  • Patent number: 11954383
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: a communicator that executes external communication via a communication path; a hardware processor that detects a threat in the image processing device, and cuts off the communication by the communicator upon detecting the threat; a transmitter that executes communication, after the hardware processor detects the threat, to transmit a notification that the threat has been detected to a defined destination via another communication path; and a receiver that executes communication to receive communication restoration trigger information via another communication path. Once the receiver receives the communication restoration trigger information, the hardware processor executes a communication control to restore the communication by the communicator.

  • Patent number: 11245805
    Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus having an image reading device, and a post-processing apparatus having a manual staple mechanism. The manual staple mechanism is capable of performing staple processing on condition that power is supplied from the image forming apparatus to the post-processing apparatus. The image forming apparatus stops power supply to the post-processing apparatus on condition that a predetermined time has elapsed since reference timing. When the image forming apparatus reads an original with the image reading device, the image forming apparatus determines presence or absence of a staple mark in the original based on a read result. When the image forming apparatus determines that the staple mark is present, the image forming apparatus extends the predetermined time.
