1. A network system, comprising:
- a network;
a terminal apparatus;
and a network apparatus which wakes up in a case of receiving a wake-up instruction from the terminal apparatus over the network, wherein the network apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of;
a wake-up instruction receiving unit that receives the wake-up instruction,a wake-up control unit that performs wake-up processing in a case of receiving the wake-up instruction, anda state transmitting unit that, in the case of receiving the wake-up instruction, transmits a state notification of the wake-up processing to the terminal apparatus while said network apparatus is not fully operational until the wake-up processing is completed, the state notification including an estimated time required for the network apparatus to complete the wake-up processing; and
wherein the terminal apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of;
a wake-up instruction transmitting unit that transmits the wake-up instruction;
a state receiving unit that receives the state notification of the wake-up processing;
a state display unit that displays a state of the wake-up processing in a case of receiving the state notification of the wake-up processing, the state of the wake-up processing including a state of progress of the wake-up processing based on the estimated time; and
the network system further comprises a second terminal apparatus, wherein if the second terminal apparatus sends a second wake-up instruction to said network apparatus while said network apparatus is executing said wake-up processing, then the wake-up control unit does not perform a second wake-up processing in response to the second wake-up instruction, and the state transmitting unit does transmit the state notification of the wake-up processing being executed by the said network apparatus to the second terminal apparatus.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program that causes a computer to function as a first terminal apparatus which transmits a wake-up instruction to a network apparatus which wakes up in a case of receiving the wake-up instruction over a network, the program causing the first terminal to execute steps comprising:
-
using a wake-up instruction transmitting unit to transmit the wake-up instruction to the network apparatus while the network apparatus is in a process of waking up in response to a previous wake-up instruction previously received from a second terminal apparatus; using a state receiving unit to receive the state notification of the wake-up processing from the network apparatus while the network apparatus is not fully functional, the received state notification of the wake-up processing from the network apparatus including an estimated time required for the network apparatus to complete the wake-up processing of the previous wake-up instruction;
wherein the network apparatus does not perform the second wake-up processing in response to wake-up instruction transmitted by the first terminal apparatus;using a state display unit to display a state of the wake-up processing, the state of the wake-up processing including a state of progress of the wake-up processing based on the estimated time required for the network apparatus to complete the wake-up processing of the previous wake-up instruction, in a case of receiving the state notification of the wake-up processing; and a print indicating section that transmits a print indication to the network apparatus that has completed the network apparatus that has completed the wake-up processing.

16. A network system, comprising:
-
a network; a first terminal apparatus; a second terminal apparatus; and a network apparatus that wakes up from a power-saving mode in response to receiving a first wake-up instruction from the first terminal apparatus or receiving a second wake-up instruction from the second terminal apparatus over the network, said power-saving mode being characterized by said network apparatus not being operational, wherein the network apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of; a wake-up instruction receiving unit that receives the first wake-up instruction on said network while the network apparatus is in said power-saving mode, a wake-up control unit that performs a wake-up processing in response to receiving the first wake-up instruction, said wake-up processing transitioning said network apparatus from said power-saving mode to a normal mode characterized by said network apparatus being operational; and a state transmitting unit that transmits a state notification indicative of an execution progress of the wake-up process to the first terminal apparatus while said network apparatus is not in said normal mode, the state notification including an estimated time required for the network apparatus to complete the wake-up processing; and wherein the first terminal apparatus includes a memory and a processor performing the functions of; a wake-up instruction transmitting unit that transmits the first wake-up instruction; and a state receiving unit that receives the state notification from the network apparatus over the network; and a state display unit that displays a state of the wake-up processing in a case of receiving the state notification of the wake-up processing, the state of the wake-up processing including a state of progress including the state of progress of the wake-up processing based on the estimated time; wherein if the second terminal apparatus sends the second wake-up instruction to the network apparatus while the network apparatus is executing said wake-up processing, then the wake-up control unit does not perform a second wake-up processing in response to the second wake-up instruction, and the state transmitting unit starts transmitting the state notification of the wake-up processing being executed by the said network apparatus to the second terminal apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (17)
