Abstract
An image forming apparatus plays a movie representing operation procedures to be performed to make maintenance on the image forming apparatus. In a case where start of a job is detected and an operation by a user is detected, the image forming apparatus plays the movie of which frame rate is lowered.
Claims20
An apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus;
- the apparatus comprising:
- a first playing unit configured to play the movie using a first frame rate;
- a second playing unit configured to play the movie using a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- a discrimination unit configured to discriminate a job execution status;
- and
- a control unit configured to control, when an instruction for playing the movie is issued after the playing of the movie by the first playing unit or the second playing unit is paused, to change between playing the movie by the first playing unit and playing the movie by the second playing unit based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
An apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus;
- the apparatus comprising:
- a first playing unit configured to play the movie at a first frame rate;
- a second playing unit configured to play the movie at a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- a discrimination unit configured to discriminate a job execution status;
- and
- a control unit configured to control, when the sub-movies in the movie being played by the first playing unit or the second playing unit are changed, to change between playing the movie by the first playing unit and playing the movie by the second playing unit based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
A method of controlling an apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus, the method comprising:
- playing the movie using a first frame rate;
- playing the movie using a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- discriminating a job execution status;
- and
- controlling, when an instruction for playing the movie is issued after the playing of the movie is paused, to change between playing the movie using the first frame rate and playing the movie using the second frame rate based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
A method of controlling an apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus, the method comprising:
- playing the movie using a first frame rate;
- playing the movie using a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- discriminating a job execution status;
- and
- controlling, when the sub-movies in the movie being played are changed, to change between playing the movie using the first frame rate and playing the movie using the second frame rate based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program configured to control a computer to execute a control method of controlling an apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus, the method comprising:
- playing the movie using a first frame rate;
- playing the movie using a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- discriminating a job execution status;
- and
- controlling, when an instruction for playing the movie is issued after the playing of the movie is paused, to change between playing the movie using the first frame rate and playing the movie using the second frame rate based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program configured to control a computer to execute a control method of controlling an apparatus for playing a plurality of sub-movies sequentially as a single movie, the sub-movies respectively representing operations to be performed to make maintenance on the apparatus, the method comprising:
- playing the movie using a first frame rate;
- playing the movie using a second frame rate which is lower than the first frame rate;
- discriminating a job execution status;
- and
- controlling, when the sub-movies in the movie being played are changed, to change between playing the movie using the first frame rate and playing the movie using the second frame rate based on the discriminated job execution status at a timing of change of the sub-movies.
