Abstract

A portable information processing terminal is provided which can display an application execution-enabled time period. A download section 122 stores, in an application storage section 103, an application obtained from an outside. An application management table 500 has registered therein a power consumption, per unit time, for the application stored in the application storage section 103. A power measurement section 110 measures the power consumption per unit time for the application which is being executed. An application status management section 100 manages the application management table 500, and calculates the execution-enabled time period for the application, based on the power consumption for the application per unit time, and a remaining battery power in a battery section 15. A display section 11 displays the execution-enabled time period for the application.
