Information processing apparatus and method, and computer-readable medium

Abstract

A UPS monitoring part monitors a state of a UPS, on the basis of an information which was transmitted from the UPS which was connected to an information processing apparatus, and received by a UPS communication part. A UPS control part, on the basis of a result of that monitoring, generates a control information for individually controlling respective states of a plurality of electric power output parts of the UPS, in accordance with a condition of power-off of each load which was connected to the corresponding electric power output part, and carries out a control for transmitting it from the UPS communication part to the UPS.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device and method, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions for operating the information processing device. In particular, the present invention relates to an information processing device and method and a computer readable medium by which states of a plurality of power output parts of a power supply device can be separately controlled by using one of the information processing devices. Background technique [0002] In recent years, information processing devices have become popular, and their importance is increasing year by year. However, in many cases, the power consumed by the information processing apparatus is directly supplied from a commercial AC power supply, and, for this reason, in many cases, when a certain failure occurs in the commercial AC power supply (for example, when a momentary voltage drop (instantaneous power failure), sudden power failure, etc.), there will b...

Problems solved by technology

That is, such a complicated operation becomes necessary that the user separately inputs information for controlling settings required for each power supply port corresponding to each corresponding computer (hereinafter, such information is referred to as setting information), and since the input If there are too many, input errors will occur

[0016] In addition, for example, where the number of components of the information processing system increases (i.e., a new computer is added), and in the case where the content of existing components of the information processing system is changing (eg, new application software to a predetermined computer), such complicated work becomes necessary that the user reads and verifies each previous setting information of each power port from each corresponding computer, and then resets the setting information of each power port

Moreover, the user has to perform such a complicated operation again that each setting information of each power supply port set in this way is separately inputted (distributed and then inputted) to each of a plurality of computers

[0017] Also, in many cases, in the prior art, included in such systems are devices that cannot communicate with the multi-output UPS (devices that cannot be connected to the communication ports), such as routers, switching hubs or external hard drives, In the related art, the output state to the power output port of these connected devices actually becomes an uncontrolled state
