Claim Text:
1. An information processing apparatus for calculating electric power consumption of an image forming apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising: a memory; and a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to execute the following steps: storing start time power consumption indicating electric power consumption of a starting process which is performed when a job of the image forming apparatus is started; collecting, from the image forming apparatus, job history including job information of each of jobs which the image forming apparatus has processed; calculating the electric power consumption in a job processing state in a designated period by using the job history; identifying a number of times the image forming apparatus has executed the starting process in the designated period based on the job history; correcting a value of the electric power consumption calculated by adding a value obtained by multiplying the start time power consumption by the identified number of times to the electric power consumption of the image forming apparatus in the job processing state; and generating a display screen used for displaying a circular chart illustrating a ratio of the electric power consumption of the one or a plurality of image forming apparatus in each state so that the circular chart is arranged in a position corresponding to each icon on a map image where an icon indicating an installation position of the image forming apparatus is arranged and a size of the circular chart corresponds to an amount of the electric power consumption of the image forming apparatus, and wherein, if the icon or the circular chart is designated, generating a detailed display screen used for displaying more detailed information of the electric power consumption of the image forming apparatus in each state corresponding to the designated icon or the designated circular chart in addition to display information on the display screen.
