Abstract:
An information processing device, to which a peripheral device 3 using a consumable item is connected, includes: an information acquisition section 101 that acquires peripheral device information including a use amount of the consumable item used on the peripheral device 3, acquires a cumulative use amount of the consumable item by accumulating the use amount, and acquires an event log including contents of an event that has occurred on the information processing device and an occurrence date/time of the event; a limit value calculation section 104 that calculates an estimated limit value of the use amount of the consumable item based on the cumulative use amount of the consumable item obtained at the occurrence date/time of the event regarding the event log including the contents regarding the consumable item; and a threshold value calculation section 106 that calculates a threshold value for judging a timing to output a replacement/replenishment prompt notification in comparison with a current cumulative use amount based on a use tendency of the consumable item and the limit value.
