摘要:
A data processing system capable of specifying impeding factors that impede power savings is disclosed. The data processing system includes a central processing unit, an operation mode detection unit, and an impeding factors specifying unit. The central processing unit has multiple operation modes, and each of the operation modes has a different rate of power consumption. The operation mode detection unit detects an operation mode of the central processing unit. Based on a history of operation modes of the central processing unit that was detected by the operation mode detection unit, the impeding factors specifying unit specifies a device that is considered as an impeding factor to power savings for the data processing system.

摘要:
An information processing apparatus driven by an AC power supply or a rechargeable battery has a charge directing unit which initiates charging of the battery from the AC power supply, provided that the remaining amount of power of the battery is lower than a predetermined charge-start-criteria level and that the information processing apparatus is driven by the AC power supply. Also included is a drive history storage which stores a drive history including information indicating which of the AC power supply and the battery was driving the information processing apparatus in each time period in the past. A recharge-start-criteria-level-setting unit sets the charge-start-criteria level on the basis of the drive history.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus that is driven by a rechargeable battery, wherein the battery is depleted from a fully charged state and repeatedly charged and discharged, comprises a full charge capacity acquisition unit for acquiring a present full charge capacity of the battery which the battery has at the present time, a total charge acquiring unit for acquiring information indicating a total amount of charge provided to the battery in a time period from a start time of using the battery until the present full charge capacity is acquired, and a restoring unit for performing a battery restoration in which the battery is fully discharged or fully charged in order to recover the full charge capacity if it is determined that the present full charge capacity is smaller than an expected full charge capacity that the battery should have depending on the information.

摘要:
An assistance program which assists a user of an information processing apparatus in operating the apparatus causes the information processing apparatus to function as a detection mechanism for detecting whether or not a setting of a set of input/output devices has been changed within a reference time period. The assistance program further causes the information processing apparatus to function as a notification mechanism for conditionally notifying the user that the user can change the setting of the input/output devices. One such notification condition exists where no setting of the input/output devices has changed in the reference period.
摘要:
A system and method for translating character strings into another national language and displaying the translated character strings without updating any source code. The character strings are displayed on GUI environment upon the execution of the object computer program. The method for displaying character strings on GUI environment provided by a computer program comprises the steps of; (a) providing an executable program; (b) providing a text file including the character strings and being openable with the executable program; (c) executing the executable program (301); (d) retrieving the text file from the executable program (307); and (e) displaying the character strings included in the opened text file (315).
