Abstract: In response to receiving an acquisition request for acquiring wireless connection information from an external apparatus, it is determined whether or not a sensor for detecting a nearby object has detected an object. If it is determined that the sensor has detected an object, the wireless connection information is transmitted to the external apparatus. If it is determined that the sensor has not detected an object, the wireless connection information is not transmitted to the external apparatus.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus which is capable of appropriately providing notification about a connecting state and an operating state of a wireless communication unit, and reducing power consumption. Upon receiving a beacon signal from a wireless communication access point with a predetermined period, a notification unit provides notification that the wireless communication unit is linked to the wireless communication access point. Based on a time corresponding to the predetermined period, the wireless communication unit is returned into a first state from a second state in which a smaller amount of power is consumed than in the first state. When the wireless communication unit lies in the second state, the notification unit is intermittently disabled, and when the wireless communication unit returns from the second state into the first state, the notification unit is disabled.

Abstract: According to the claimed invention, an image forming apparatus comprises an image forming unit which forms an image represented by data of a specific format; a reception unit which receives print data of each page containing object data representing each of a plurality of types of objects; a data rasterization unit which has object conversion units which convert the object data into data of the specific format; a composition unit which composites data of the specific format corresponding to the object data converted to page data of the specific format containing the object data; and a control unit which inputs the page data to a subsequent processing unit for each page to use the page data for image formation by the image forming unit, wherein the data rasterization unit converts object data into data of the specific format regardless of a break of each page containing the object data.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus has an interpreter environment for dynamically implementing a program constructed based on a command set defined independently of a native command group, in a native environment constructed based on the native command group processed by a processor configuring hardware. The apparatus generates an intermediate data stream in each of a plurality of stages into which an input data stream is divided in interpretation in the native environment and filters the intermediate data stream to generate a filtered data stream in the interpreter environment.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a data transmission device that can transmit data to a destination contained in pre-stored destination information, the data transmission device comprises a determining section that, when the device is instructed to transmit data, determines whether or not destination information contained in the transmission instruction was updated after the last data transmission carried out with reference to the destination information; and a notifying section that, if the determining section determines that the destination information was updated after the last data transmission to the destination, notifies a user having given the transmission instruction that the destination information has been updated.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a number of processing modules which apply a process to predetermined data in inputted print data; a detecting unit configured to detect a processing module that has performed a process during processing by the plurality of processing modules of print data inputted in a predetermined mode; and a setting unit configured to make a setting that enables a processing module detected by the detecting unit, after the end of the predetermined mode.
