Abstract:
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.
