Abstract
The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including transmitting and receiving means for transmitting and receiving data to and from an external apparatus via a network.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a packet;
- a detecting unit configured to detect that a shift condition for shifting the information processing apparatus from a first power mode to a second power mode of which power consumption is lower than the first power mode is satisfied;
- a setting unit configured to enable a first discard setting for discarding a packet received by the receiving unit, in response to the detecting unit detecting that the shift condition is satisfied;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit a predetermined notification to an external apparatus in response to enabling of the first discard setting by the setting unit,
- wherein the information processing apparatus is shifted to the second power mode after the transmitting unit transmits the predetermined notification to the external apparatus.
3 more elements
An information processing apparatus comprising;
- a storage unit configured to store a destination to which information indicating that the information processing apparatus is to be shut down is transmitted;
- a determination unit configured to determine that the information processing apparatus it to be shut down;
- a first setting unit configured to make, when the determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus it to be shut down, a first setting so as not to prevent the information processing apparatus from being shut down by receiving data from an external apparatus;
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit, after the first setting unit makes the first setting, the information indicating that the information processing apparatus is to be shut down, to the destination stored in the storage unit;
- a second setting unit configured to make, after the transmitting unit completes transmitting the information to the destination stored in the storage unit, a second setting so as not to transmit data to an external apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to control, after the second setting unit makes the second setting, the information processing apparatus to be shut down.
4 more elements
A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving a packet;
- detecting that a shift condition for shifting the information processing apparatus from a first power mode to a second power mode of which power consumption is lower than the first power mode is satisfied;
- enabling a first discard setting for discarding a packet received, in response to the detecting that the shift condition is satisfied;
- transmitting a predetermined notification to an external apparatus in response to enabling of the first discard setting by the setting unit,
- wherein the information processing apparatus is shifted to the second power mode after the predetermined notification is transmitted to the external apparatus.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium, having instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations for controlling an information processing apparatus, the operations comprising:
- receiving a packet;
- detecting that a shift condition for shifting the information processing apparatus from a first power mode to a second power mode of which power consumption is lower than the first power mode is satisfied;
- enabling a first discard setting for discarding a packet received, in response to the detecting that the shift condition is satisfied;
- transmitting a predetermined notification to an external apparatus in response to enabling of the first discard setting by the setting unit,
- wherein the information processing apparatus is shifted to the second power mode after the predetermined notification is transmitted to the external apparatus.
