Patent ID: 8791938

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: an input acceptance section that accepts an input of a command that causes any one of a plurality of operation states to be selected; a function section that has a plurality of operation states that differ in power consumption and that operates in an operation state represented by the command that is input to the input acceptance section of the plurality of operation states; a storage section that pre-stores power consumption values corresponding to the plurality of operation states and a conversion factor, based on which, power consumption is converted into an amount of emitted greenhouse gas; and a control section that reads from the storage section a power consumption value corresponding to an operation state represented by the command that is input to the input acceptance section, multiplies the power consumption value that has been read by the conversion factor, obtains the multiplied result as the amount of the emitted greenhouse gas per unit time, and causes the obtained result to appear on a display section.
