    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that performs a print job. During operation, the system detects a printer in proximity to a portable electronic device associated with the print job. Next, the system establishes a peer-to-peer connection between the portable electronic device and the printer and uses the peer-to-peer connection to obtain a set of printer attributes from the printer. If the printer attributes match the print job, the system establishes a direct connection between the printer and the portable electronic device and sends the print job to the printer over the direct connection, wherein the print job is executed using the printer.

The connection portion is configured to allow data transfer between the storage medium and the information processing device. The peripheral device further includes a function execution portion that performs a function according to data transferred from the information processing device. The peripheral device still further includes a detection portion that detects a state of the data transfer between the function execution portion and the information processing device. Moreover, the peripheral device includes a notification portion that notifies the information processing device that the storage medium is not connected to the connection portion, irrespective of whether the connection state of the storage medium to the connection portion is connected or not, when the detection portion detects a start of the data transfer between the function execution portion and the information processing device.

    Abstract: A controller unit controls an image processing apparatus that includes a scanner unit that acquires image data by scanning an original. The controller unit includes a scanning characteristic correcting unit that converts the image data acquired by the scanner unit into normalized image data, an expanded I/F unit to which a controller image processing unit can be detachably attached to perform an image reducing operation on the normalized image data, and a basic image processing unit that, when the controller image processing unit is not attached to the expanded I/F unit, performs a basic image reducing operation on the normalized image data.

    Abstract: A power supply circuit receives power from a power supply and supplies the power to loads including a main controller and a first sub-controller performing response action through a network when the supply of power to the main controller is blocked and the image forming apparatus is connected to the network. A second sub-controller controls the blocking of the supply of power to the main controller. The sub-controller determines whether to block the supply of power to the main controller, determines a connection state of the image forming apparatus to the network when the first determination unit determines to block the supply of power, blocks the supply of power to the first sub-control unit according to the determination result, and detects a factor for resuming the supply of power to the main controller and a factor for blocking the supply of power to all or a part of the loads.

    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an interface, a detector, a manager, a usage interruption unit, and a determination unit. The interface is for connecting to a peripheral device to form a connected peripheral device. The detector is for detecting a connection and a disconnection between the interface and a peripheral device. The manager is for managing device specifying information that specifies the connected peripheral device. The usage interruption unit is for setting a connected peripheral device to a usage interruption state. The determination unit is for determining whether the usage interruption unit set the connected peripheral device to the usage interruption state. The manager may manage a reconnected peripheral device using device information that existed before the connected peripheral device was disconnected from the interface.

    Abstract: This invention provides a method of connecting a network-connected image input device, to which a plug-and-play function cannot be applied to a computer installed with an OS (operating system) and using the image input device. To this end, when a control program of the image input device is activated, the program notifies the OS of information indicating that the peripheral device is connected, irrespective of connection/non-connection between the peripheral device and the computer. Upon reception of a command for activating the peripheral device, the control program confirms the connection/non-connection between the peripheral device and the computer. When the connection is confirmed, the control program controls the peripheral device to activate.

    Abstract: A composite image is generated by compositing blank regions generated by tilt correction with achromatic pixels or pixels contained in the non-overlapping regions that do not overlap with the region of the original image as a result of tilt correction. The data of this composite image, which is used as image data used for printing, is provided to a printing apparatus having an automatic correction feature. As a result, variation in correction results due to the amount of tilt correction is minimized when images corrected for tilt are automatically corrected and printed.
