Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a detector and a change unit. The detector detects a standing-up motion of a person after receipt of a print instruction. The change unit changes from a low-power consumption mode to a printing mode in response to detection of the standing-up motion, the printing mode being a ready-to-print mode.

Claims (22)

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a controller configured to

detect a standing-up motion of a person after receipt of a print instruction; and

change the image processing apparatus from a low-power consumption mode to a printing mode in response to detection of the standing-up motion, the printing mode being a ready-to-print mode; and

a camera that captures a first image after receipt of the print instruction and captures a second image after a predetermined period elapses after capturing of the first image,

wherein the controller compares the first image with the second image to detect the standing-up motion of the person.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller detects a standing-up motion of a person when one or more image portions in the second image are different from one or more corresponding image portions in the first image and are arranged vertically.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller detects a standing-up motion of a person when the one or more different image portions include the person.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the controller receives images from the camera to detect the standing-up motion, and

the person is in a field of view of the camera while the standing-up motion is detected.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:

causing a camera to capture a first image after receipt of a print instruction and capture a second image after a predetermined period elapses after capturing of the first image,

detecting a standing-up motion of a person after receipt of the print instruction by comparing the first image with the second image; and

changing from a low-power consumption mode to a printing mode in response to detection of the standing-up motion, the printing mode being a ready-to-print mode.

6. An image processing apparatus comprising:

means for capturing a first image after receipt of a print instruction and capturing a second image after a predetermined period elapses after capturing of the first image,

means for detecting a standing-up motion of a person after receipt of the print instruction by comparing the first image with the second image; and

means for changing from a low-power consumption mode to a printing mode in response to the detecting the standing-up motion, the printing mode being a ready-to-print mode.
