Abstract
The power supply management system is provided with an information processor and a terminal that is connected to the information processor by a communication line and a power supply line and that is controlled for power supply by the information processor. The terminal includes a monitor unit that is capable of monitoring at least any one of a signal received from the outside through the communication line and a signal detected inside by using the electric power supplied through the power supply line and a change unit that changes an internal power supply path so as to supply electric power other than the electric power supplied through the power supply line on the basis of the monitoring results of the monitor unit.
