Patent number: 9128707Abstract: A power-supply control device includes a power-supply-state transition control section, body-capable-of-movement detection sections, and an instruction section. The power-supply-state transition control section shifts a state of an operation target section from one state to another state among power-supply states and a non-power-supply state. The body-capable-of-movement detection sections detect a body capable of movement in a region. The instruction section provides, on the basis of results of detection of the body capable of movement by the body-capable-of-movement detection sections, at least an instruction for shifting between one of the power-supply states and the non-power-supply state, among instructions for shifting the state of the operation target section from one state to another state with the power-supply-state transition control section.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Motofumi Baba, Kazuhiko Narushima, Kenta Ogata, Masafumi Ono, Mitsunobu Mamiya, Kenji Kuroishi, Kouichi Azuma, Hidenori Horie, Masato Ishiyama, Keiko Shiraishi, Ryo Ando
