Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a plurality of functions and is adapted to make one or more functions operable by activating programs corresponding to functions. The image processing apparatus includes a selection unit adapted to select a function to be enabled in advance to the other functions when power of the image processing apparatus is turned on or when operation of the image processing apparatus is resumed from a low-power standby state, and a control unit adapted to perform control such that a program corresponding to the function selected by the selection unit is made executable in advance to the other programs.

Abstract: There is provided a power feeding apparatus including a remaining battery level reception unit configured to receive a remaining battery level of a respective secondary battery included in a respective power receiving apparatus among a plurality of power receiving apparatuses from the respective power receiving apparatuses, a power feeding time determination unit configured to determine power feeding time for the power receiving apparatuses based on the remaining battery level, and a power feeding unit configured to wirelessly feed power to the power receiving apparatuses for the power feeding time.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes a charging mode information receiving unit configured to receive, from each of a plurality of power receiving apparatuses each including a secondary battery, charging mode information indicating whether each of the power receiving apparatuses requests normal charging of the secondary battery or fast charging of the secondary battery, wherein the fast charging charges faster than the normal charging, a power supply order determination unit configured to determine a power supply order of the power receiving apparatuses based on the charging mode information, and a power supply unit configured to wirelessly supply power to the power receiving apparatuses in the order determined by the power supply order determination unit.

Abstract: A next command reference value close to a “the value L serving as a reference” is read from its own path table, and if there is the read command reference value in its own path table, then it is determined whether or not the “the value L serving as a reference” reaches the command reference value. When the “the value L serving as a reference” reaches the command reference value, if there is a waiting command of waiting for other path table, counting of the “the value L serving as a reference” is stopped. When waiting for the other path table is completed, the stop of counting of the “the value L serving as a reference” is released, the command is executed, and processing is continued.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of pieces of information from a medium, a deletion unit configured to delete a second oldest piece of information, which is next to an oldest piece of information, from the plurality of pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit, an addition unit configured to add new information to the plurality of pieces of information from which the second oldest piece of information has been deleted by the deletion unit, and a printing unit configured to print on a new medium the plurality of pieces of information resulting from the addition by the addition unit.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus secures data from third parties in event of power loss by utilizing a backup power supply to provide power while data is erased from memory. The data is stored in a nonvolatile memory. A first voltage supply unit supplies voltage to the memory, and a second voltage unit supplies voltage to the memory when the first voltage supply unit is incapable of supplying voltage to the memory. When the first voltage supply unit becomes incapable of supplying voltage to the memory, the memory is controlled to erase the data stored therein using a selected one of a plurality of erasing processes depending on the status of processing of the data.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus and a data erasing method therefor which are capable of suppressing the capacity of a backup power supply to be used (operating time) and eliminating the disadvantage that a third party steals a look at data to thereby improve security. Data is input, and predetermined processing is performed on the input data. The data is stored in a nonvolatile memory such as a HD. A first voltage supply unit supplies voltage to the memory, and a second voltage unit supplies voltage to the memory when the first voltage supply unit is incapable of supplying voltage to the memory. When the first voltage supply unit becomes incapable of supplying voltage to the memory, the memory is controlled to erase the data stored therein using a selected one of a plurality of erasing processes depending on the status of processing of the data.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus that can restore a defective area on a storage medium, and can appropriately and immediately notify the user of image data which image data written in the defective area have been destroyed. To accomplish this, when the detection of a defective sector has been started, and a defective sector is detected, a CPU is notified of the logic block address of the defective sector, and a replacement prepared in a spare area is allocated to restore the defective sector. When image data is present in the defective sector, an image data file name pertinent to the logic block address of the defective sector is stored. And when the detection process has been completed up to the last sector, an email is transmitted to the box user pertinent to the logic block address for the defective sector.
