An image processing apparatus that schedules and executes a process in response to a request for job processing includes a detection unit configured to detect a process which requests backing up of management information to be managed in the job processing, a setting unit configured to set, in a case where a process requesting data backup is detected, a caching destination to which management information requested to be backed up is to be cached to a volatile memory or a non-volatile memory based on a data amount of the management information requested to be backed up, and a cache unit configured to cache the management information in the set caching destination.

Image processing apparatus, control method for image processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus includes: a network controller configured to communicate with the external apparatus; a mechanical switch configured to switch on or off according to a switch driving signal; a control unit configured to output the switch driving signal to the mechanical switch according to a signal from the network controller; and a power supplying unit configured to supply power to the network controller and the control unit in a case where the mechanical switch is off. In a case where the mechanical switch is off and the network controller receives an instruction to turn on power from the external apparatus, the control unit outputs the switch driving signal to turn on the mechanical switch.

Information processing apparatus capable of controlling mechanical switch of power supply and control method

An image forming apparatus operable in a first power state and a second power state in which power consumption is lower than in the first power state includes a return notification unit that outputs a return notification aggregating return factors in a case where at least one of a plurality of predetermined return factors causing the image forming apparatus to return to the first power state from the second power state has occurred in the second power state, a retaining unit that retains a return factor, and a control unit that returns the image forming apparatus to the first power state from the second power state according to the return notification and acquires the return factor retained by the retaining unit.

Image forming apparatus, control method of the same, and storage medium

An image processing apparatus which is capable of preventing wasteful transmission of metadata. Metadata is registered in advance in association with a type of a transmission destination of an image data. When transmitting the image data, metadata associated with the type of the transmission destination of the image data is determined, and the image data and the determined metadata are transmitted to the transmission destination.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus has a first storage unit and a second storage unit and operates in one of a normal power mode and a power saving mode. When the information processing apparatus is operating in the power saving mode, if an error occurs in a storage process, the power mode of the information processing apparatus is switched to the normal power mode and the storage process is executed again. The storage process is a process in which when the first storage unit is replaced with a new storage unit, information equivalent to that stored in the first storage unit is stored in the new storage unit.

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

Raster image data is converted into block vector image data corresponding to blocks each having a predetermined size by segmenting the raster image data into the blocks with the predetermined size and executing vectorization processing. The input raster image data is converted into a block vector image. The converted block vector image is stored in a storage means. Transfer of the image data as a processing target in the apparatus is controlled to output the raster image data obtained by rasterizing the stored block vector image data.teh

Image processing apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium storing a program for converting raster image data into block vector image format

An image processing apparatus includes an analyzing unit configured to analyze an incomplete portion of input image data; and an obtaining unit configured to identify a storage location of original data corresponding to the input image data from the input image data, and to obtain the original data from the storage location. The original data obtained by the obtaining unit is corrected on the basis of a result of analysis by the analyzing unit to generate a complete image, and the complete image is output.

Input raster image data is divided into objects of each attribute. The division results, and charge information representing a consideration accrued from a vectorized process for the division results are displayed. It is designated whether to execute the vectorized process for the displayed division results. The vectorized process of converting the raster image data into vector data is executed on the basis of the contents of the designation.

Image processing apparatus, control method therefor, and program

When first vector image data is input, whether or not the first vector image data includes a raster image data expression part is determined. The raster image data expression part is converted into second vector image data based on the determination result. Final fourth vector image data is generated based on the converted second vector image data and third vector image data other than the raster image data expression part in the first vector image data.

Image processing apparatus and its control method, and program

It is desired that only necessary document pages be picked up from an enormous quantity of documents and copied by controlling copying operation on the basis of information designated by a user. For this purpose, a plurality of images are input, each image is segmented into objects, and an object as a search key is set. It is then determined, with respect to each of the plurality of images, whether the objects segmented from the image includes the object as the search key. Images containing the object as the search key are selectively copied out of the plurality of images.

Image processing apparatus and method

In an MFP having a displaying unit smaller than that of a PC, it is very difficult to select an editing target from a plurality of objects. To accomplish this, an image containing a plurality of objects is displayed. Objects corresponding to a position designated on the displayed image are extracted (S). Individual images corresponding to the extracted objects are laid out and displayed (S). One of the individual images which are laid out and displayed is selected (S). Image processing is executed for the selected object.

Image processing apparatus and control method thereof

This invention provides an image processing system and image processing method which allow a user to easily confirm conversion result information when image information is converted into vector data. Image information input from an input device () is vectorized by a data processing device (). Vector data which has successfully been vectorized is converted into image data. The input image information and the converted image data are combined to generate and output combined image data.

Image processing system and image processing method

A read document image is converted into first vector data. First layout structure information representing the layout structure of the first vector data is generated. The first layout structure information is changed into second layout structure information on the basis of preset layout setting information. The first vector data is converted into second vector data on the basis of the changed second layout structure information.

This invention provides an image processing system and image processing method which can promote efficient use of a memory by vectorizing all data of a representative object and, for the same or similar object, referring to the vectorized representative object and using difference data and also convert the same or similar objects at once by editing only the representative object. Input image information is vectorized. The vector data of a representative object is stored. Identity between a target object and the representative object is determined. If the two objects are identical, property information containing information about the reference destination of the vector data of the representative object is stored in place of the vector data of the target object.
