  • Patent number: 8914654
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store information which is acquired by a negotiation with an external apparatus and is for communication via a network, a detection unit configured to detect that conditions are satisfied for switching to a power saving mode in which power consumption is smaller than in a normal power mode while the normal power mode is operating, and a notification unit configured to notify a network interface of the stored information when the conditions for switching to the power saving mode are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8489766
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected via a network to a plurality of devices and a DHCP server adapted to assign an IP address to each of the devices includes a storage unit that stores device information for each of the devices, a receiving unit that receives from a second information processing apparatus a search request for searching for a device, a search unit that searches for a device in response to the search request received by the receiving unit, a sending unit that sends a search result obtained by the search unit to the second information processing apparatus, and a control unit that updates, when a device is no longer capable of communicating via the network, device information corresponding to the device among the device information stored in the storage unit and that sends a notification for releasing the IP address assigned to the device to the DHCP server.
