POWER SUPPLY CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND POWER SUPPLY CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A power supply control apparatus comprising:
- a transition unit that makes a control target that includes processing units enter a power supply state or a power shutoff state, power being selectively supplied to the processing units in the power supply state;
a detector that detects a moving object while the control target is in the power shutoff state;
a first image capturing unit that captures images of a specific area at the time when the detector detects a moving object;
a command unit that commands the transition unit to make the control target enter the power supply state in a case where it is determined that the moving object is approaching the control target in accordance with image information of the images captured by the first image capturing unit;
a second image capturing unit that captures a characteristic image of the moving object that is approaching the control target; and
an identity recognition unit that performs identity recognition for the moving object in accordance with image information of the characteristic image captured by the second image capturing unit.

Abstract
A power supply control apparatus includes a transition unit, a detector, a first image capturing unit, a command unit, a second image capturing unit, and an identity recognition unit. The transition unit makes a control target enter a power supply state or a power shutoff state. The detector detects a moving object while the control target is in the power shutoff state. The first image capturing unit captures images of a specific area at the time when the detector detects a moving object. The command unit commands the transition unit to make the control target enter the power supply state in a case where it is determined that the moving object is approaching the control target. The second image capturing unit captures a characteristic image of the moving object that is approaching the control target. The identity recognition unit performs identity recognition in accordance with the characteristic image.

2. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a power supply controller that individually makes control targets enter a power supply state or a power shutoff state, the control targets including a processing section that executes specific processing upon receiving power, an interface section that has a function of receiving operation command information for the processing section and a function of transmitting operation state information regarding the processing section, and a management controller that manages the processing section and the interface section in such a manner that operation of the processing section cooperates with operation of the interface section; a detector to which power supply is continued by the power supply controller even in a case where all the control targets are made to enter the power shutoff state by the power supply controller and that detects movement of a moving object in a predetermined detection area; a determination unit that includes a first image capturing section, the first image capturing section being included in the control targets and capturing images of a specific area upon receiving power that starts to be supplied at the time when the detector detects that a moving object has entered the detection area, and that determines whether or not the moving object is a user who is approaching the processing section or the interface section in accordance with image information of the images captured by the first image capturing section; an identity recognition unit that includes a second image capturing section, the second image capturing section capturing a characteristic image of the moving object upon receiving power that starts to be supplied at the time when it is determined by the determination unit that the moving object is a user who is approaching the processing section or the interface section, and that performs identity recognition for the user in accordance with image information of the characteristic image captured by the second image capturing section; and a specification unit that specifies a management control manner for operation of at least the interface section in accordance with a result of the identity recognition performed by the identity recognition unit, the management controller performing management control in the management control manner.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for controlling power supply, the process comprising:
-
capturing images of a specific area, by using a first image capturing unit, at the time when a moving object is detected in a case where a control target that includes processing units is in a power shutoff state, power being selectively supplied to the processing units when the control target is in a power supply state; making the control target enter the power supply state in a case where it is determined, in accordance with image information of the captured images of the specific area, that the moving object is approaching the control target; capturing a characteristic image of the moving object that is approaching the control target, by using a second image capturing unit; and executing an identity recognition function in accordance with image information of the captured characteristic image.
