Abstract: An image forming apparatus, having an SSD as an auxiliary storage device, which is capable of preventing loss of data in the auxiliary storage device caused by lapse of a retention period in a power save state or a power off state. In a case where the auxiliary storage device is determined to be an SSD based on type information that is acquired when the image forming apparatus is activated, a predicted retention period is calculated, and is set in a part of the apparatus that operates in the power save state. The part of the apparatus that operates in the power save state causes the image forming apparatus to transit from the power save state to a normal state based on the set predicted retention period.

Abstract: When a data processing apparatus according to this invention detects generation of an event to shift from the standby state to the suspended state, it saves the contents of a memory in the standby state in a non-volatile storage device in response to detection of generation of the event, and shifts to the suspended state. When power-off is instructed in the suspended state, the data processing apparatus shifts from the suspended state to the power-off state without the mediacy of the standby state.

Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus capable of preventing leakage of data held in a nonvolatile main storage memory by a malicious program or the like even if a shutdown process was not normally performed last time. If it is judged, when the image forming apparatus is started, that the shutdown process was not normally performed last time, a whole or a partial area of the main storage memory is refreshed before starting the information forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main control unit including a plurality of control units, and a sub control unit configured to respond to a request from an information processing apparatus via a network in substitution for the main control unit when the main control unit is being operated in a power saving state, wherein, in a case where the sub control unit receives a request to which the sub control unit cannot perform proxy response from the information processing apparatus, the main control unit determines a number of the control units for responding to the request among the plurality of control units and returns from the power saving state to a normal state using the control units the number of which is determined.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to control data processing, and a communication unit configured to communicate with other apparatuses. The control unit determines, before the control unit shifts to a predetermined power-saving state, a communication speed of the communication unit to communicate with the other apparatuses when the control unit is in the power-saving state, based on an amount of packets received by the communication unit, and sets the determined communication speed for the communication unit. The communication unit communicates with the other apparatuses at the set communication speed, when the control unit is in the power-saving state.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of appropriately controlling power supplies to respective parts thereof when the apparatus is remotely started over a network. When receiving data from an external apparatus via the network, a controller of the image forming apparatus decides power supplied object, among a plurality of power supplied objects of the image forming apparatus, to which power supply is to be started at startup of the apparatus, and controls such that power supply to the decided power supplied object is started.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that is capable of preventing the overwriting of an incoming packet without disconnecting the network connection. The information processing apparatus receives incoming information via a network, stores it into a storage area, and executes a response process thereto. A response processing unit executes the response process to the incoming information. A first change unit switches so that the incoming information is stored into a second storage area after the incoming information, which is a factor to shift to a power mode from a power saving mode, is stored into a first storage area. A second change unit switches so that the incoming information is stored into the first storage area after the response processing unit executes the response process to the incoming information stored in the first storage area.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus used to reduce power supply to nonvolatile memory when in power saving mode. To accomplish this, the information processing apparatus stores data in the nonvolatile memory that can be used in power saving mode to a volatile memory to which power will still be supplied while in power saving mode. Further, the information processing apparatus enables the operating system to recognize the storage area in which the data is stored as a replacement for the nonvolatile memory.

Abstract: A logical central processing unit (logical CPU) selects a target device. When the target device is shared by another logical CPU, the logical CPU determines whether the logical CPU is in charge of exclusively making diagnosis of the target device. When the target device is not shared by another logical central processing unit or when the logical CPU is exclusively in charge of making diagnosis of the target device, the logical CPU makes diagnosis of the target device and stores a result of diagnosis in a storage unit.

Abstract: It is possible to suppress a CPU showing signs of unstable operation before the OS starts. A micro program acquires error CPU information (which cannot be recognized directly by the micro program) from the service processor immediately before the termination of the micro program and making a request for suppression of the CPU showing signs of unstable operation according to the acquired error CPU information. The service processor suppresses the CPU showing signs of unstable operation before the OS starts.
