ABSTRACT:
A power consumption control method for collectively controlling the power consumption of electronic apparatuses connected to a network is provided. When an electronic apparatus is connected to the network, a management device performs power-saving control for the electronic apparatus. When the electronic apparatus is disconnected from the network, the electronic apparatus performs the power-saving control for itself. Thus, the power consumption of the clients connected to the network can be effectively reduced.
