摘要:
In order to estimate behavior of a person at home from a feature and a power consumption pattern of an electrical device, an on-demand power control system of the present invention includes initial human-induced probability value estimation means that estimates a state of the electrical device, and estimates an initial value of a human-induced probability of the electrical device based on the estimated state of the electrical device, human position estimation means for calling up the initial value of the human-induced probability of the electrical device and a likelihood map of this device from a memory, performing, for all samples, a process of referring to a sample human position selected from the likelihood map and calculating a weight of the device by multiplying a human position and the human-induced probability of the device, and estimating a probability of a human position at each time point until a final time; and human-induced probability re-estimation means for performing recalculation of the human-induced probability based on the human-induced probability and a human position probability, performing the recalculation of the human-induced probability until a value of the recalculation converges, and outputting the human-induced probability and the human position probability when the value converges.

Each of a plurality of regions of a display unit is provided with an access flag indicative of whether a writing operation is performed on pixels in a corresponding region. It is determined whether the corresponding operation is performed on each of the regions based on the access flag. When the corresponding operation is necessary, image data written in a memory is compared with estimated image data. As a result, when a new writing operation is necessary, the new writing operation starts to be performed on each pixel after a previous writing operation is terminated. When the writing operation is terminated on all the pixels included in the region, the state of the access flag corresponding to the relevant region is changed to a state in which the writing operation is not necessary.

A toner supply container detachably mountable to an image forming apparatus includes a container body with a discharge opening formed thereon. A sealing member, which unsealably seals the discharge opening, includes an engageable projection engageable with an engaging member provided in the image forming apparatus and a support for displaceably supporting the portion. The sealing member is moved relative to the container body away therefrom to unseal the discharge opening. The engageable projection is with the engaging member. A releasing projection, is provided in the supporting member, for receiving, from a releasing member provided in the image forming apparatus, a force for displacing the engageable projection in a direction of disengagement from the engaging member.

A flow calculation unit classifies packets of data to be transmitted according to each packet header. A stream data determination unit organizes a set of packets having the same packet header as a packet group according to the classified result by the flow number calculation unit, and determines whether to transmit with a bandwidth guaranteed according to the bit rate of the packet group. A bandwidth request command generation unit requests a bandwidth control device to reserve a bandwidth for the packet group determined to be transmitted with a bandwidth guaranteed by the stream data determination unit. Therefore, a bandwidth can be automatically reserved to allow data transmission even when no transmission condition is specified by the application.
