Patent number: 7461277Abstract: The subject invention provides an image forming device including a main control section and a signal detection circuit for detecting presence or absence of an external signal supplied to the main control section, and further provided with an interface section for controlling external communication; a main power supply circuit; a power supply control circuit. The signal detection circuit includes a low power mode prohibition circuit for outputting a low power mode prohibition signal for voiding the request for low power consumption with respect to the power supply control circuit or the main power supply circuit while the external signal is supplied to the signal detection circuit. With this arrangement, the present invention provides an image forming device capable of appropriate transition into the low power consumption operation by hardware without use of software.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2004Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaaki Kawakami, Toshinori Tsujii, Mikiya Okada, Tsutomu Itai

Patent number: 7203432Abstract: A job processing apparatus includes a job executing section, an operating section, an interface section, and a control section. The control section shifts the job processing apparatus from a normal operation mode to a power-saving operation mode after a lapse of standby time T during which no command input to the job executing section is detected. The control section returns the job processing apparatus from the power-saving operation mode to the normal operation mode when a command input to the job executing section is detected in the power-saving operation mode. The control section utilizes standby time T1, instead of the standby time T, if a last job executed by the job executing section is according to job data input through the interface section. The standby time T1 is shorter than the standby time T.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2005Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hirohito Morioka, Mikiya Okada, Tsutomu Itai, Hirotaka Kodama
