Information processing device, non-transitory, computer readable storage medium, and method of controlling information processing device

A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium storing information processing program, which when executed by an information processing device, causes the information processing device to:

• detect a state change of a first element of the information processing device on the basis of detecting that a state of the first element changed;
• determine a state of a second element of the information processing device in case of the detecting that the state of the first element changed;
• search for, from correlation information, a candidate control rule corresponding to a combination of the detected state change of the first element and the determined state of the second element, the correlation information including control rules for an operating frequency of a processor of the information processing device which are correlated with each of combinations of the state change of the first element, and states of the second element;
• and
• control the operating frequency on the basis of the candidate control rule,
• wherein the state change of the first element includes the state change of hardware in the case of a user ending operating of the information processing device, the state of the second element includes a state of whether or not a particular software executed by the processor is being executed, and in the correlation information, a control rule is correlated with the combination of the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating and the state of the particular software being executed, so that the processing capabilities of the processor are higher than with a case of a control rule being correlated with the combination of the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating and the state of the particular software not being executed, and
• wherein the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating includes change of a display of the information processing device going from on to off.

A method of controlling an information processing device comprising:

• detecting a state change of a first element of the information processing device on the basis of detecting that a state of the first element changed;
• determining a state of a second element of the information processing device in case of the detecting that the state of the first element changed;
• searching for, from correlation information, a candidate control rule corresponding to a combination of the detected state change of the first element and the determined state of the second element, the correlation information including control rules for an operating frequency of a processor of the information processing device which are correlated with each of combinations of the state change of the first element, and states of the second element;
• and
• controlling the operating frequency on the basis of the candidate control rule,
• wherein the state change of the first element includes the state change of hardware in the case of a user ending operating of the information processing device, the state of the second element includes a state of whether or not a particular software executed by the processor is being executed, and in the correlation information, a control rule is correlated with the combination of the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating and the state of the particular software being executed, so that the processing capabilities of the processor are higher than with a case of a control rule being correlated with the combination of the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating and the state of the particular software not being executed, and
• wherein the state change of hardware in the case of the user ending the operating includes change of a display of the information processing device going from on to off.
