| 20090157960 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND START-UP METHOD OF THE APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus on which a non-volatile storage device is mountable is provided. The information processing apparatus comprises: a volatile storage unit; a mount unit that mounts the device; an acquisition unit configured to acquire information of the device; an estimation unit that estimates a resume time from hibernation using the device; a first control unit that controls to store the data stored in the volatile storage unit to the device if the resume time is shorter than a predetermined time and to control not to store the data stored in the volatile storage unit to the device if the resume time is longer than the predetermined time; and a second control unit that controls to read the data from the non-volatile storage unit to the volatile storage unit if the data is stored in the non-volatile storage unit. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090303536 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - After a printing process of multiple copies starts, a process on print data received from a host starts. In a continuous process, a process of performing printing on the basis of generated image data and a process of once accumulating processed image data in an external image forming device, reading the accumulated image data, and printing the image data are dynamically switched therebetween. If the time for reading the image data accumulated in the external image forming device and processing the image data is longer than the time for printing generated image data in the continuous process, the process of performing printing on the basis of the generated image data is selected. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100321707 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Parameters of image processing to be executed on image data to be formed on a sheet are set. When conveying a plurality of sheets on each of which an image is to be formed, the plurality of sheets are conveyed at a first interval or a second interval shorter than the first interval, and an image based on the image data processed based on the set parameters by an image processing unit is formed on each conveyed sheet. Control is performed such that the parameters are set when forming an image by conveying the plurality of sheets at the first interval, and a part of the parameters is set when forming an image by conveying the plurality of sheets at the second interval. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110238901 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF ENABLING SELECTION OF USER DATA ERASE METHOD, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A mechanism which makes it possible to automatically and appropriately select an erase method of erasing user data in a shorter time such that the user data can by no means be reproduced, according to the type of a connected nonvolatile storage device. An information processing apparatus determines an erase method of erasing an erase area of the nonvolatile storage device according to a management table generated based on attribute information acquired from the nonvolatile storage device. Then, the image forming apparatus erases information stored in the erase area according to the determined erase method. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110239023 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus having a storage unit configured to store data, operated in a normal mode for supplying power to the storage unit or a power saving mode for preventing power supply to the storage unit, includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not such a condition is established that the information processing apparatus is to be shifted from the normal mode to the power saving mode, and a measurement unit configured to measure an elapse time after a power source of the information processing apparatus is turned on. | 09-29-2011 |
