An information processing system includes an operating unit that receives an input in response to a user operation and that runs under a first operating system; and a main body that runs under a second operating system and operates in response to the input received by the operating unit. The main body includes a generation unit that generates a command to direct rendering of a screen corresponding to an application being executed, and a command transmission control unit that provides control to transmit the command to the operating unit. The operating unit includes a receiving unit that receives the command from the main body, a screen rendering unit that renders the screen in accordance with the command received by the receiving unit, a display unit that displays the screen rendered by the screen rendering unit, and a reboot unit that reboots the operating unit in asynchronization with the main body.

An information processing apparatus includes, a reception unit configured to receive an instruction to transfer the information processing apparatus to the second power state, an analysis unit configured, when the reception unit receives the instruction, to analyze a factor limiting the transfer of the information processing apparatus to the second power state, and a control unit configured, when the analysis unit analyzes the factor and as a result the factor is a first factor, to control the information processing apparatus to transfer to the third power state without waiting until the factor is resolved, and configured, when the factor is a second factor, to control the information processing apparatus to wait until the factor is resolved, and to transfer to the second power state.

An image forming apparatus includes a main controller, a volatile first storage, a sub-controller, a non-volatile second storage, and an associator that associates one or more of a plurality of hardware resources with each of a plurality of activation factors, the main controller includes a mode switcher that switches an operation mode, the sub-controller includes a shut-off controller that shuts off power supply to the main controller, an activation factor detector that detects activation factor, a power recoverer that, in response to detection of activation factor, supplies power to the main controller, and an activator that, in response to detection of activation factors, activates the main controller, and the main controller includes a recoverer that reads out a snapshot from the second storage, and stores the snapshot in the first storage.

An image forming apparatus includes a first human body detector, a second human body detector, and a controller. The first human body detector has a first detection span to detect a human body to output a signal. The second human body detector has a second detection span to detect a human body to output a signal. The controller changes a state of the image forming apparatus from a standby state to an operation state in accordance with the output signal from each of the first human body detector and the second human body detector. A first center line of the first detection span intersects with a second center line of the second detection span at a portion where the first detection span and the second detection span overlap with each other in a planar view.

An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit, a storage unit, a determining unit, and a restart executing unit. The setting unit receives a setting of a time to periodically restart the information processing apparatus from a user. The storage unit stores therein the time received by the setting unit and a predetermined condition used for determination of whether to restart the information processing apparatus at the time. At a time of restarting the information processing apparatus at the time stored in the storage unit, the determining unit makes a decision to execute a restart when an operating state of the information processing apparatus meets the predetermined condition stored in the storage unit. The restart executing unit executes the restart in accordance with the decision made by the determining unit.

The present invention relates to a print control apparatus that is connected to a data processing apparatus through a first communication unit and connected to an image forming apparatus through a second communication unit.

An information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The information processing apparatus receives an initialization instruction from an external apparatus, initializes second information among first information and the second information stored in a first memory in response to the initialization instruction, notifies the external apparatus of completion of initialization of the second information, and initializes the first information after the completion of initialization of the second information is notified to the external apparatus.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit including a scanner and a printer, a server, and a local network circuit connecting the image forming unit and the server. In each of the image forming unit and the server, a hardware processor selects one of a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol in accordance with data to be transmitted by a transceiver. The first communication protocol includes a provision for ensuring reliability of communication, and the second communication protocol does not include a provision for ensuring reliability of communication.

A device that is attached/detached to/from an image capturing apparatus and that is configured to obtain image data related to an image captured by the image capturing apparatus, to execute analysis processing on the image data, and to store, in a storage of the device, at least a result of the analysis processing on the image data and information designating specific data is provided. The device deletes, based on the information, data stored in the storage when power supply to the device is started.

An image control apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus through a network includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to receive, through a network, a shutdown instruction issued to the image forming apparatus, and determine whether the image forming apparatus is connected to a second network other than a first network through which the image forming apparatus is connected to the image control apparatus. When the one or more controllers determine that the image forming apparatus is connected to the second network other than the first network, the one or more controllers do not issue the shutdown instruction to the image forming apparatus even when the one or more controllers receive the shutdown instruction through the network.
