JPS6265119A - Power supply controller - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the power consumption of a power supply controller which supplies the power to an electronic computer which is executing jobs, by providing a power supply control means to each controller. CONSTITUTION:A job schedule based on the order of jobs to be executed in a prescribed period is supplied through an input part 1 and stored in a job schedule storing part 2. While the information on a power supply make/break subject device 6 which is used for each job is supplied through the part 1 and stored in a job subject device storing part 3. The relationship between the job schedule and the device 6 is defined based on the information stored in both parts 2 and 3. Then the obtained information is stored in a make/break schedule storing part 4. A job monitor mechanism 5 monitors the job progress state of the device 6 and exchanges information with the part 4. At the same time, the mechanism 5 gives a breaking instruction of the power supply for a prescribed period when the device 6 is not used after a single job is through.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a power supply control device that supplies power to an electronic computer.

〔overview〕

The present invention is a power supply control device for a computer, in which the power consumption of the computer can be reduced by cutting off the power to unused devices among the devices constituting the computer after a job is completed. be.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional power supply control means used in electronic computer equipment,
It is valid only for startup and final shutdown during a certain period, and uniquely deals with all devices that make up a computer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Such a power control means maintains a power-on state regardless of whether a job is being executed or not, and also to devices that are not used for the job being executed.
Electricity was consumed uneconomically.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks and to provide a power supply control device that consumes power economically.

Means for Solving Problem C] The present invention provides a power supply control device for supplying power to a computer that is executing a job, including a monitoring device that monitors the job progress state of the computer, and a monitoring device that is connected to the computer. storage means for storing a job execution schedule for each device connected to the computer; The present invention is characterized by comprising a control means for controlling supply.

[For production]

The monitoring means monitors the progress of the job, and while exchanging information with the storage unit, the control means turns off the power to the equipment related to the job when it is not in use after the completion of a single job, and also controls the operation of the next job. Power on the target device used for the job when it is in a power-off state.

〔Example〕 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

The figure is a block configuration diagram showing the configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. A job schedule in accordance with the order of jobs to be executed in a predetermined period is inputted from an input section 1 and stored in a job schedule storage section 2. Further, information related to the power-on/off target device 6 used for each job is inputted from the input unit 1, and is stored in the job target device storage unit 3.

The input/disconnection schedule storage section 4 receives information obtained by associating the job schedule with the power-on/off target device 6 based on the information stored in the job schedule storage section 2 and the job target device storage section 3. Store in.

The job execution monitoring mechanism 5 monitors the job progress status of the target device 6 for power-on/power-off, and while exchanging information with the power-on/disconnect schedule storage unit 4, when the target device is unused for a certain period of time after the end of a single job. give instructions to turn off the power. Further, when the target device to be used for the next job is powered off, an instruction is given to turn on the power.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention can precisely turn on and off the power, and therefore has an economical effect of reducing the power consumption of the device.
