  • Patent number: 10270685
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8523177
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20130044345
    Abstract: A control apparatus controls a processing apparatus that executes predetermined processing. The control apparatus includes a determination unit that determines whether when executing the predetermined processing, the processing apparatus is in a state in which the processing apparatus has been powered on again after power supplied to the processing apparatus has been stopped, an input unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the processing apparatus has been powered on again, performs notification to cause a user of the processing apparatus to input authentication information to authenticate the user and inputs the authentication information in accordance with a user instruction based on the notification, and a permission unit that permits execution of the predetermined processing by the processing apparatus in accordance with the authentication information input by the input unit.
