-saving management. A power-saving management method includes a mode setting step, a determination step, a processing execution step, and a decision step. | 04-15-2010 |
20120229498 | Information Processing Device and Information Processing Method - A display format identification unit identifies a display format defined in a plurality of items of image data associated with each other. A message communication unit communicates a message corresponding to the identified display format when an image generation unit generates a display image in a display format different from the identified display format. A communication storage unit stores a record indicating that the message communication unit communicates a message. If the communication storage unit stores the record indicating that the message was communicated, the message communication unit does not communicate a message again. | 09-13-2012 |
20130191671 | INFORMATION PROCESSING UNIT, POWER-SAVING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORED WITH THE POWER-SAVING MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - An information processing unit having an auto power-off function includes a mode setting means for setting one mode from a plurality of pre-prepared modes. The pre-prepared modes include a first power-saving mode and a second power-saving mode. Also included are a processing execution means for executing game application or contents replay as internal processing, and a power controlling means for controlling power of the information processing unit. The power controlling means continues power-on in the first power-saving mode and changes to power-off in the second power-saving mode when a non-operated state in which no input operation has been carried out by the user has continued for a predetermined time or longer during execution of the internal processing. | 07-25-2013 |

20080310415 | APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING PACKETS AND METHOD OF DOING THE SAME - An apparatus for processing a packet includes a packet processor operating in accordance with a clock signal having a predetermined frequency, to process a packet, and a clock-signal generator producing the clock signal and transmitting the clock signal to the packet processor, wherein the clock-signal generator generates a clock signal having a frequency defined in accordance with a time interval at which packets are input into the apparatus. | 12-18-2008 |
20090268629 | PACKET PROCESSING APPARATUS - A packet processing apparatus includes a packet buffer unit that temporarily holds packet data, a packet processing unit that processes packet data output from the packet buffer unit, a clock supply unit that supplies a clock signal to the packet processing unit, and a control unit that detects a buffer vacant time indicating a time during which no packet data exists in the packet buffer unit based on an accumulation amount of the packet data in the packet buffer unit, and controls an operational state of the clock supply unit in accordance with the buffer vacant time. | 10-29-2009 |
20090271647 | POWER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD AND CURCUIT IN COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT - A circuit includes: an input buffer for storing input data; a plurality of processing sections connected in series including a head processing section and a tail-end processing section to sequentially process the input data; and a power supply controller for controlling power supply to each of the plurality of processing sections depending on a lapse of time during which no input data is stored in the input buffer. | 10-29-2009 |
20090285105 | PACKET PROCESSOR, PACKET CONTROL METHOD, AND PACKET CONTROL PROGRAM - A packet processor having one or two or more packet processing units is provided with a packet detector which detects whether or not a packet exists in a packet processing unit, and outputs a packet detection signal indicating a result of the detection, and a clock frequency controller which controls a clock to be supplied to the packet processing unit based on the packet detection signal. | 11-19-2009 |
