Patent number: 9020855Abstract: A reading unit reads, from a memory card, encrypted license information and license management information corresponding thereto. A decryption unit decrypts the encrypted license information, and thereby obtains license information in plain text. An operation execution executes an operation based on the license information in plain text. The license management information indicates, for each operation for the content, a type of identifier necessary for decrypting the encrypted license information.

Patent number: 8249471Abstract: A first moving member is provided in conjunction with a toner container collecting toner not transferred on the recording medium and moves in accordance with the movement of a toner conveying unit. A second moving member is provided in conjunction with the toner container and moves in accordance with an amount of the toner accumulated in the toner container. The toner conveying unit conveys the toner toward the second moving member. A detecting unit outputs a detection signal that changes depending on the movements of the first moving member and the second moving member. A determining unit determines, based on the detection signal, whether or not at least one of the driving force supplying unit and the toner conveying unit is in an abnormal condition and whether or not the amount of the toner accumulated in the toner container has reached a predetermined accumulation level.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Eiji Kawahara

Patent number: 7953985Abstract: A memory card receives an encrypted application program from a host apparatus. The memory card includes an Integrated Circuit (IC) card unit having a tamper resistant function, and a flash memory unit. The IC card unit also includes a tamper resistant storage unit, a program acquisition unit that acquires the encrypted application program from the host apparatus, a storage control unit which stores the acquired encrypted application program in the tamper resistant storage unit or the flash memory unit, and a move control unit. The memory control unit, when the application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit is to be executed and the size of the application program to be executed in the decrypted form exceeds the size of free space of the tamper resistant storage unit, moves an arbitrary encrypted application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit to the flash memory unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yoshiko Nishimura, Kazuyuki Kashiwabara, Eiji Kawahara

Patent number: 7894730Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit; a containing unit; two detecting units; a counting unit; and a determining unit. The image forming unit is configured to form a toner image. The containing unit is configured to contain waste that is generated when the image forming unit forms a toner image. The two detecting units that are configured to detect the waste accumulated in the containing unit. The counting unit starts, when at least one of the two detecting units detects waste, counting up a count value based on the toner image forming operation executed by the image forming unit. The determining unit determines that waste accumulated in the containing unit has reached a maximum amount if the count value of the counting unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value and both of the two detecting units detects waste.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuya Okano, Eiji Kawahara
