An information processing apparatus and method is provided and controls execution of learning processing thereon. Learning data are generated in which readings of a human presence sensor serve as input values, information on receiving or not receiving any operation from an operation panel serves as success/failure flags. The success/failure flag is generated from an assessment result of a current resumption assessment model and the information on receiving or not receiving an operation, and is provided to the learning data. Accordingly, learning processing is performed using the success/failure flags provided in the learning data, thereby efficiently implementing learning.

Information processing apparatus, system, method for controlling information processing apparatus, and computer program

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.

An information processing apparatus that can avoid an IEEE802.1X re-authentication process due to a communication speed setting change made at the time of transitioning to the power-saving state and realize both of security and power-saving. Fixed link speed with which both a MFPand a communication apparatuses are compatible is set on the basis of acquired pieces of link speed setting information about the MFPand the communication apparatus. Then, 100 Mbps lower than 1000 Mbps is fixedly set on the basis of acquired power-saving setting information about the MFPwhen the power-saving setting is effective, and EEE is enabled.

Information processing apparatus, control method for the same and storage medium

An image forming apparatus which is capable of preventing degradation of operability associated with setting of job setting information. The image forming apparatus is unable to directly edit the job setting information required to execute a submitted job. The submitted job is executed based on the job setting information. In a case where user-specific setting information corresponding to identification information on a user who has logged into the image forming apparatus and corresponding to a type of the submitted job is registered in the image forming apparatus, the user-specific setting information is set as the job setting information.

Image forming apparatus that executes jobs, control method therefor, and storage medium

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.

Image displaying apparatus with changed menu based on detection of mobile information terminal placed thereon

An information processing apparatus that processes a job, the apparatus comprises: a programmable circuit unit configured to configure a logic circuit; and a processing unit configured to process the job in accordance with a job processing request, wherein the processing unit selects, in accordance with a state of the programmable circuit unit, whether to process the job by using the programmable circuit unit being configuring a logic circuit corresponding to the job, or to process the job without using the programmable circuit unit.

Information processing apparatus and method of controlling the same

An information processing apparatus capable of changing packet patterns for determining, based on a condition of proxy ARP compatibility of a connected wireless LAN access point, communication requests to which the apparatus can respond in a power saving state, and thereby maintaining the power saving state for a longer time period. A RAM of an MFP operable in the normal state and the power saving state stores packet patterns which enable the MFP to respond to packets received in the power saving state while maintaining the power saving state. The MFP acquires proxy ARP support information from a wireless LAN access point that relays communication between the MFP and an external apparatus. The MFP determines whether or not the AP can respond to a received communication request on its behalf, and changes the packet patterns based on the determination result.
