Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: plural drawing processing units that perform the image processing based on designation of an image processing command which designates plural types of image processing; and a determination unit that determines whether the respective image processing designated with the image processing command is performed by one of the plurality of drawing processing units, or performed by the plurality of drawing processing units, based on image processing time necessary for execution of the respective image processing designated with the image processing command. The image processing apparatus also includes a power source controller that, in a case where the determination unit determines that the respective image processing designated with the image processing command is performed by one of the plurality of drawing processing units, reduces power consumption of other drawing processing units than the one drawing processing unit, in comparison with a case where the respective image processing designated with the image processing command is performed by the plurality of drawing processing units.
