First Claim
1. A power control device, comprising:
- a storage that stores therein a look-up table, which includes relationship between needed power consumptions and start-up conditions of an electronic device including a plurality of modules, the start-up condition of the electronic device being determined from the needed power consumption in the look-up table and specifying a power on/off status of the modules included the electronic device,a monitor that monitors a voltage or available power supplied by a power source when the electronic device is activated;
a determining unit configured to determine a start-up condition corresponding to needed power consumption, which corresponds to the voltage or available power monitored by the monitor, with reference to the look-up table; and
a controller that sets a start-up condition of the electronic device to start up the electronic device in the start-up condition determined by the determining unit.

Abstract
According to an embodiment, a power control device includes a storage unit, a monitor, a determining unit, and a controller. The storage device stores a look-up table, which includes relationship between needed power consumptions and start-up conditions of an electronic device including a plurality of modules. The start-up condition of the electronic device is determined from the needed power consumption in the look-up table and specifies a power on/off status of the modules in the electronic device. The monitor monitors a voltage or available power supplied by a power source when the electronic device is activated. The determining unit determines a start-up condition corresponding to needed power consumption, which corresponds to the voltage or available power monitored by the monitor, with reference to the table. The controller sets a start-up condition of the electronic device to start up the electronic device in the start-up condition determined by the determining unit.
