Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for transmitting an installation set of a printer driver to another information processing apparatus, comprises decision unit adapted to decide whether an installation set that activates a function expansion module is to be transmitted to the other information processing apparatus; and transmitting unit adapted to transmit an installation set in which the function expansion module is activated to the other information processing apparatus if the decision unit has decided that the installation set that activates the function expansion module is to be transmitted, and transmits an installation set in which the function expansion module is not activated to the other information processing apparatus if the decision unit has decided that the installation set that activates the function expansion module is not to be transmitted to the other information processing apparatus.
Abstract:
A printing control apparatus is provided which can produce an appropriate copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image by adding a monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern even if monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which a color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set. When the monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which the color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set, and if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern color is output with its color unchanged, the color is not converted into 100% black. Considering this, when a forced monochrome mode is selected, even if the user's setting for the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is color, the color is changed to monochrome (black) before output. If the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is for color, the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is changed to the monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting so that the printing processing is performed in the monochrome mode using the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus generates printing image data of a printing image and copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern-image data of a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image to be added to the printing image. The copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image includes a latent image and a background image. The apparatus includes a selecting unit and a printing-data generating unit. The selecting unit selects either the transparent-printing designation or overlay-printing designation, the transparent-printing designation is used for generating printing data so that the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is superimposed on the printing image, and the overlay-printing designation is used for generating printing data so that the printing image is superimposed on the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image. The printing-data generating unit generates printing data based on the printing designation selected by the selecting unit.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus working in pause states containing at least both a suspension state and a hibernation state, may include a time counting unit for counting time elapsed in the suspension state from a transition to the suspension state, and a transitioning unit for transitioning to the hibernation state if the elapsed time has exceeded a predetermined period of time.

Considering this, when a forced monochrome mode is selected and a user's setting for the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is color, the user is notified to change a printing mode. Otherwise, the user is notified that the setting of the printing mode and the setting of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern are conflicting.

Abstract:
An FET is turned ON with supply of a power Vcc to a sensor started, and a signal indicating a result of detection is inputted from the sensor to a GPI terminal of an MCU. After supply of the power Vcc to the sensor is started, the MCU enters the sleep state, and the state is maintained until a normal detection result is outputted from the sensor. When the sensor starts outputting a normal detection result, the MCU returned from the sleep state upon an interruption by a timer, and sampling is made for an output from the sensor. When sampling is performed, supply of the power Vcc to the sensor is stopped with the CMU set in the sleep state. The present invention can be applied to a portable type of information processing apparatus such as a mobile telephone and a PDA.
Abstract:
The number of colors used in the object image indicated by a raster image rendering command is counted. The format of the object image is then converted according to the number of counted colors. The data size of the raster image is then reduced without impairing the quality of the raster image, thereby increasing processing performance.
