Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle comprises a motor; a power storage device; a first power supply device connected with a power line; a charging device configured to charge the power storage device by using electric power from an external power source; and a second power supply device configured to supply part of the electric power from the external power source to auxiliary machinery via the charging device. The electrically driven vehicle performs a charging efficiency determination process that calculates a charging efficiency as a ratio of a charging power of the power storage device to an input power of the charging device, and that determines whether the charging efficiency is lower than a predetermined efficiency. When the charging efficiency determination process determines that the charging efficiency is lower than the predetermined efficiency, the electrically driven vehicle stops the second power supply device and performs the charging efficiency determination process again.

Abstract: In a control method for a processing apparatus connected to an image reading apparatus, in a case where the processing apparatus receives a cancellation instruction while the image reading apparatus performs a reading step, the processing apparatus causes the image reading apparatus to terminate the reading step and deletes image data of a page being read, and in a case where the processing apparatus receives a cancellation instruction after the image reading apparatus has performed the reading step, the processing apparatus performs controlling processing for deleting image data that has been acquired in the last reading step and has yet to be stored.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of this invention, in a system including an image reading apparatus and a server, the image reading apparatus and the server can efficiently cooperatively perform image processing with a simple arrangement. More specifically, the image reading apparatus reads an image of an original, upon receiving an image reading instruction from a user terminal via the server, according to the instruction. The apparatus analyzes whether image processing included in the instruction is executable. If executable image processing exists, the apparatus executes the image processing for image data obtained by reading the image of the original. The image data of the original or image data that has undergone the image processing is transmitted to a transmission destination together with information representing whether the image processing included in the instruction has been executed.

Abstract: To read a plurality of pages, it is necessary to notify a server of completion of transfer from an image reading apparatus and transmit a next page reading input instruction from an operation terminal to the image reading apparatus again via the server. In the above reading operation, time from completion of original reading to the start of reading of the next original is prolonged, and user operability lowers. According to an embodiment of this invention, when reading images of a plurality of pages, the first image reading instruction is input from a user terminal. After that, original placement, reading start instruction, and the like for the next page are performed from an input unit provided in the image reading apparatus. This can reduce the network communication amount and improve the throughput and user operability.

Abstract: Status information representing the status of a device which performs predetermined processing is acquired from the device. The acquired status information is stored in a memory. The status information is output in response to input of a request to output the status information of the device. When the request is input after the lapse of the first time from the time corresponding to acquisition of the status information stored in the memory, status information is newly acquired from the device in accordance with the request, and the status information already stored in the memory before the input of the request is output.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus which detects a plurality of image areas included in an original plate image to extract a minimum rectangular area including the plurality of image areas, specifies maximum eight line segments acquired by extending four sides of the rectangular area toward corresponding four sides of the original plate image, respectively, extracts pixels existing in a neighborhood area including each of the specified line segments, and determines that the rectangular area and the minimum rectangular area including the extracted pixels are the areas of the original image. With the configuration, the image processing apparatus can accurately decide only an original area even if edge information of an original extracted from a read image is unclear.
