Patent number: 10270685Abstract: The following processing is executed by a communication apparatus capable of performing wireless communication in a first communication mode in which communication is performed via an access point and a second communication mode in which communication is performed with a communication partner apparatus in a peer-to-peer mode. If communicating with the communication partner apparatus in the second communication mode, it is determined whether to concurrently execute operations in the first communication mode and the second communication mode. If it is determined to concurrently execute the operations in the first communication mode and the second communication mode, it is controlled to operate as a service providing source which provides a service in the second communication mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuyuki Iwauchi, Takashi Moriya, Shigeto Sakai, Shuji Inoue

Patent number: 8523177Abstract: When continuous-conveying control is executed in a conveying apparatus which can handle various sizes of sheet, a conveying apparatus which can efficiently detect a conveying error by a required minimum conveyed amount or conveying time according to a sheet size is provided. For that purpose, a maximum conveyed amount from start of sheet feeding of the subsequent page to determination to be a sheet-feeding error is set based on a detection result of a rear end portion on a previous page by a PE sensor. The maximum conveyed amount when the rear end portion of the previous page is detected is set smaller than the maximum conveyed amount when not detected.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigeto Sakai
