Embodiment Construction

[0050] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Before describing specific embodiments of the present invention, in order to better understand the present invention, at first some terms used in the present invention are explained:

[0052] Power consumption: the power consumed by the user when using the image forming device.

[0053] Available power: During the process of using the image forming device, the user can use the power for printing, copying, scanning and faxing.

[0054]Upper limit of power consumption: the maximum value of available power allowed for the user's personal account within a predetermined period of time, which is the maximum power consumption allowed for the user. For example, the upper limit of power consumption allocated to users in each month is 100 kW...

Abstract

The invention relates to a power consumption management method and apparatus and an image forming apparatus and system. The power consumption management method comprises that a first or second result is obtained, the first result refers to that a file related to a user instruction is a file of a user himself / herself, and the second result refers to that the file related to the user instruction is a file of people except the user; after the first and second result is obtained, first processing is carried out on the first result correspondingly, namely, power consumption used to execute the user instruction is reckoned into an individual account of the user; and second processing different from the first processing is carried out on the second result correspondingly. Thus, the power consumption of the user can be determined reasonably, and energy consumption of the image forming device is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to technical fields such as printing, copying, scanning, and facsimile, and particularly relates to a power consumption management device and method, an image forming device and a system. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, users basically have no restrictions when using image forming devices such as printers, copiers, and all-in-one machines. The image forming apparatus executes printing, copying, scanning, or facsimile upon receiving an instruction from a user. Therefore, the frequency of use of the image forming device is relatively high, resulting in a large energy consumption of the image forming device. [0003] In order to improve the above phenomenon, an improvement scheme is proposed in the prior art: set the upper limit of power consumption for each user within a certain period of time, when the power consumed by the user using the image forming device exceeds the set upper limit, the A reminder win...
