Abstract: An image reading apparatus which includes an image reading section and a document conveyance section, the image reading apparatus including: a document size detector which detects a document size of the document; and a processor configured to detect whether or not a Z-fold exists in the document for which the document size is detected by the document size detector; unfold a Z-folded part of a Z-folded document for which a Z-fold is detected; and assign image data of the image to a page memory on the basis of the document size detected by the document size detector and whether or not a Z-fold is detected.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus including: a pattern detecting section which detects a specific pattern in an image; an image holding section which holds the image; an image conversion section which converts a pattern in the image into a pattern different from the specific pattern; and an output switching section which outputs an image having the pattern converted by the image conversion section for a region where the specific pattern is detected by the pattern detecting section, and outputs the image held by the image holding section for a region where the specific pattern is not detected.

Abstract: The image forming device includes a reception unit, an image forming unit, a switching unit, a detection unit, and a charging unit. The switching unit switches the image forming device between a first mode in which the reception unit is not supplied a voltage from a power source, is supplied power from a secondary battery, and receives image forming requests, and a second mode in which the image forming unit is supplied the voltage and performs image forming. The detection unit detects a value of an amount of energy of the secondary battery. In the second mode, the charging unit charges the secondary battery by supplying the voltage to the secondary battery when the value is equal to or less than a threshold value, and the charging unit boosts the voltage and supplies the boosted voltage to the secondary battery when the value is greater than the threshold value.

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory control device performs data reading/writing control on partitions of a rewritable nonvolatile semiconductor memory. The device includes an erase cycle counting unit, a read cycle counting unit, a data reading/writing unit and a control unit. The erase cycle counting unit counts the number of erase cycles in total per partition. The read cycle counting unit counts the number of read cycles that same data is read per partition. When the number of erase cycles of a first partition is equal to or larger than a predetermined number of erase cycles, and a second partition having a smaller number of erase cycles and a larger number of read cycles than the first partition is present, the control unit controls the data reading/writing unit to exchange data in the first partition and data in the second partition.
