A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus and a mobile terminal, wherein when the mobile terminal receives a packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus, it determines whether or not a login condition for transmitting a login request is satisfied based on a received signal strength of the packet, and it transmits the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it determines that the login condition is satisfied, and does not transmit the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it is determines that the login condition is not satisfied.

Communication system, mobile terminal, method of controlling the mobile terminal, and storage medium

A communication apparatus connectable to a network using a first wireless LAN module includes an interface configured to connect a second wireless LAN module and at least one controller configured to function as a unit that uses the second wireless LAN module for network connection without using the first wireless LAN module for network connection based on a fact that the second wireless LAN module is connected to the interface.

Communication apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

An electronic circuit board includes an antenna pattern for wireless communication and an electrostatic removing member. The antenna pattern is arranged on a first surface of the electronic circuit board, the electrostatic removing member is arranged on a second surface of the electronic circuit board, the second surface being on a side opposite to the first surface, and the electronic circuit board is to be incorporated in a console unit of a printing apparatus.

Electronic circuit board

A printing apparatus includes a card reader that reads a card for user authentication, a near field communication (NFC) tag, a memory that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to determine whether the card reader reads the NFC tag and determine, based on a result of the determination, an operation method of the NFC tag.

Printing apparatus including NFC tag, method related thereto, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus, and a method of controlling the same, determine whether or not a second reader for authentication is connected, and, in a case where it is determined that the second reader for authentication is connected, control the information processing apparatus to use the second reader for authentication rather than a first reader for authentication.

Information processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium for performing operations based on whether an externally-attached device is connected

An information processing apparatus operable in a first power state and in a second power state in which power consumption is lower than that in the first power state includes a near-field wireless communication unit configured to be driven by electric power induced by a radio wave from a mobile terminal, and communicate with the mobile terminal when the information processing apparatus is in the second power state. The near-field wireless communication unit sends, if a command received from the mobile terminal in the second power state is a command of a first type, a response corresponding to the command to the mobile terminal in the second power state, and if the received command is a command of a second type, performs control so as to supply electric power to a portion necessary for sending a response corresponding to the command to the mobile terminal.

Information processing apparatus, method for controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

There is provided an information processing apparatus which validates addition of hardware even if the addition takes place before activation of the apparatus, a control method therefor, and a program. To accomplish this, the information processing apparatus includes a monitoring circuit that is supplied with a power from a backup power supply, monitors addition of the hardware, and temporarily holds, when addition of the hardware occurs, information of the addition. If the information of the addition is held, the information processing apparatus initializes the added hardware in activation of the information processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus that validates added hardware, control method therefor and storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet, a first control unit configured to control the image forming apparatus, a second control unit configured to control the image forming unit based on control of the first control unit, and a signal output unit configured to output a control signal for controlling an operation of the image forming unit, when the image forming apparatus is in a power saving state in which power supply to the first control unit is stopped, wherein the second control unit performs a specific operation for maintenance of the image forming unit, according to the control signal output from the signal output unit, when the image forming apparatus is in the power saving state in which power supply to the first control unit is stopped.

Image forming apparatus and control method thereof

An apparatus includes a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a setting unit configured to set a level of data deletion used for executing a job, an identification unit configured to identify a storage unit to be used for the job, and a control unit configured to, if the set level is a predetermined level and the identified storage unit is the first storage unit, store data of the job into the first storage unit and overwrite the stored data when the job is executed, and configured to, if the set level is the predetermined level and the identified storage unit is the second storage unit, encrypt data of the job and store the encrypted data into the second storage unit when the job is executed.

Information processing apparatus, control method of the information processing apparatus and program

The present invention is directed to an image forming apparatus which can reduce power supply to a first control unit when the image forming apparatus operates in a power saving mode and cause an image forming unit to perform a specific operation without using the first control unit, and a control method thereof.

An information processing apparatus, when a shift condition for shifting a power state of the information processing apparatus to a power-saving state is satisfied, performs control to reduce power supply to a mirroring control unit and a plurality of storage units. Even when the shift condition has been satisfied, in a case that rebuild operation for the plurality of storage units is in progress, the information processing apparatus does not perform control to reduce power supply to the mirroring control unit and the plurality of storage units.

Power supply unit configured to not control a power supply from reducing the power state to a mirroring unit and storage units during a rebuild operation even when such power reducing state is satisfied

A control apparatus includes a state change detection unit configured to detect a state change of a particular unit and to output a state change information indicating the state change; a state detection unit configured to detect a state of the particular unit; a storage unit operable with electricity supplied by a battery and configured to store information indicating that the state change information was input; and a control unit operable with electricity supplied by a power supply different from the battery configured to determine whether the information indicating that the state change information was input is stored in the storage unit during the off-state of electricity supplied by the power supply and, when it is determined that the information is stored, to acquire the state detected by the state detection unit.

Control apparatus, state detection method of control apparatus, storage medium, and program therefor
