20130235419 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image and a controller that controls the image forming unit, wherein the controller includes a first execution unit that executes a first program, a first main memory that includes a first non-volatile memory, is connected to the first execution unit, and stores a first start program, a first transmission and reception controller that is connected to the first bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a volatile memory, a second execution unit that is connected to the first execution unit and executes a second program, a second main memory that includes a second non-volatile memory, is connected to the second execution unit, and stores a second start program, and a second transmission and reception controller that is connected to the second bus, controls the transmission and reception of data, and includes a third non-volatile memory. | 09-12-2013 |
20150043024 | PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A processing apparatus includes following components. Processing units each operate when being supplied with power. A first detector detects an object entering a first detection area. A second detector detects an object entering a second detection area. A first controller controls power supply to the processing units and the first and second detectors. At a start of a power-saving mode, the first controller stops supplying power to the second detector and at least one processing unit and supplies power to the first detector. After the start of the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the second detector when the first detector detects an object entering the first detection area. When the second detector detects an object entering the second detection area in the power-saving mode, the first controller restarts supplying power to the at least one processing unit so as to cancel the power-saving mode. | 02-12-2015 |
