Abstract:
A portable terminal selectively includes either a camera unit which has an image pickup section and is formed with an engagement part or a cover unit formed with the same engagement part as the camera unit. An attachment part for engaging with the engagement part is provided in a main body of the portable terminal.
Abstract:
In an image processing apparatus that generates image data from drawing information, compresses the image data and stores the data in a memory, it is determined whether the data amount of the image data exceeds an amount of a difference between an amount of space securable in the memory and a first threshold determined from the amount of the memory available in the memory. If a CPU determines that the amount of the image data exceeds the amount of the difference from the first threshold, the CPU performs a fake compression processing for compressing the image data by a compression unit without storing the image data in the memory. If the CPU determines that the amount of the image data does not exceed the amount of the difference from the first threshold, the CPU performs a compression processing for compressing the image data by a compression unit.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a light source which illuminates in response to image data, and a deflector to deflect an optical beam output from the light source into a scanning beam running along a main scanning line across an image forming area in a main scanning direction. There are plurality of beam detectors to detect the scanning beam at a plurality of different positions along the main scanning line, the plurality of beam detectors including first and second beam detectors detecting the scanning beam at positions in front-end and rear-end sides, respectively, in the main scanning direction.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus capable of requesting a service providing apparatus via an external network to perform processing and communicating with an information processing apparatus via an internal network includes an activation unit configured to activate a check unit configured to check a status of the processing acquired by the information processing apparatus, a stopping unit configured to stop the check unit if the check unit activated by the activation unit recognizes that the status of the processing is not a stopped state, and a request unit configured to request the service providing apparatus to perform the processing if the check unit is stopped.
Abstract:
An extended user interface compatibility confirming method has the steps of: (a) connecting an image forming apparatus and an extended user interface device to a network, the extended user interface device having an extended operation panel and sending a web service request from the extended operation panel to the image forming apparatus to perform an image forming function corresponding to the web service request; (b) requesting manufacturer information of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus with SNMP protocol by the extended user interface device, and receiving the manufacturer information from the image forming apparatus by the extended user interface device; and (c) sending a web service request compatible with the manufacturer information to the image forming apparatus by the extended user interface device to inquire whether or not the image forming apparatus is capable of using the extended user interface device.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a user can properly acquire a desired print product with a few procedures in front of an output device. An information processing apparatus includes a print job output unit configured to output a print job, wherein, if the print job output unit receives a request for pull printing from an output device related apparatus for a first time, the print job output unit compares a capacity of an output target device with a print setting, selects a print job including a print setting matching with the capacity of the output target device from stored print jobs, and outputs the selected print job, and if the print job output unit receives a request for pull printing from the output device related apparatus consecutively, the print job output unit outputs the stored print jobs.
Abstract:
A power management method of an image forming apparatus which communicates with at least one terminal device supporting a universal plug and play (UPnP) protocol, including: setting power save mode information which includes a plurality of levels corresponding to the UPnP protocol to the image forming apparatus; storing the set power save mode information; receiving a command to enter a first power save mode among the plurality of levels from the terminal device; comparing the received command to enter the first power save mode with the stored power save mode information; and entering a power save mode by the image forming apparatus corresponding to the received command to enter the first power save mode. With this configuration, the image forming apparatus supporting a UPnP protocol categorizes power save modes by using a low power protocol of the UPnP protocol, and can reduce unnecessary power consumption and improves usability.
Abstract:
In an image-forming system, the first determining unit is configured to determine whether at least one image-forming device among the plurality of image-forming device is capable of performing the image print process. The second determining unit is configured to determine whether to restrict an image-forming device among the plurality of image-forming devices to execute the test print process based on a result of determination by the first determining unit. The restricting unit is configured to restrict the image-forming device to execute the test print process when the second determining unit determines to restrict the image-forming device to execute the test print process.
Abstract:
Access right information of a login user is acquired, and an object accessible by the login user is identifiably displayed on an area corresponding to the user. When a collaboration mode in which a plurality of users log in and make a cooperative work is set, an object accessible by each login user is identifiably displayed on an area corresponding to each user.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a display unit that displays operation information about a user's operation procedure; a communication unit that performs communication with a mobile terminal device; and a transmission unit that transmits, in case that a predetermined operation information is to be displayed on the display unit, image data for displaying the predetermined operation information to the mobile terminal device via the communication unit.
