Abstract:
A digital multifunction device is provided with RAM having a virtual drive area. The digital multifunction device enables a personal computer connected to and capable of communicating with the digital multifunction device via a USB interface to recognize this virtual drive area as an external storage device. When the personal computer writes image data to the virtual drive area, the digital multifunction device selectively executes one of an image forming process, fax transmitting process, and mail transmitting process based on the type of folder in which the image data is written. Accordingly, image data in a first folder is printed on recording paper, or image data in a second folder is transmitted to an external facsimile machine.
Abstract:
There is provided a data processing device having a plurality of functions including at least a print function of forming an image on a recording medium and a facsimile function of transmitting facsimile data. The data processing device comprises: a connection unit to which a portable storage medium is detachably attached; a storage unit configured to store relationship information defining relationship between a data type and a function to be executed for data having the data type; a reading unit configured to read data from the portable storage medium attached to the connection unit; a judgment unit configured to judge a data type of the data read by the reading unit from the portable storage medium; and a function execution unit configured to execute one of the plurality of functions corresponding to the data type judged by the judgment unit.
Abstract:
In order to allow various user setups associated with a communication using a plurality of communication channels, the number of communication channels used in a communication with a single partner is varied depending on whether or not the automatic answering mode is set. The number of communication channels used in the communication with the single partner can be independently set in correspondence with transmission and reception. The number of communication channels used in the communication with another communication partner can be independently set in correspondence with whether an incoming call or a call origination request is detected.
Abstract:
An image forming system that does not impair the operability of a standardized external apparatus functions in a standard mode and an individual mode. The mode of the system is selected using a mode-switching switch on an operation unit or a work station. A display screen of the operation unit is switched in correspondence with the selected mode.
Abstract:
A digital still camera includes connection unit establishing connection with an external device; connection detection unit of detecting that the connection unit is connected to the external device and that the connection is released; an electronic viewfinder; a liquid crystal monitor allowing images to be observed from outside; first controller of shifting to a transfer mode and transmitting image data to the external device when the connection detection unit detects the connection, as well as controlling so that display of the image data is switched from the electronic viewfinder to the liquid crystal monitor.
