Patent ID: 8823984

Claim:
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first volatile memory; a second volatile memory; and a control unit configured to: (i) cause the image processing apparatus to operate in a first power state and a second power state, power consumption being lower in the second power state than in the first power state, wherein, in the second power state, power is supplied to the second volatile memory by a battery and is not supplied to the first volatile memory; (ii) save a job in the first volatile memory and process the job when a condition for processing the job is satisfied, (iii) save the job held in the first volatile memory to the second volatile memory and shift the image processing apparatus to the second power state when: (a) a condition for shifting to the second power state is satisfied, and (b) a remaining time of automatic cancellation for the job is shorter than a storable time of the second volatile memory for the job, and (iv) not save the job held in the first volatile memory to the second volatile memory and not shift the image processing apparatus to the second power state, when the remaining time of automatic cancellation is longer than the storable time of the second volatile memory.
