An information processing apparatus comprises a detection unit detecting a moving body around the information processing apparatus and a distance to the moving body; a first image capturing unit having a first image capturing range; and a second image capturing unit having a second image capturing range, and performs authentication of the authentication target person based on captured image data. It controls so as to perform authentication based on image data captured by the first image capturing unit, and if the detected distance becomes shorter than a first distance and the authentication is not possible, it controls so as to perform authentication based on image data captured by the second image capturing unit.

An image forming apparatus that determines whether an image having coincidence with a registered image is included in an input image and controls execution of a job that uses the input image based on a result of the determination. The image forming apparatus includes an input unit that inputs a first image as a candidate of the registered image, an evaluation unit that evaluates whether the first image is suitable for use in the determination, and a control unit registers the first image as the registered image if the evaluation unit evaluates that the first image is suitable for use in the determination, and prevents the first image from being registered as the registered image if the evaluation unit evaluates that the first image is unsuitable for use in the determination.

In an image processing apparatus which generates an input signal when a mobile information terminal contacts a display surface and makes a wireless communication with the contacting mobile information terminal, it is difficult to make an appropriate display by discriminating whether a contact object is a mobile information terminal or a user's finger. To accomplish this, when a mobile information terminal () is placed on a touch panel (), this placement is recognized based on a wireless communication response (), and a processing menu for the terminal is displayed. On the other hand, if the user's finger () is placed, since no wireless communication response () is detected, it is recognized that the contact object is not the mobile information terminal (), and a general manipulation menu is displayed.

A sub-system determines, based on an input instruction to transition a power state of an information processing apparatus to a power saving state, a power state from a plurality of power states in which the sub-system can operate, and notifies the main system of a recovery period that corresponds to the determined power state and that the sub-system requires to recover from the determined power state. The main system determines, based on the recovery period notified from the sub-system, a power state that the main system transitions to from a plurality of power states in which the main system can operate.

Managing apparatus power states

An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of this invention includes a wide IO memory device stacked on an SoC die that includes a CPU, detects the temperatures of multiple memories included in the wide IO memory device, and when transitioning to a power saving mode, specifies a memory with a lower temperature, based on the detected temperatures, as the memory to be used with priority in the power saving mode, and stores information for returning from the power saving mode to a normal mode in the specified memory.

When a printing fee is changed, if a printing fee is changed to one for a color amount that is smaller than an actual color amount of an input image, an image processing apparatus automatically performs image processing in order to maximize the color amount at the selected printing fee and prints an image processing result.

Image processing apparatus capable of determining color amount, image processing method, and program

A system including an image forming apparatus and a terminal for displaying an image acquired by a capturing unit on a display, wherein the terminal comprises: a unit which transmits a current position information, a unit which receives the distribution data in response to the transmission of the current position information, a unit which performs display control such that, when an image including the image forming apparatus is displayed on the display, a message included in distribution data distributed by the image forming apparatus and received from the server is superimposedly displayed on the image, a unit which accepts a print instruction made after the message displayed on the display is selected, and a unit which transmits print data to the image forming apparatus that distributed the distribution data containing the selected message according to the print instruction.

Image forming apparatus that changes direction of image on display based on at least coordinate information and facing direction of a capturing unit

An image processing apparatus which can rotate input image data in a compressed state, comprises a storage unit which stores a rotation angle of the image data; a holding unit which holds, for each tile including blocks each including a predetermined number of pixels in the image data, information on a color arrangement in the block obtained by compressing the image data, color information corresponding to the color arrangement, and information on a position of the tile in the image data; and a rotation unit which converts the color arrangement in the block in accordance with the rotation angle of the image data stored in the storage unit to form rotated image data based on the converted color arrangement, color information corresponding to the color arrangement, and information on a position of the tile.

Image processing for rotation of compressed image data

A data processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input a job to be executed by the data processing apparatus, a processing unit configured to process the job input by the input unit, a power measurement unit configured to make power measurement of the data processing apparatus, and a storage unit configured to store a measurement time of the power consumption by the power measurement unit.

Data processing apparatus and power consumption amount management method

An information processing apparatus includes a control unit to perform control and a communication control unit to operate as a normal mode for transmitting and receiving information concerning the information processing apparatus. At a time of startup of the information processing apparatus, the control unit executes a plurality of processing, and writes information indicating that processing has been completed each time processing is completed. At the time of startup, an operation mode of the communication control unit is shifted to a monitoring mode wherein the communication control unit monitors occurrence of abnormality based on presence/absence of information indicating that processing has been completed. In response to abnormality having occurred, the communication control unit outputs occurrence of the abnormality. In response to certain information being written into the predetermined storage area, the operation mode of the communication control unit is shifted to the normal mode from the monitoring mode.

Information processing apparatus, printing apparatus, and monitoring method

An image processing apparatus comprises: an unit configured to sequentially determine, as a processing object, each of blocks, and to compare color data of respective pixels in the block that is the processing object, thereby specifying a pattern flag indicating an arrangement pattern of color data; an unit configured to extract first color data from a pixel, and further to extract second color data to fourth color data corresponding to the arrangement pattern; an unit configured to hold the pattern flag of each of the blocks, the first color data, and the second color data to fourth color data; and an unit configured to specify addresses in a memory, at which the first color data and the second color data to fourth color data in a block to be composed are held.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer-readable medium

A parallel processing processor system includes multiple processor elements, a main memory, and a shared memory, whose latency with the processors is less than the latency between the main memory and the processors. Each of the multiple processor elements has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and an instruction cache. Firmware executed by the DSPs is transferred from the main memory to the shared memory and is shared by the DSPs. Updating of the instruction caches in the case where a cache miss has occurred is performed by, for example, copying, into the instruction caches, the content of the shared memory corresponding to an address accessed by a DSP.
