Network-connectable device and method for managing power thereof

A power management method for a network-connectable device configured to communicate with a plurality of computer-related devices via a network, said method comprising:

• registering the plurality of computer-related devices connected to the network-connectable device via the network on a list when the network-connectable device receives a start command signal instructing the network-connectable device to activate which is transmitted from the plurality of computer-related devices via the network;
• deleting each of the plurality of computer-related devices from the list when each of the plurality of computer-related devices registered on the list is switched to or is to be switched to a disconnected state disconnected from the network;
• and
• shutting down power to a part of the network-connectable device when all of the plurality of computer-related devices connected to the network-connectable device via the network are deleted from the list.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by a network-connectable device configured to communicate with a plurality of computer-related devices via a network, cause the network-connectable device to perform a power management method comprising:

• registering the plurality of computer-related devices connected to the network-connectable device via the network on a list when the network-connectable device receives a start command signal transmitted from the plurality of computer-related devices via the network instructing the network-connectable device to activate;
• deleting each of the plurality of computer-related devices from the list when each of the plurality of computer-related devices registered on the list is switched to or is to be switched to a disconnected state from the network;
• and
• shutting down power to a part of the network-connectable device when all of the plurality of computer-related devices connected to the network-connectable device via the network are deleted from the list.
