Image forming apparatus, method for controlling the same, and program

A method for controlling an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:

• detecting an object using a detection unit;
• displaying information indicating a state of the image forming apparatus using a display unit;
• adjusting detection sensitivity of the detection unit in accordance with the state of the image forming apparatus;
• and
• performing control, if it is determined that the detection unit whose detection sensitivity has been adjusted has detected an object, such that power is supplied to the display unit,
• wherein, when the state of the image forming apparatus is a normal state, the adjustment unit adjusts the detection sensitivity of the detection unit such that an object existing in a first region can be detected and, when the state of the image forming apparatus is an error state, adjusts the detection sensitivity of the detection unit such that an object existing in a second region, which is larger than the first region, can be detected.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which a program is recorded, and when executed, the program causing a computer of an image forming apparatus to function as:

• a detection unit configured to detect an object;
• a display unit configured to display information indicating a state of the image forming apparatus;
• an adjustment unit configured to adjust detection sensitivity of the detection unit in accordance with the state of the image forming apparatus;
• and
• a power control unit configured to, if it is determined that the detection unit whose detection sensitivity has been adjusted by the adjustment unit has detected an object, perform control such that power is supplied to the display unit,
• wherein, when the state of the image forming apparatus is a normal state, the adjustment unit adjusts the detection sensitivity of the detection unit such that an object existing in a first region can be detected and, when the state of the image forming apparatus is an error state, adjusts the detection sensitivity of the detection unit such that an object existing in a second region, which is larger than the first region, can be detected.
