Abstract:
A mobile computing device is provided having more than one imaging engine, and preferably, two imagining engines. Switching circuitry is provided for switching between the two imaging engines. Each imaging engine is optimized for use in specific applications and includes different specifications from the other imaging engine. Preferably, one imaging engine is optimized to provide higher resolution images than the other imaging engine, and one imaging engine is optimized to focus an object located 7.50 to 12.50 cm from the mobile computing device (near-to-mid range imaging), while the other imaging engine is optimized to focus an object located from 12.50 cm to infinity from the mobile computing device (mid-to-far range imaging). One imaging engine preferably includes a color image sensor, while the other imaging engine includes a black and white image sensor.
Abstract:
A camera−equipped cellular telephone includes an image pickup block (4) for picking up an image, an openable/closable lens cover for protecting a pickup lens of the image pickup block (4), a detection block (5) for detecting opening/closing of the lens cover, a memory (7) containing a plurality of mode setting information items where various functions are set, and a control block (8) for switching to a pre−selected mode setting among the plurality of mode settings stored in the memory (7) when the detection block (5) has detected that the lens cover is opened. Thus, the cellular telephone mode and the camera mode can easily be used and imaging can be performed without causing misunderstanding or an unnecessary wariness of other people.
Abstract:
A method for sending data between multiple networks is disclosed. In one embodiment, a request for a service available in a second network is initiated by a member of a first network. The request is sent to the second network. The second network is coupled with the first network. The request comprises an identification and a password of the member defined in the second network, a request type and a network identification associated with the first network. The second network identifies the member in the second network using the identification and the password. The request is processed in the second network.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for reliable and customer-friendly delivery of documents. One method of the present invention include the steps of: producing document data for printing documents (Step 202); accepting requests to print selected documents (Step 206); determining whether a selected document is accepted for electronic delivery or for non-electronic delivery (Step 210); printing documents accepted for non-electronic delivery; and electronically delivering documents accepted for electronic delivery (Step 212).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mobile system for access to and visualisation of standard Internet contents and/or services. The system comprises terminals cooperating with a communication central 5 via some mobile network adapted for wireless data communication. The system is characterised in that the mobile terminals 1 are connectable to a printing device 11, that the communication central 5 is connected to the Internet 27, and that in said communication central 5 a for the purpose intended stored software application transforms the by the user requested Internet contents and/or services to one or more print file(s). The file(s) are thereafter wirelessly sent to said printing device 11, whereby the users are able to print said print file(s) without having the program applications stored in the mobile terminals 1.
Abstract:
A printer (10) may comprise a command file storage unit (14), a receiving unit (28), a command file sending unit (28), and a first data sending unit (28). The command file storage unit (14) may store a command file (20, 22) including a first command (204), a second command (212), and a third command (214). The first command (204) is a command for sending a request for first data. The second command (212) includes design data (213), and is a command for converting the first data into second data in accordance with the design data (213). The third command (214) is a command for displaying a web page in accordance with the second data. The receiving unit (28) may receive a request. The command file sending unit (28) may send a response including the command file (20, 22) when a request for the command file (20, 22) is received. The first data sending unit (28) may send a response including the first data when the request for the first data is received.

Abstract:
A control method for a composite apparatus having at least a printer function, and further having a controller adapted to control an entire apparatus, a network connector adapted to connect to a network to send and receive a packet, and a printer language processor adapted to process a printer language. First, contents of the packet inputted via the network connector is analyzed, then if the analyzed packet is print data, the packet is transferred to the printer language processor, and if the analyzed packet is not the print data, the packet is transferred to the controller.
