Abstract
According to one embodiment, a control apparatus communicable with a power measuring apparatus includes a communication unit, a threshold storage, and a controller. The communication unit acquires a usable power value from the power measuring apparatus. The threshold storage stores a threshold value. The controller changes a working state thereof in accordance with a comparison result of the usable power value and the threshold value.
Claims11
A control apparatus communicable with a power measuring apparatus which measures a consumed power value, the control apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to acquire information from the power measuring apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to control a working state thereof,
- wherein if the information acquired by the communication unit satisfies a predetermined condition, the controller changes the working state to once reduce a consumed power thereof, and then to gradually increase the consumed power.
A control method using a control apparatus communicable with a power measuring apparatus which measures a consumed power value, the method comprising:
- acquiring information from the power measuring apparatus;
- and
- controlling a working state of the control apparatus,
- wherein if the acquired information satisfies a predetermined condition the controlling the working state changes the working state to once reduce a consumed power of the control apparatus and then to gradually increase the consumed power.
A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method using a control apparatus communicable with a power measuring apparatus which measures a consumed power value, the method comprising:
- acquiring information from the power measuring apparatus;
- and
- controlling a working state of the control apparatus,
- wherein if the acquired information satisfies a predetermined condition, the controlling the working state changes the working state to once reduce a consumed power of the control apparatus and then to gradually increase the consumed power.
A control apparatus communicable with a power measuring apparatus which measures a consumed power value, the control apparatus comprising:
- means for acquiring information from the power measuring apparatus;
- and
- means for controlling a working state of the control apparatus,
- wherein if the acquired information satisfies a predetermined condition, the controlling means changes the working state to once reduce a consumed power of the control apparatus and then to gradually increase the consumed power.
