  • Patent number: 11750758
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a power supply unit, and a controller. The acquisition unit acquires failure information for the information processing apparatus via a wireless communication line from a management apparatus holding failure information. The power supply unit supplies power to the acquisition unit when the main power supply is not on. The controller exerts control in such a manner that, when the acquisition unit acquires the failure information from the management apparatus in the state in which the main power supply is not on, only a subset of functions of the apparatus are activated by supplying power from the power supply unit, and a process for limiting use of a function related to the failure is performed.

  • Patent number: 10547764
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes plural communication interfaces, a specifying unit, a network determining unit, and a transmission controller. The plural communication interfaces are individually connected to plural communication networks having different security levels. The specifying unit specifies a destination terminal to which a file stored in a data memory is to be transmitted. The network determining unit determines a communication network, among the plural communication networks, via which the file is to be transmitted to the destination terminal. The transmission controller prohibits transmission of the file to the destination terminal in a case where a security level set to the file is higher than a security level set to the communication network determined by the network determining unit.

  • Publication number: 20150234623
    Abstract: A print-command support device includes an accepting unit, an authenticating unit, a receiving unit, and a processing unit. The accepting unit accepts user information related to a user of a printing apparatus. The authenticating unit authenticates the user based on the user information. The receiving unit receives request information from a print command device, which displays information related to printing apparatuses and selects one apparatus therefrom to command the apparatus to perform printing. The request information is for requesting transmission of the information related to the apparatus. The processing unit performs a transmission or determination process in accordance with reception of the request information. The transmission process is for transmitting the apparatus-related information and information related to authentication by the authenticating unit to the print command device.

  • Patent number: 8922814
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determining unit and a processor. The determining unit determines, upon detecting that a specific printing device is not checking whether print instruction information indicating an instruction to print a document in the specific printing device is retained in a service which generates print instruction information indicating an instruction to print a document in a specified printing device, that the specific printing device is not in a checking state in which it is intermittently checked whether print instruction information is retained in the service. The processor performs processing for allowing the specific printing device to shift to the checking state if the determining unit has determined that the specific printing device is not in the checking state.

  • Patent number: 8593656
    Abstract: The information processing system includes: an information processor operating in an active state and a power saving state consuming less power than the active state, and recovering to the active state by receiving a signal in the power saving state and processing information in the signal; a signal transmitting device transmitting a signal to the information processor; and a communication line establishing communication between the information processor and the signal transmitting device. The signal transmitting device transmits the signal after appending, to a predetermined region inside the signal, the identification information for identifying a processing content of the signal.

  • Patent number: 8370657
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives, from an external device via a communication line, a signal requesting provision of various types of services; a processing unit that when the receiving unit receives the signal in a setting period of a power saving state where power consumption is lower than in a running state, returns to the running state to process the signal and provide a service corresponding to the signal; and a memory that stores a content of the service provided by the processing unit and a content of a request requested by the signal, the content of the service and the content of the request being correlated respectively, wherein when the request received by the receiving unit in the setting period of the power saving state matches the content of the request stored in the memory, the processing unit reads the content of the service correlated with the content of the request from the memory and provides the service corresponding to the content of the service t
