Abstract:
1. A processing control apparatus comprising: a processor that operates by using power supplied from a main power supply and that executes a process on the basis of received information; a setting unit that restricts power supply from the main power supply to the processor and that sets a restricted period in which a process is prohibited from being executed in the processor; a delay unit that, in the case where a specific process which is being executed when the restricted period is to start will be completed within a predetermined allowed time period, delays the time when the restricted period is to start at least until the specific process is completed; and a restart unit that, in the case where the specific process which is being executed when the restricted period is to start will not be completed within the predetermined allowed time period, restarts a remaining process of the specific process after the restricted period ends, the remaining process being generated on the basis of the prohibition of execution of a process in the processor.
