  • Patent number: 10110763
    Abstract: A system includes an image forming apparatus and a network camera apparatus that communicates with the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect a user of the image forming apparatus and a transmission unit that, in a case where the detection unit detects the user, transmits an imaging request to the network camera apparatus. The network camera apparatus includes an imaging unit, a receiving unit that receives the imaging request transmitted from the image forming apparatus, and a control unit that, in a case where the receiving unit receives the imaging request, controls the imaging unit to image a vicinity of the image forming apparatus which has transmitted the imaging request.

  • Patent number: 9886218
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a hard disk drive and a controller that controls the hard disk drive. The information processing apparatus includes a power supply unit that supplies power to the hard disk drive, the controller, and a load resistance, a power control unit that shifts the information processing apparatus from a first power state, in which the power is supplied to the hard disk drive and the controller, to a second power state, in which the power is supplied to the hard disk drive, while limiting supply of the power to the controller that controls the hard disk drive, and a switching unit that switches between stopping supplying the power to the load resistance in the first power state and supplying the power to the load resistance in the second power state.

  • Patent number: 9148540
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus is disclosed that can specify the cause and the part of an electrical failure with an inexpensive configuration and facilitate the maintenance by a user or an administrator. Power is supplied to function units in the image forming apparatus and a value is detected by a power detection unit. A state of the image forming apparatus is specified by a first control unit that can determine, based on the specified state and the detected value, whether or not there is an electrical failure. If there is a determined electrical failure, the power is supplied separately to the function units so that the first control unit can specify an electrically failed part based on a state of the image forming apparatus estimated at the separate supply and the detected value, and can notify a user or an administrator of the specified failed part.

  • Publication number: 20150062618
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a power-on control unit configured to instruct a first voltage generation unit to generate a first voltage in accordance with a power-on instruction, determine whether or not the first voltage generated by the first voltage generation unit has become a predetermined voltage or higher, and instruct a second voltage generation unit to generate a second voltage when the power-on control unit determines that the first voltage has become the predetermined voltage or higher; and a power-off control unit configured to instruct the second voltage generation unit to stop generation of the second voltage in accordance with a power-off instruction, and instruct the first voltage generation unit to stop generation of the first voltage after a predetermined time period has elapsed from the power-off instruction.

  • Publication number: 20130301070
    Abstract: There is provided a checking apparatus being capable of readily performing re-printing while reducing an amount of storage for storing print image data to be used for checking processing. A control method for controlling the checking apparatus includes reading an image printed on a sheet by a printing apparatus, storing image data to be compared with the image read by the reading unit in a storage unit, determining whether the image printed on the sheet by the printing apparatus is correct based on the image data obtained by reading the image and the image data stored by the storage unit, judging whether the sheet has been discharged, and controlling deletion of the image data stored in the storage unit based on a determining result and a judging result.

  • Patent number: 8508775
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus that reduces a memory region for image processing and a processing load when transferring image data to image processing unit; and a control method therefor. To accomplish this, the image processing apparatus inputs an image, divides the image input by the input unit, generates a plurality of tile images, separately packetizes a body region image and a peripheral region image, generates a packet of the body region image and a packet of the peripheral region image, and performs control to store the packet of the body region image and the packet of the peripheral region image generated by the second generation unit in the storage unit in association with each other.
