Abstract
In a power control apparatus for controlling the power consumption of each of resources for running an application program in an electrical apparatus for running the application program, an operation status detector detects operation statuses of the application program. A load determinator determines a load on the resource in the detected operation status of the application program. A resource operation controller controls the operation of each of the resources such that the resource is operated by a load determined by the load determinator. As a result, the resource is driven by power properly required to run the application program depending on the operation status of the application program.
