  • Patent number: 9832325
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of human body detecting sensors that detect a user, each of the human body detecting sensors having a detection area for detecting the presence of the user; an operation part that receives an operation by the user; and an erroneous detection determination part that determines an erroneous detection if the operation part does not receive the operation by the user within a predetermined time after one of the human body detecting sensors detects the presence of the user. If a number of erroneous detections of the one of the human body detecting sensors is equal to or more than a first threshold, the erroneous detection determination part sends an instruction to reduce the detection area to the one of the human body detecting sensors and sends an instruction to increase the detection area to another one of the human body detecting sensors.

  • Patent number: 9712707
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus detects a first user and a second user that approaches the information processing apparatus by using a plurality of detection devices including a first detection device and a second detection device which is different from the first detection device. The information processing apparatus includes a second user determination unit configured to determine that a user detected by the first detection device is the second user, in a case where a certain time period has elapsed since the first detection device detects the user, at which the first user has been detected, the second detection device not detecting the user during the certain time period.

  • Patent number: 9575547
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a power mode information storage unit that stores power mode information indicating whether a power mode of an electronic apparatus is a first power mode in which at least a first communication unit is operable or a second power mode in which the first communication unit is not operable and a second communication unit is operable; an update unit that updates the power mode information; a determination unit that refers to the power mode information and determines the power mode; a first acquisition unit that, if the power mode is the first power mode, obtains state information from the electronic apparatus via the first communication unit; a state information storage unit that stores the state information; and a second acquisition unit that, if the power mode is the second power mode, obtains the state information from the state information storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20130063778
    Abstract: An image processing system includes an image processing apparatus; an information processing apparatus configured to transmit an instruction on image processing to the image processing apparatus; a power supply apparatus configured to supply power to the image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a first transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the power supply apparatus, start instruction to start power supply to the image processing apparatus when an execution instruction is received, and a second transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the image processing apparatus, the execution instruction and execution information needed to perform a process when a communication with the image processing apparatus is enabled. The power supply apparatus includes a power control unit configured to start power supply to the image processing apparatus when the start instruction is received.
