An electric power supplying device includes a main power supply that supplies electric power to each component of an apparatus, an auxiliary power supply that supplies electric power to an assisted component in the apparatus, the assisted component requiring power supply during start-up time of the apparatus and having a whose start-up time being equal to or longer than a predetermined period of time, a discharging control circuit that controls the auxiliary power supply to cause the auxiliary power supply to output a voltage, the output voltage being lower than a voltage output by the main power supply and being equal to or more than a lower limit voltage of a voltage range that the assisted component is operable, and a power supply prevention circuit that prevents the auxiliary power supply from supplying power to a component other than the assisted component in the apparatus.

An image forming apparatus includes a power supply unit supplied with power from outside and supplies the power to respective units of the apparatus, and a power control unit that controls the power supply unit and includes a power-supply-state storage unit that stores a power-supply-ON state or a power-supply-OFF state. The power supply unit is switchable between a first power supply mode to supply the power to all of the respective units of the apparatus, and a second power supply mode to supply the power to the power control unit. When the power supplied from outside is restarted after being shut off, the power control unit sets the power supply unit to the first power supply mode if the power-supply-state storage unit stores the power-supply-ON state, and sets the power supply unit to the second power supply mode if the power-supply-state storage unit stores the power-supply-OFF state.

Considering a position relation between client devices and an image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus is appropriately shifted to a power saving mode. A position information storage portion stores information of a position relation between each of the client devices and the image processing apparatus, a monitored target extracting portion extracts, from among the client devices, a client device to be monitored whether or not to be online based on information including at least the information of the position relation, a status confirming portion confirms whether or not the client device extracted is online, a power saving mode shift judging portion judges whether or not to shift the image processing apparatus to a power saving mode based on a confirmation result, and a power controlling portion controls shifting to the power saving mode of the image processing apparatus based on a judgment result.

An image processing apparatus includes a communication unit configured to transmit and receive image data; an output unit configured to output the image data received by the communication unit; a storage battery unit used as a power source to back up the image data stored in a storage unit; a detecting unit configured to detect whether power supply from a main power source is cut off; and a power-supply control unit configured to perform a control operation that supplies power to the communication unit from the storage battery unit in a cutoff state where the detecting unit detects that the power supply is cut off. The communication unit performs, in the cutoff state, an image-data communication operation that consumes less power than a communication operation in a normal state where the detecting unit detects that the power supply is not cut off.

An arrangement includes a first electronic device and a power supply unit adapted to provide the first electronic device with electric operating energy from a mains voltage. The first electronic device includes an evaluation unit adapted to switch the first electronic device from an operating state to at least one energy saving state and vice-versa, and a standard interface for connecting the first electronic device to a second electronic device.

A system and method for using a unified memory architecture to implement a digital camera device comprises a dynamic random-access memory for storing captured image data during processing and compression, a memory manager routine for allocating storage space within the dynamic random-access memory, a power management system for protecting the stored image data in case of a power failure, and an input/output interface for allowing an external host computer system to access the dynamic random-access memory.

An information processing apparatus includes a status indicator that displays status of a battery, a controller that controls an operating mode of the information processing apparatus and supplies power to the status indicator, and an instruction acceptance unit that accepts user instruction to display to the status indicator. The controller turns off the status indicator in transitioning to the energy saving mode, and, in the energy saving mode, turns on the status indicator in response to the instruction acceptance unit accepting the user instruction to display and turns off the status indicator in response to the user instruction to display being released.

A total-current control unit is configured to add a fuser current of a fuser unit to a load current of the load to thereby obtain a total current to be supplied from a commercial power supply to the image forming apparatus, the total-current control unit being configured to control the total current to be at a predetermined limit value or less. An auxiliary power supply is configured to supply an auxiliary current to the load. The total-current control unit is further configured to provide first control to control the total current to be at the limit value or less and allow the auxiliary power supply to supply the auxiliary current to the load, thereby supplying, to the load, a current obtained by adding the auxiliary current to the load current, if an increase in the load current causes the total current to exceed the limit value.

An electronic device is provided that is capable of dealing with data loss from a volatile memory that can be caused when power supply from a device power source is disconnected. Even if there is a setting to retain received data in the volatile memory until a printing instruction is given by a user, the electronic device, e.g., an image forming apparatus, prints received data without waiting for the user's printing instruction in a case where a backup battery voltage is less than a predetermined value.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, an energy converting unit receives light from an optical source and converts the light into electric power, and an electrical storage unit stores therein the electric power. The energy converting unit is arranged in such a manner that a relative position of the energy converting unit to the optical source is always constant when a reading unit is reading an image.
