Publication number: 20240053997Abstract: An information processing apparatus that can eliminate strangeness given to a user due to mismatch of display languages of applications in changing an application screen during application cooperation. The information processing apparatus allows change of a language setting for each application after its installation. The information processing apparatus includes a request acceptor that accepts an activation request for a second application on a first application that has already installed in the information processing apparatus, a storing unit that stores a language setting of the first application into an information sharing area that is available during operations of both the first and second applications, and a change unit that obtains the language setting of the first application from the information sharing area and changes a language setting of the second application to the obtained language setting of the first application in activating the second application in response to the activation request.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: HIROYOSHI IWAYAMA

Patent number: 10234806Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive drum for bearing a developer, a charging roller that comes into contact with the photosensitive drum at a different velocity and that charges the photosensitive drum, a transfer roller that transfers a developer image on the photosensitive drum to a recording material, and a developing sleeve that supplies a developer to the photosensitive drum and that recovers a developer on the photosensitive drum after transfer. A detecting device detects information relating to injection charging, and a controller controls an amount of the fogging developer during image formation according to information detected by the detecting device while suppressing the amount of the developer recovered in the developing sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroyoshi Iwayama, Satoshi Sunahara

Patent number: 10209668Abstract: An image forming apparatus in which a developer bearing member is disposed below a cleaning member, which cleans a charging member, so as to overlap with the cleaning member when viewed in a vertical direction and includes a base body and an elastic layer covering the base body and having a width in a longitudinal direction of the developer bearing member that accommodates the entire region of the cleaning member in the longitudinal direction. In the longitudinal direction, the cleaning member is disposed at a position where the entire region thereof in the longitudinal direction is accommodated in the width of the elastic layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2018Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihisa Matsukawa, Toshiki Okamura, Kuniaki Tamagaki, Takanori Watanabe, Hiroyoshi Iwayama, Makoto Tokudome, Hideo Kihara, Naoki Hayashi

Patent number: 10095150Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a charging member, a charging voltage source, an electrostatic image forming portion, a developing device, a developing voltage source, a transfer portion, a transfer voltage source, and a controller. During image formation, the toner remaining on the image bearing member after transfer is collected into the developing device while forming an image. In a cleaning operation performed during non-image formation, while rotating the image bearing member, the controller transfers the toner from the charging member onto the image bearing member, passes the toner through the developing portion in an urged state, reverses a charge polarity of the toner to a normal polarity at a charging portion, and then transfers the toner reversed in charge polarity from the image bearing member onto the developing member at the developing portion to collect the toner in the developing device.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Hiramatsu, Yusuke Usui, Kuniaki Tamagaki, Hiroyoshi Iwayama
