Abstract: A data processing apparatus that has first to fourth power modes in which power consumption becomes larger in this order, and is capable of changing into a mode selected and set by a user. A receiving unit receives the instruction for bringing the data processing apparatus into the third power mode or the fourth power mode. A first transition unit brings, when the apparatus is working in the second power mode, the apparatus into the first power mode in response to the receiving unit receiving the transition instruction. A determination unit determines which mode the apparatus is to be brought into between the third power mode and the fourth power mode in response to the first transition unit bringing the apparatus into the first power mode. A second transition unit brings the apparatus into a power mode determined by the determination unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a selection unit configured to select a mode of processing to be executed when a power supply state of the information processing apparatus is shifted from a first power supply state to a second power supply state, a determination unit configured to determine time necessary for executing the processing based on the mode selected by the selection unit, an execution unit configured to execute the processing in the mode selected by the selection unit, and a control unit configured to control the execution unit to execute the processing again when the processing has not been completed within the time determined by the determination unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to a plurality of image processing apparatuses via a network, comprising, a transmission unit configured to transmit identification information for identifying the information processing apparatus on the network and specifying information by which a user identifies the information processing apparatus to the plurality of image processing apparatuses on the network, and a reception unit configured to be operable when the user selects the specifying information in one of the plurality of image processing apparatuses, to receive information for using the selected image processing apparatus transmitted from the selected image processing apparatus based on the identification information.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus controls a plurality of devices to perform image processing, and includes a reception unit configured to receive a job when a power supply state to each device is in a power-saving state, a determination unit configured to determine whether the received job uses a device performing a print function, and a control unit configured to, when it is determined that the device performing the print function is not used, supply power to the device performing the print function to perform predetermined initialization processing according to an elapsed time after the device performing the print function has been moved to the power-saving state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus which has a controller and an image forming unit, and which has multiple startup modes including a first startup mode and a second startup mode as startup modes for the controller. The startup time period for the second startup mode is shorter than that for the first startup mode.

A second transition unit brings the apparatus into a power mode determined by the determination unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of recovering the apparatus from a state in which software operation is abnormal to a state in which the same is normal. The information processing apparatus is provided with a CPU for receiving an instruction for turning off power of the information processing apparatus. Upon receipt of the instruction, the CPU determines whether or not it is necessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus. When it is necessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus, the CPU controls the information processing apparatus such that the power thereof is turned off, whereas when it is unnecessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus, the CPU controls the information processing apparatus such that the power thereof is not turned off.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a decryption processing unit, a backup unit, and a control unit. The decryption processing unit is configured to decrypt encrypted data read from a first storage unit storing the encrypted data. The backup unit is configured to back up the encrypted data stored in the first storage unit to a second storage unit. When the backup unit backs up the encrypted data stored in the first storage unit to a second storage unit, the control unit is configured to control the decryption processing unit to store the encrypted data read from the first storage unit, in the second storage unit without performing decrypting processing.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus in an arrangement where image processing apparatuses are connected to the same network, which is capable of upgrading a version of a common function module of the image processing apparatus while maintaining the consistency between the image processing apparatuses. An MFP connected via the network to a distribution server inquires the server about whether there is a version upgrade program for a function module of a type corresponding to the MFP. If so, the MFP acquires integrated version information on the version upgrade program from the server, updates version upgrade information on the function module based on the acquired information, acquires version upgrade information on function modules of MFPs of other types, and upgrades the version of the function module based on the acquired version upgrade information and the updated version upgrade information.
