Abstract:
A controller acquires communication destination information including at least a first external apparatus connected via a first communication interface or a second external apparatus connected via a second communication interface. The controller performs initialization of the first communication interface and the second communication interface. The initialization includes: in response to determining that an external apparatus indicated by the communication destination information is the first external apparatus, after completing initialization of the first communication interface, shifting to a communication waiting state in which transmission and reception of data is acceptable; and in response to determining that the external apparatus indicated by the communication destination information is the second external apparatus, shifting to the communication waiting state after completing initialization of the second communication interface. The controller performs communication with at least the first external apparatus or the second external apparatus. The communication includes transmission and reception of the data.
Abstract:
A motor controller includes: a velocity calculation unit for obtaining an angle θ(n), which shows a rotation position, and an angular velocity ω(n) of a rotor at a time point n; a compensation amount calculation unit for calculating a compensation angle Δθ by which the rotor advances from the time point n to a (n+1)th control cycle (a control cycle starting from a time point n+1), based on an angular acceleration a(n) of the rotor, an angular velocity ω(n) of the rotor at the time point n and a time length T of the control cycle; and a PWM inverter for controlling a voltage to be applied to a coil such that a rotating magnetic field based on a rotation position of the rotor advanced by the compensation angle Δθ from the rotation position of the rotor at the time point n is formed in the (n+1)th control cycle.
Abstract:
This image forming apparatus includes, for example, a first control unit provided on a first control board and configured to comprehensively control the image forming apparatus, a second control unit provided on a second control board different from the first control board and configured to control a function provided by the image forming apparatus, and an image processing unit provided on the second control board and configured to execute image processing. The second control unit causes the image processing unit to execute initialization processing when power is supplied, stops supplying clocks to the image processing unit upon completion of the initialization processing, and resumes supplying clocks to the image processing unit in accordance with generation of a start event of instructing to start a function provided by the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
A system which enables an image forming apparatus to give priority to executing a job sent from a mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal sets an operating mode of the image forming apparatus. When a near-field wireless communication is started by the mobile information terminal coming close to the image forming apparatus, information on the set operating mode is sent to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus provides operating mode shifting control based on the information on the operating mode sent from the mobile information terminal by the near-field wireless communication.
Abstract:
An information processing system includes an operating unit that receives an input in response to a user operation and that runs under a first operating system; and a main body that runs under a second operating system and operates in response to the input received by the operating unit. The main body includes a generation unit that generates a command to direct rendering of a screen corresponding to an application being executed, and a command transmission control unit that provides control to transmit the command to the operating unit. The operating unit includes a receiving unit that receives the command from the main body, a screen rendering unit that renders the screen in accordance with the command received by the receiving unit, a display unit that displays the screen rendered by the screen rendering unit, and a reboot unit that reboots the operating unit in asynchronization with the main body.
Abstract:
The present invention manages a reset type and a reset condition state, the reset type indicating whether or not a screen reset operation is necessary when each synchronized setting value is synchronized. This information is confirmed when synchronization is performed, and necessary reset processing such as log-out processing is executed if necessary.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus equipped with a sleep function and for forming an image using an image forming unit and a control method thereof. The image forming apparatus includes a control unit that controls the image forming unit. When a job is received in a sleep state, a port number of the received job is discriminated, whether or not to perform initialization processing of the image forming unit is determined based on the discriminated port number, and in a case that it is determined that initialization processing of the image forming unit is necessary, initialization processing of the image forming unit is started and thereafter the control unit is controlled to start processing of the job.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus which is capable of selecting power states that suit user's intention for a low-power state and a job executable state. A first power-saving state or a second power-saving state in which a smaller amount of power is consumed than in the first power-saving state is set as a power-saving state to which the printing apparatus is shifted when a shifting factor is detected. A first returning method for returning the printing apparatus from the power-saving state when a returning factor that causes the printing apparatus to return from the power-saving state is detected, or a second returning method for returning the printing apparatus from the power-saving state when a function to be used is selected on a function selecting screen displayed in response to detecting the returning factor is set. When the first power-saving state has been set, the first returning method is set.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that speeds up starting. The image forming apparatus is provided with a main storage part and an auxiliary storage part. A boot loader that is stored in the auxiliary storage part is expanded to the main storage part. The boot loader that has been expanded is executed to generate a defective area table for the auxiliary storage part. When a kernel of an OS that is stored in the auxiliary storage part is expanded, the kernel is caused to be referred the defective area table that has been generated. When the kernel is executed, the defective area table is not generated. Thereby, the defective area table generated by the boot loader can be used by the OS, which allows the boot time to be shortened.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus without bothering a user, even when it is necessary to disconnect and restart the image forming apparatus which has been connected to the information processing apparatus so as to transmit and receive maintenance work data for performing the maintenance work on the image forming apparatus. When the image forming apparatus is required to be disconnected and reconnected after restarting the image forming apparatus during connection with the information processing apparatus, identification information for identifying an information processing apparatus to be reconnected is stored in a storage section. The image forming apparatus is reconnected to the information processing apparatus identified by the identification information stored in the storage section after the image forming apparatus is restarted.
