Apparatus and method for determining a storage location based on the amount of electricity stored in a secondary battery of an image processing apparatus

摘要

In a method of controlling an image processing apparatus having a rechargeable secondary battery, in response to reception of a job, an amount of electricity stored in the secondary battery is detected and, whether the detected amount of electricity exceeds a specified value is determined. If it is determined that the stored electricity amount exceeds the specified value, a volatile memory is selected as a storage destination of information to be stored when the job is executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the stored electricity amount does not exceed the specified value, a nonvolatile memory is selected as the storage destination of the information to be stored when the job is executed.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive a job; a rechargeable secondary battery; a detection unit configured to detect an amount of electricity stored in the secondary battery in response to the reception of the job; a determination unit configured to determine whether the detected amount of electricity exceeds a specified value; and a selection unit configured to select a volatile memory as a storage destination of information to be stored when the job is executed if it is determined that the stored electricity amount exceeds the specified value, and select a nonvolatile memory as the storage destination of information to be stored when the job is executed if it is determined that the stored electricity amount does not exceed the specified value.
