  • Publication number: 20220156017
    Abstract: A printing apparatus registers the printing apparatus in a cloud print service, and generates a printer queue storing a print job to be transmitted to the printing apparatus on the cloud print service. If the printing apparatus is associated with a virtual printer on the cloud print service, the printing apparatus acquires information of print jobs managed by the virtual printer from the cloud print service. If an operation for printing the print jobs managed by the virtual printer is received, the printing apparatus gives an instruction for moving a print job that is specified on the basis of at least the acquired information of the print jobs to the printer queue for the printing apparatus provided on the cloud print service, and acquires the moved print job.

  • Patent number: 11194528
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus using a print service etc., in which an operation load of a user and a load of a communication band are reduced when an error occurs. The image forming apparatus transmits an event confirmation request to a server and receives an event acknowledgement from the server to confirm whether or not a job fetch event has occurred. When an job fetch event is occurred, the image forming apparatus transmits a job acquisition request to the server to acquire print job data for executing a print job from the server. When a predetermined error occurs, the image forming apparatus stops event confirmation request processing even if the event is occurred in order to stop transmission of print job data by the server.

  • Patent number: 10919569
    Abstract: A vehicle control system installed on a vehicle executes turning control that controls a turning device configured to turn a wheel of the vehicle. The turning control includes: first turning control that generates a target trajectory and makes the vehicle follow the target trajectory; and second turning control that is executed independently of the first turning control without depending on the target trajectory. When the first turning control and the second turning control are executed simultaneously, the vehicle control system determines whether the first turning control counteracts turning by the second turning control. When the first turning control counteracts the turning by the second turning control, the vehicle control system replans the target trajectory by designating at least one of a current position and a current yaw angle of the vehicle as a starting point of the target trajectory.
