1. An information processing device configured to measure power consumption of a specific function of said information processing device, and execute predetermined processing when a remaining amount of power of said information processing device becomes equal to or smaller than an amount of power consumption necessary for executing the specific function for a specific period of time with the measured power consumption, said information processing device comprising:

  • a power consumption calculator configured to calculate, for each processing executed by said information processing device, power consumption information concerning an amount of power consumed by executing each processing;

    a request generator configured to compare the amount of power indicated by the power consumption information and a remaining amount of power of said information processing device, and to generate a request to execute the predetermined processing according to a result of the comparison; and

    a request processor configured to execute the predetermined processing in response to the request generated by said request generator,wherein the power consumption information includes;

    an ensured minimum execution time period, which is a minimum period of time for which a user wishes to execute the processing, and power consumption, which is an amount of power consumed when the processing is executed for a unit of time, andsaid power consumption calculator is further configured to manage the power consumption information through historical management based upon previously calculated power consumption information.
