  • Publication number: 20220357899
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a memory, a control device, and an image forming device. The control device includes a processor and functions as a memory manager and a controller through the processor executing a control program. The memory manager allocates amounts of the memory depending on different types of processing constituting a job to create a plurality of memory regions. The controller executes the job using at least one of the plurality of memory regions. The image forming device executes an image forming job of forming an image on a sheet under control of the controller.

  • Patent number: 10999475
    Abstract: The occurrence of more and the deterioration of performance are suppressed. A data compression unit stores identification data indicating the presence or absence of periodicity, and printing data correlated with the identification data in a first memory area of a RAM. A color conversion processing unit that performs speculation processing stores printing data that has undergone color conversion processing corresponding to printing by a printer in a second memory area of the RAM. A screen processing unit that performs speculation processing performs AM screen processing on printing data. The screen processing unit confirms the identification data stored in the first memory area of the RAM by the data compression unit, and in a case where the identification data indicates there is periodicity, instructs to perform color conversion processing corresponding to printing by a copier on printing data, and performs FM screen processing on the printing data.

  • Publication number: 20200110636
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a CPU that executes the process execution program to function as a plurality of process execution units as threads and an execution control unit. The plurality of process execution units use the CPU to execute a process. The execution control unit controls executing of the process by the plurality of process execution units. The execution control unit sets a CPU usage priority level for each of the plurality of process execution units. The execution control unit changes the CPU usage priority level of the job of a type other than a specific type to a priority level that is equal to or less than a specific priority level, when the job of the specific type and the job of the type other than the specific type are simultaneously executed.

  • Patent number: 10609236
    Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus that suppresses degradation of performance of processing up to completion of printing while suppressing the occurrence of moire. A data-compression unit stores identification data indicating the presence or absence of periodicity obtained by analyzing printing data, and printing data correlated with the identification data in a first memory area of a RAM. A color-conversion-processing unit that performs a speculative process, causes printing data that has undergone a color conversion process corresponding to printer printing to be stored in a second memory area of a RAM. A screen-processing unit that performs a speculative process, performs an AM screen process on printing data.

  • Publication number: 20190258522
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a nonvolatile memory, a count processing portion, and an execution processing portion. The count processing portion is configured to count, for each cycle of a specific time period, a write count that is a number of times data has been written to the nonvolatile memory. The execution processing portion is configured to execute a specific process when the write count that is counted during the specific time period by the count processing portion reaches a specific count.
