20090132707 | SERVICE PROVIDING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A service providing apparatus includes a receiving unit to receive a service request transmitted from other apparatus, a first determination unit to determine whether the other apparatus is an apparatus to be provided with a service by the service providing apparatus, a service providing unit to provide the service to the other apparatus when the first determination unit determines that the other apparatus is the apparatus to be provided with the service, a second determination unit to determine whether other service providing apparatus that is to provide a service to the other apparatus can provide the service when the first determination unit determines that the other apparatus is not the apparatus to be provided with the service, wherein the service providing unit provides the service to the other apparatus when the second determination unit determines that the other service providing apparatus cannot provide the service. | 05-21-2009 |
20090254780 | PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A processing apparatus that can accept logs from external processing apparatuses efficiently without degrading the performance of its own. The processing apparatus is connected with a plurality of external processing apparatuses for sending a first log including information on frequency of usage and a second log including information on an error, and collects the first and second logs from the external processing apparatuses. A receiving unit receives the first log sent from each of the external processing apparatuses. A calculation unit calculates a priority of each the external processing apparatuses based on the operating situation of each of the external processing apparatuses determined from the first log received by the receiving unit. A determination unit determines whether or not the second log sent by each of the external processing apparatuses should be stored based on the priority calculated by the calculation unit. | 10-08-2009 |
20100153545 | METHOD OF ASSIGNING SERVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD - To provide a method for assigning a service wherein power consumption can be reduced, and an information processing apparatus for implementing the method. The method includes: receiving a request of a service provided by a device connected to a network; checking whether or not a device providing the requested service is in a sleep state; selecting a device to be used based on the checked sleep state of the device, a service table that stores a combination of a service provided via the network and a device connected to the network and providing the service, and a power consumption table that stores a device connected to the network and power consumption of the device, under conditions of a time until the service is provided and power consumption; and issuing an instruction of providing the service to the selected device. | 06-17-2010 |
20120066294 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A data processing apparatus determines whether or not administrator authority of a user is set, and whether access is made locally or from the network. When the access is made locally, even if the user has the administrator authority, folders of all users are not displayed. The folders of all users are displayed only when the user having the administrator authority accesses from the network. | 03-15-2012 |
20120167110 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF SETTING PROCESSING PRIORITY OF ACCESS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus that gives priority to an access made by a usual manual operation for execution of original functions of the apparatus, even when automatically programmed access for index creation from an external apparatus to the storage and the access for execution of original functions occur concurrently. A CPU causes a priority to be set to each processing requested by an request. The CPU executes the processing based on the set priority, and causes a processing result to a requesting source. If the received request is a specific request, the CPU causes calculation of a number of times that a time period elapsed after returning of the response until receipt of a next processing is within a predetermined time period. The CPU determines whether or not to change the priority based on the calculated number of times. | 06-28-2012 |
20120327463 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus according to this invention stores history information of a printed job, displays a list of jobs to be reprinted based on the stored job history information, and reprints a job selected from the displayed list of jobs to be reprinted. The printing apparatus restricts reprinting based on history information of a job using data obtained from a file server on a network. | 12-27-2012 |
