Patent ID: 8259333

Claim:
An information processing apparatus that calculates a resource consumption amount dependent on printing process of jobs using a printing function of an image processing apparatus, comprising: an acquisition unit constructed to acquire job log data of a job printed by the image processing apparatus, wherein the job log data includes data about first print setting information that was used when the job corresponding to the job log data was printed; an input unit constructed to input a second print setting information used for calculating a resource consumption amount as setting information changed from the first print setting information; a designation unit constructed to designate a target period to be a calculation target of a resource consumption amount; a calculation unit constructed to calculate, according to the input by said input unit, a resource consumption amount consumed by printing the job corresponding to the job log data acquired by said acquisition unit for the designated target period by using the input second print setting information; and an output unit constructed to perform outputting based on the resource consumption amount calculated by said calculation unit, wherein the first print setting information is changed to the second print setting information by setting N-up (N>=2) and double-side printing of the first print setting information, based on the input by said input unit.
