  • Patent number: 10691379
    Abstract: A printing apparatus capable of improving user-friendliness when the user inputs a print job via wireless direct communication in a case where a setting of reservation printing is active. The printing apparatus has a wireless direct communication function and a reservation function for reserving a received print job. A setting unit sets whether or not to use the reservation function. A determination unit determines whether or not the print job received by the printing apparatus is a print job received by the wireless direct communication function. A control unit prints the received print job without reservation according to determination by the determination unit that the received print job is a print job received by the wireless direct communication function, even in a case where use of the reservation function has been set by the setting unit.

  • Patent number: 10659429
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which can reduce the trouble of operation since a user does not have to irregularly operate a reconnection operation. A printing device 100 as the information processing apparatus includes a DHCP server function and distributes different IP addresses to external devices respectively. If a number of external devices connected to the printing device 100 in the IP layer level has reached a first connection number, when an IP address distribution request is sent from a first external device after a connection to the first external device in the wireless link layer level is established, an IP address is not controlled to be distributed to the first external device. If not, the IP address is controlled to be distributed to the first external device so that the connection to the first external device in the IP layer level becomes available.

  • Publication number: 20200070875
    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.

  • Patent number: 10540125
    Abstract: There is provided a technique of controlling, in a printing apparatus that has an access point function, the operation state of the access point function in accordance with the setting of connection information required for wireless direct connection to the printing apparatus. As the setting of the connection information required for the wireless direct connection, the printing apparatus executes a fixed SSID setting or a one-time SSID setting. If the fixed SSID setting is executed, the printing apparatus causes a wireless LAN I/F to start an access point operation in accordance with the activation of the printing apparatus. If the one-time SSID setting is executed, the printing apparatus causes the wireless LAN I/F to start the access point operation in accordance with a start instruction by a user.
