| 20100002267 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Two or more designated images are combined (S | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100165806 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of storage units, a mirroring control unit configured to execute mirroring processing, which includes writing processing for writing same data on each of the plurality of storage units and reading processing for reading data from either one of the plurality of storage units, and a power control unit configured to independently control supply of power to the plurality of storage units. If the supply of power to the plurality of storage units is reduced, if the mirroring control unit starts the writing processing, the information processing apparatus resumes the power supply to the plurality of storage units, and if the mirroring control unit starts the reading processing, the information processing apparatus resumes the power supply to a specific storage unit from which the data is read, and configured to execute control not to resume the power supply to the other storage unit(s). | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100166448 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on recording paper, a first control unit configured to control the image forming unit, a second control unit configured to control the image forming unit, and a power supplying unit configured to supply power, when the image forming apparatus is to operate in a normal power mode, such that the first control unit goes into a normal power state in which the first control unit can control the image forming unit, and supply power, when the image forming apparatus is to operate in a power saving mode, such that the first control unit goes into a power saving state in which the first control unit cannot control the image forming unit and the second control unit goes into a state in which the second control unit can control the image forming unit, wherein the second control unit controls the power supplying unit to supply power to the image forming unit and controls the image forming unit to perform a specific operation at predetermined timing when the image forming apparatus operates in the power saving mode. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100228931 | MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - The present invention provides a management apparatus that can control a connection of each image forming apparatus to a network so as to maintain a function (capacity) of a big box formed by a plurality of image forming apparatuses. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100277755 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONNECTED TO A PRINTING APPARATUS VIA A NETWORK AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREON A PROGRAM FOR CAUSING A COMPUTER TO EXECUTE GENERATING PRINT DATA IN THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CONNECTED TO THE PRINTING APPARATUS VIA THE NETWORK - An information processing apparatus connected to a printing apparatus via a network encrypts print data if identification information is input, and does not encrypt print data if identification information is not input. If identification information is input and the print data has been encrypted, the information processing apparatus sends a print job including the encrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network; otherwise, the information processing apparatus sends unencrypted print data to the printing apparatus via the network. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100332037 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - Air is blown with a first air amount when a processing unit is not processing a job if a first number of storage units is connected, air is blown with a second air amount when a job is executed. When a second number of storage units is connected, air is blown with a second air amount. The number of storage units connected to an information processing apparatus is detected. When a first number of storage units is detected, and a job is not processed, air blowing is executed using a first air amount. When a job is executed air blowing is executed using a second air amount, which is larger than the first air amount. When a second number of storage units, which is larger than the first number, is detected, air blowing is executed using the second air amount irrespective of whether or not a job is processed. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110069338 | PRINT SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING THE CONTROL PROGRAM - A print system which are capable of inhibiting simultaneous use of the encrypted print and the box storage to thereby increase the security of print data. A host computer has an encryption function of encrypting print data, and issues a print job for the print data encrypted by the encryption function. A print server receives the issued print job, and has a decryption function of decrypting the encrypted print data of the received print job. A printer has a storage function of storing the print data decrypted by the decryption function, and outputs the stored print data. At least one of the host computer and the print server inhibits simultaneous use of the encryption function and the storage function. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110083026 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND POWER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus, if a shift condition for shifting a power state of the information processing apparatus to a power-saving state is satisfied, performs control to reduce power supply to an access control unit and a plurality of storage units. If an execution state of a specific operation is in progress even when the shift condition has been satisfied, the information processing apparatus performs control not to reduce power supply to the access control unit and the plurality of storage units. | 04-07-2011 |
