An object of the present disclosure is to provide a mechanism capable of performing thickening processing of an object irrespective of the color of a line even in a case where the black over print is valid. One embodiment of the present invention is an image forming apparatus comprising a control unit configured to control whether or not to perform thickening processing to thicken an object in an upper layer and an object in a lower layer based on a raster operation code designating drawing processing in a case where the object in the upper layer and the object in the lower layer overlap, wherein the control unit: does not perform the thickening processing in a case where a value of the raster operation code is MERGEPEN and a color of the object in the upper layer is not a black color.

Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and storage medium

A print bot service analyzes a character string received from a message application service and input from a user by using a keyword for each language associated with printing, determines a language used in the character string, and in accordance with the determined language, switches a language used in a message transmitted to the message application service.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Provided is a battery control device that can accurately detect a state of charge even if characteristics relating to the state of charge change as a result of battery degradation. This battery control device is provided with map data describing the correspondence relationship between an open-circuit voltage and a state of charge of the battery and outputs different state-of-charge values for the same open-circuit voltage according to the amount of elapsed time.
