INFORMATION PROCESSOR AND CONTROL METHOD

To provide an information processor and a control method capable of exerting an image processing function required by a user regardless of a main power control mode.SOLUTION: A first processor can take a first power control mode having a plurality of stages with different first rated power and a second processor can take a second power control mode having a plurality of stages with different second rated power. A power control unit controls power consumption of the first processor and power consumption of the second processor, and determines, on the basis of a first event in which a predetermined state of the first processor lasts for first duration or longer, and a second event in which a predetermined state of the second processor lasts for second duration or longer, the second power control mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】主たる電力制御モードに関わらずユーザに要求される画像処理機能を発揮することができる情報処理装置および制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】第１のプロセッサは、第１の定格電力が異なる複数段階の第１の電力制御モードをとりえ、第２のプロセッサは、第２の定格電力が異なる複数段階の第２の電力制御モードをとりえ、電力制御部は、第１のプロセッサの消費電力と前記第２のプロセッサの消費電力を制御し、第１のプロセッサの所定の状態が第１の継続期間以上継続する第１の事象と、第２のプロセッサの所定の状態が第２の継続期間以上継続する第２の事象に基づいて、前記第２の電力制御モードを定める。【選択図】図４
