  • Patent number: 10788783
    Abstract: A method for demanding a more flexible printing processing by an image forming apparatus which comprises a first storage section and a second storage section involves deciding whether to print the image information contained in the file; determining whether or not an image indicated by the emphasis information stored in the second storage section is contained in the image information contained in the file if the decision is carried out; creating a print command to print the image indicated by the emphasis information with a decolorable recording material in a case in which it is determined that the image indicated by the emphasis information is contained in the image information contained in the file; and sending the created print command through the communication section.

  • Patent number: 10552099
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a state control unit, a position information acquisition unit, and a power control determination unit. The state control unit controls the image forming apparatus in at least a normal state and a power saving state. The position information acquisition unit determines position information of a mobile terminal, based on a signal strength in wireless communication that is performed between the mobile terminal and a radio device disposed at a predetermined position. The power control determination unit determines whether or not to change a control state from the power saving state to the normal state, based on the position information of the mobile terminal that issues a printing instruction. The state control unit changes the control state from the power saving state to the normal state, according to a determination result of the power control determination unit.

  • Patent number: 10484575
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises a peripheral image acquisition section, a face detection section, a face recognition section and a printing control section. The peripheral image acquisition section acquires an image of the periphery of the image forming apparatus. The face detection section detects a face of person from the image acquired by the peripheral image acquisition section. The face recognition section calculates a matching rate indicating a matching degree of the face of person detected by the face detection section with a face of a user registered in advance. The printing control section executes a processing relating to printing of the image forming apparatus in a plurality of stages corresponding to the matching rates according to the matching rate calculated by the face recognition section and a threshold value of the matching rate.
