Abstract:
A facsimile machine (20) with multi-port networking capabilities and a compact flash card (23) for data storage, which does not have printing components, but uses a computer and printer for printing.
Abstract:
A real-time picture communications system (15) including a picture communications network subsystem (26) provides real-time picture communication services between users (21), devices (22), and/or groups of users, devices, and other groups. Examples of devices include cameras, viewers, keypads, writing tablets, microphones, telephones, and combinations thereof. One or more protocol communications nodes (27) are connected to one or more networks to provide communication between the network and the picture communications network subsystem. A registry database (28) includes user information (86), device information (87) and group information (88). A control subsystem (29) processes requests and executes instructions, such as an attach instruction and instructions that establish real-time communication services responsive to an authenticated request by a user or a device to the extent allowed by the various access rights of any users, devices and groups.
Abstract:
An information providing device is capable of communicating with an image forming device, a data managing device, and a transmission terminal. The information providing device includes a storage unit; a communication unit that transmits a scanning instruction to instruct the image forming device to perform image scanning, and receives, from the image forming device, storage location information indicating the data managing device that stores data obtained by image scanning by the image forming device and indicating a storage location in the data managing device; and a storage location managing unit that generates, in the storage unit, management information in which identification information of the image data is associated with the storage location information. The communication unit receives the data saved in the storage location indicated by the storage location information from the data managing device and transmits the received data to the transmission terminal.
Abstract:
An image processing device is provided that includes an establishment unit configured to establish a first connection with a first information processing device, a detector configured to detect a connection request that requests the image processing device to terminate the first connection with the first information processing device and thereafter establish a second connection with a second information processing device, the second connection being an exclusive connection configured to forbid establishment of connections other than the second connection while being established, and a restriction unit configured to restrict the second connection with the second information processing device from being established when the detector detects the connection request in a state where the first connection is established between the image processing device and the first information processing device.
Abstract:
A print control device includes: a creation unit that creates print data; an output unit that outputs the print data created by the creation unit to a printing device through a designated port; a determination unit that determines whether or not the print data is to be output to a non-connected port that is a port not connected to the printing device; and a display unit which, when the determination unit determines that the print data has been output to the non-connected port, displays at least one of a first operation screen that is an operation screen for instructing port switching and a second operation screen that is an operation screen for instructing deletion of the print data.
Abstract:
Battery-powered portable sheet-fed scanner, comprising: a scanning unit (21-23) for scanning documents and forming digital representations thereof; a sheet feeder (28) for feeding a document past the scanning unit; a processor (20), communicatively connected to the scanning unit and provided for controlling the scanning operation; a plurality of embedded storage capabilities, each of which is communicatively connected to the processor and each of which comprises either an internal memory (26) for internally storing the digital representations or a communication link (24; 25) to an external storage medium for externally storing the digital representations. The processor is provided with an embedded routing application which is provided for routing the digital representations to a predetermined selection among the embedded storage capabilities.
Abstract:
A disclosed image forming apparatus performs communications in a non-contact manner with a mobile terminal device storing print information. The image forming apparatus stores, in association with each other, identification information for identifying a reading unit configured to read the print information, function information indicating a function of processing the print information, and function setting information indicating process contents of the function; reads the print information stored in the mobile terminal device with a reading unit disposed in the image forming apparatus at a position according to the function information and the function setting information; acquires the stored function information and function setting information associated with the identification information held by the reading unit that has read the print information; and processes the print information based on the acquired function information and function setting information.
Abstract:
In an apparatus, object information and information on a transmission destination representing the transmission destination of image data are registered in correspondence with each other. An object in the image data is identified. The image data is transmitted to a transmission destination represented by information on a transmission destination corresponding to identified object information. The transmission status of the image data by a transmission unit is displayed on a display unit together with the image data.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for achieving the exchange of pieces of image data between a plurality of image processing apparatuses includes: a feature value extraction unit (102) for extracting a feature value included in image data; a feature value transfer unit (104) for transferring to another image processing apparatus a feature value extracted from image data to be exchanged; a feature value reception unit (106) for receiving a feature value transferred from the other image processing apparatus; a first determination unit (108) for determining whether the received feature value matches a feature value included in image data of a captured image; an image data transfer unit (112) for transferring the image data of the captured image to the other image processing apparatus when there is a match between the feature values; and an image data reception unit (114) for receiving image data of a captured image transferred from the other image processing apparatus.
