摘要:
A communication controller controls non-contact communication with an external device via an antenna while at least one of first and second power is supplied. A first circuit electrically connects a first power supply to a communication node. A second circuit electrically connects a second power supply to the communication node. The first circuit includes a first electrical component configured to prevent second power from being supplied to a particular target electrically connected to the first power supply while the second power is supplied to the communication node. The communication controller communicates with the communication node in a certain data communication method while the second power is supplied to the communication node. In response to reception of electric power from the external device via the antenna, the second power supply supplies the second power to the communication controller, and supplies the second power to the communication node through the second circuit.

An image forming apparatus which, to the extent possible, prevents an operation for protecting a printer engine (205) from being uncompleted before power to the printer engine (205) is shut down due to cancellation of a process that should be carried out by the printer engine (205). When a predetermined time period has elapsed since an instruction to reduce power consumption was detected, power to the printer engine (205) is shut down. When the instruction is detected, a canceling instruction for canceling the process that should be carried out by the printer engine (205) is issued to the printer engine (205). Responsive to this, a cancellation process for the process is started, and an engine protecting instruction for protecting the printer engine (205) without waiting for completion of the cancellation process is issued to the printer engine (205). After the operation for protecting the printer engine (205) is carried out, power to the printer engine is shut down.

An image forming apparatus (10) includes an image forming unit (14) configured to form an image on a sheet based on image data, a control unit (401) configured to control driving of the image forming unit (14), and a power supply unit (410, 411, 412) configured to, if a factor for shifting from a power saving state to a standby state is detected, supply power to the image forming unit (14) and the control unit (401). If a first type of factor is detected as the factor in the power saving state, the power supply unit supplies power to the control unit (401) and the image forming unit (14), and the control unit (401) restricts the driving of the image forming unit (14). If an instruction to perform a function of forming an image on a sheet is accepted, the control unit cancels restriction of the driving of the image forming unit (14).

Disclosed is a power supply device (80) that includes a controller (108) that performs a shutdown sequence; a first power supply unit (104) that generates first power and second power; a power-supply switch unit (106) that turns on or turns off a supply of the first power to the controller (108); a switch unit (114) that turns on or turns off a supply of the second power to the controller (108); a determination unit (1082) that determines whether the shutdown sequence is completed; and a signal transmission unit (1084) that transmits a switch-OFF signal to the switch unit (114) for turning off the supply of the second power to the controller (108) when the power-supply switch unit (106) turns off the supply of the first power to the controller (108) and the determination unit (1082) determines that the shutdown sequence is completed.

A method for providing electrical power for scanner heads (122) in a paper scanner (102) includes generating electrical power from the movement of the scanner heads (122) and providing at least a portion of the electrical power to the scanner heads (122). The scanner heads (122) are operational using the provided electrical power.

An object of the invention is to provide an image processing device having a sub-system performing a power saving control to support the use of a USB device or provided to allow the supporting of the use of a USB device, in which operational mismatching which may occur at a start of a the power saving mode between the USB device and a USB device driver provided in the main system of the image processing device can be effectively suppressed. A state of the USB device driver before the mode of the image processing device is changed to the power saving mode is held, and, when the state of the USB device acquired after the mode of the image processing device returns from the power saving mode differs from the held state of the USB device driver, an estimated state-transition sequence for changing a state of the USB device driver is determined by an ACPI driver based on a result of comparison of the held state of the USB device driver and the acquired state of the USB device, thereby changing the state of the USB device driver according to the estimated state-transition sequence.
摘要:
A combined or standalone hand held A/V camera system that allows combined or standalone operation and is essentially comprised of a main unit, an A/V output unit and a hand-held A/V camera unit; wherein, each unit is separately provided a portable battery source, and a wired or wireless transmission device when each unit is in standalone operation mode so to provide more flexible application since all the units permit combined or standalone operation.

An invented battery-operating multifunctional apparatus in use for such as office automation provides an adequate threshold level thereby to detect a low energy state of the battery by discriminating whether species of a head loaded on a carriage unit 7 is an ink head 401 for printing the characters or a scanner head 402 for reading the image pictures. To attain the purpose, the threshold value of the low battery state is lowered for the scanning operation compared with for the printing operation.

In an apparatus that has a main power supply and a sub-power supply and that halts a main power supply in the standby state, the main power supply is turned on for an incoming call for facsimile communication, while the main power supply is not turned on for an incoming call for speech communication. Therefore, the unnecessary turning on and off of the main power supply can be prevented. When the DRPD (Distinguish Ringing Pattern Detect) service is provided, a plurality of telephone numbers are assigned to a single communication line, and a plurality of call signals whose pattern differ are employed for receiving calls. When one of these telephone numbers is used for facsimile and another telephone number is used for a telephone, an incoming call can be identified as being either for facsimile or for telephone by distinguishing between the patterns of the call signals. When the pattern of the call signal is for facsimile, the main power supply is turned on to perform data communication. When the pattern of the call signal is for telephone, the main power supply is not turned on.
