Patent number: 9036176Abstract: An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) receives, from a remote terminal, information on a first operation to request the MFP to execute processing. The MFP transmits, to the remote terminal, information on a screen in accordance with the information on the first operation, and receives, from the remote terminal, a report that a screen in accordance with the transmitted information is displayed on the remote terminal. The MFP receives, from the remote terminal, information on a second operation to request the MFP to execute processing, after receipt of the information on the first operation and before receipt of the report, and decides whether to execute or cancel the processing in accordance with the information on the second operation, depending on the type of the information on the second operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Hiroshi Iwamoto, Kenichi Sawada, Takatsugu Kuno, Koichi Amiya, Yusaku Tanaka, Hiroshi Murakami

Patent number: 8982382Abstract: The present invention relates to an image formation apparatus that discards a job on elapse of an auto clear time. In the case a job is interrupted due to an insufficient balance to pay the fee for the job, the image formation apparatus judges whether the cause of the interruption can be eliminated in a short time or it takes a long time to be eliminated. If the cause takes a long time to be eliminated, the image formation apparatus extends the auto clear time to prevent the job from being discarded for the reason that the user does not have enough time to pay an additional fee.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2009Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Konica Minolta Business Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Koichi Amiya, Kentaro Nagatani, Tomoko Maruyama

Patent number: 8477351Abstract: It is determined whether the service mode is turned off. When it is determined that the service mode is turned off, the remote access job history is checked. A CPU then determines whether there is an unexecuted job. When determining that there is an unexecuted job, the CPU inquires of the PC providing an instruction to execute the job whether to re-execute the job. The CPU then determines whether an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted. When determining that an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted, the CPU re-executes the unexecuted job.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Konica Minolta Business Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tomoko Maruyama, Masahiro Imamura, Koichi Amiya, Kazuhiro Tomiyasu
