An information processing apparatus includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller is configured to control an operation of the overall information processing apparatus. The second controller is configured to control an operation of a device. When detecting a trigger of resumption from a power saving mode, the second controller notifies the first controller of the detection of the trigger, and starts to initialize a function corresponding to the trigger.

Information processing apparatus

A control system includes: a controller that controls a control unit of a control device, the control unit controlling multiple function units; and a restorer that is capable of receiving a first instruction for restoration from an energy-saving mode from a user who is in a proximate location near the controller, and a second instruction for the restoration from a user who is in a location further away than the proximate location, the restorer altering a timing for restoration of the control unit between a case where there the first instruction is received and a case where the second instruction is received.

Control system

A multiprocessor system including at least a first processor and a second processor, includes a storage unit that stores a first program executed by the first processor and a second program executed by the second processor, a memory unit that has a memory region used by the second processor, and a monitoring unit that is connected to the storage unit and the memory unit via a communication line, and, in a case where a program read from the storage unit is the second program, stores the read second program into the memory unit.

Multiprocessor system

A transmission and reception apparatus includes a first communication unit that performs communication by a first communication method, a second communication unit that performs communication by a second communication method which is higher in directivity than the first communication method and is faster than the first communication method, and a control unit that performs control such that storage confirmation information, which indicates whether data has been stored in a storage device provided in a first target machine without an error, is received through the first communication unit after the data is transmitted to the first target machine through the second communication unit, data transmission confirmation is received from the first target machine, and the data is transmitted to a second target machine through the second communication unit.

Transmission and reception apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

An information processing apparatus includes a memory that is volatile, a memory controller connected to the memory in an information exchangeable manner, and a clock enable (CKE) controller. The CKE controller controls a CKE signal in response to a request for a proxy in self-refresh control, the CKE signal being transmitted from the memory controller to the memory and being controlled to be kept low until cancellation of the proxy is requested. At a time of shifting to a power-saving mode, the memory controller stores information held by a central processing unit (CPU) in the memory and causes the memory to shift to a self-refresh mode. At a time of recovery from the power-saving mode, the memory controller requests the CKE controller for the cancellation of the proxy in the self-refresh control and thereafter cancels the self-refresh mode of the memory.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An image forming system includes image forming apparatuses that communicate with each other via a network. Each of the image forming apparatuses includes a network computer, a power saving controller for applying a power saving control in a first power saving mode in which a supply of power to a printing function portion that forms an image on a sheet is stopped and a power is fed to the network controller when the apparatus acts as a main apparatus, and applying a power saving control in a second power saving mode in which a supply of power to the printing function portion and the network controller is stopped when the apparatus acts as subordinate apparatus, and a main apparatus deciding unit for deciding the image forming apparatus out of the plurality of image forming apparatuses based on a calculation of power consumption of the plurality of image forming apparatuses.
