Control program, control device, and method of controlling

Abstract

The invention relates to a control program, a control device, and a method of controlling. The OS of a terminal #0 according the present invention, during the execution of moving image compression processing and moving image shooting processing in the terminal #0, (1) checks the remaining battery life of the terminal #0, when the remaining battery life has become less than a threshold value is detected, and (2) stops the moving image compression processing. The OS of the terminal #0, (3) transmits the identification information of the moving image compression processing to a terminal #1 which can carry out wireless communication with the terminal #0. The OS of the terminal #1 searches for the code of the moving image compression processing from a memory based on the identification information of the moving image compression processing. Because the code of the moving image compression processing is not present in the memory, the OS of the terminal #01, (4) transmits to the terminal #0 a request for transmitting the code of the moving image compression processing and the result of executing the moving image compression processing. The OS of the terminal #0, when it receives from the OS of the terminal #1 the request for transmitting the code of the moving image compression processing and the result of executing the moving image compression processing, (5) transmits to the terminal #1 the code of the moving image compression processing and the result of executing the moving image compression processing. The OS of the terminal #1, when it receives the code of the moving image compression processing and the result of executing the moving image compression processing, (7) carries out the moving image compression processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control program, a control device, and a control method for controlling execution of tasks. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a distributed processing technique via wireless communication has been utilized among a plurality of terminals. For example, since a terminal such as a mobile phone is a battery-driven system, when distributed processing is performed via wireless communication, if the battery runs out during the processing, the processing cannot be continued. Then, there is known a technique for determining a terminal to which an allocation process is allocated based on the remaining battery level of each terminal (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 below). Specifically, the process is controlled not to be assigned to a terminal whose remaining battery level is equal to or less than a threshold value.

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the prior art, the determination of the remaining battery level is only performed when the process is allocated, and if the remaining battery level is only a little bit higher than the threshold, the process is also allocated based on the load of the terminal.

That is, since many processes are assigned to terminals with high computing power CPUs, there is a problem that a large amount of power is consumed and the remaining battery power decreases rapidly.

[0006] In distributed processing, when each terminal executes tasks other than distributed processing, the remaining battery power may be exhausted due to the execution of these tasks, and there is a problem that the tasks assigned in distributed processing cannot be guaranteed to be completed.
