Publication number: 20240103956Abstract: A control apparatus includes multiple processor cores connected to: a monitor that monitors whether a first processor core, the first processor core being any processor core among the multiple processor cores, is operating normally; and a memory having multiple storage areas pre-associated with each of the multiple processor cores. Each of the multiple processor cores periodically writes and updates information to the corresponding storage area in the memory, the information indicating that each of the processor cores is operating normally, and the first processor core determines whether the information in each of the storage areas in the memory has been updated by each of the multiple processor cores, and controls the monitor on the basis of a result of the determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventors: Asahito SHIOYASU, Masahiko OTSU, Kenta NOMURA, Tomoki TANIHATA, Toma TAGUCHI

Patent number: 11681481Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller is configured to control an operation of the overall information processing apparatus. The second controller is configured to control an operation of a device. When detecting a trigger of resumption from a power saving mode, the second controller notifies the first controller of the detection of the trigger, and starts to initialize a function corresponding to the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.Inventors: Tomoki Tanihata, Shinho Ikeda, Asahito Shioyasu, Hisashi Noda, Kenta Nomura

Publication number: 20210014376Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first controller that controls an overall operation of the apparatus, and a second controller that outputs an image stored in a specific area of a storage medium to a display device if a predetermined time has elapsed from activation. The second controller generates a second image and writes the second image in the specific area. If a first image is received from the first controller after the second controller writes the second image, the second controller overwrites the second image in the specific area with the first image.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinho IKEDA, Asahito SHIOYASU, Tomoki TANIHATA, Hisashi NODA, Kenta NOMURA
