Abstract:
In the image processing device, method and system of the present invention, a destination identifier of an image file is stored, the destination identifier indicating one of a plurality of external stations as a destination station which receives the image file from the image processing device through a network. At least one of a sender identifier of the image file, a subject identifier of the image file and a scan condition of the image file is stored. The image file is transmitted, together with at least one of the sender identifier, the subject identifier and the scan condition, through the network to one of the external stations indicated by the stored destination identifier.
Abstract:
Facsimile image data received from a normal facsimile apparatus connected to a general telephone network can be transmitted as an e-mail to the e-mail address of a computer network such as a LAN or the like designated by the source facsimile apparatus. An apparatus has a LAN I/F (6-14) for connecting to the LAN, and a line I/F (6-6) for connecting to the public telephone network. Upon reception of a remote instruction from the public telephone network, a CPU (6-3) converts received facsimile image data into e-mail data, and transmits the converted e-mail data to the e-mail address designated by the received remote instruction.

Abstract:
A document delivery network server having a set of integrated functions including sending, receiving, routing and filing of FAXes and e-mails to other users which achieves numerous advantages over the prior art. The document delivery system is based on a client/server model having both analog and digital Fax line capabilities. The server side provides very highly integrated systems functionality based on industry standard, commercially available hardware and a mix of industry standard and proprietary software components including integrated FAX/modem modules, an embedded OS, embedded plug-and-play driver sets, embedded e-mail gateways, an embedded FAX archive, embedded back-up/restore, proprietary high efficiency line utilization and highly efficient load balancing.
Abstract:
A method implemented in a fax machine for analyzing and processing received fax documents to identify unwanted faxes. The method applies a content based analysis to textual contents extracted from the fax by OCR, and applies an image pattern analysis to the image of the fax, as well as a statistical analysis based on past analysis results and user actions of faxes from the same sender. An overall relevance value is calculated based on the above analyses and is used to determine whether the received fax is unwanted. For unwanted faxes, the fax machine either prints the fax using a low quality printing mode, or save the fax in a memory without printing it. The user may subsequently perform various actions on the fax document, such as printing, reprinting, forwarding, deleting, etc. Such user actions are recorded as a part of the statistical information used in the statistical analysis.
Abstract:
A sheet positioning device includes a sheet setting plate, first and second regulating members disposed facing each other to move in an orthogonal direction to a sheet conveyance direction to regulate positions of two facing ends of the sheet on the plate by contacting these ends, a driving mechanism to move the first regulating member in the orthogonal direction, first and second contact detectors mounted on the first and second regulating members to detect contact of the two facing ends, and a controller to stop the driving mechanism based on detection results obtained by the first and second contact detectors. The first and second regulating members are used to adjust a position of the sheet to a predetermined position. Respective contact surfaces of the first and second contact detectors with the sheet extend over an entire maximum loadable range In a sheet setting direction on the plate.
Abstract:
A contract management service receives a relocation request including rearrangement information relating to relocation of an application to be applied to the image forming apparatus, the relocation request being for demanding relocation of the application to be applied to the image forming apparatus, decides a rearrangement application corresponding to the image forming apparatus after being rearranged based on the rearrangement information, and responds with the image forming apparatus after being rearranged and rearrangement information relating to the rearrangement application. The image forming apparatus accepts an application rearrangement instruction having the rearrangement, determines whether or not applying the rearrangement application is required based on the rearrangement information, and receives the rearrangement application from the contract management service depending on a determination result to thereby apply the rearrangement application.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to computing devices and systems, as well as software, computer programs, applications, and user interfaces, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods to facilitate message preview control. For example, the method may include generating representations for messages to present on an interface, and detecting selection of the representation for the message. Further, the method can include presenting preview information for the message, which can be an electronic facsimile. The representations for the messages can include a representation for an electronic facsimile, as well as a voice message and an email.
Abstract:
A facsimile communication apparatus for transmitting/receiving image data via a telephone public circuit network is provided. The apparatus includes: a detection unit configured to detect whether a call signal is being received from the telephone public circuit network; an acceptance unit configured to accept, when the detection unit detects that the call signal is being received, an instruction from a user to perform line capture for the call signal; and a control unit configured to control, when the acceptance unit accepts the instruction to perform line capture, the apparatus to perform line capture. When the acceptance unit accepts the instruction to perform line capture, the control unit controls the apparatus not to perform line capture during a call signal-on interval of the call signal.
Abstract:
A power management server for managing electric power for each of groups to which a plurality of image processing apparatuses belong, comprises: a determination unit configured to, when accepting, from an image processing apparatus, a power reservation request for reserving electric power to be used, determine whether to permit power reservation for the power reservation request, in a group to which the image processing apparatus belongs, in accordance with whether a total of a power value notified by the power reservation request, a reservation power value of the group, and a present electricity consumption of the group exceeds an upper-limiting power value of the group; and a notification unit configured to notify a power reservation determination result from the determination unit as a response to the power reservation request.
Abstract:
A fax to E-mail system and related method are shown, whereby a hardcopy document is sent via a fax device to its recipient via electronic mail through a data network, and is delivered in such a manner that it can be retrieved by the recipient at an E-mail device and displayed on the screen of the E-mail device. The document begins as a hardcopy, as an electronic file retrieved through E-mail recipient's terminal and displayed on the computer screen of the E-mail recipient's terminal. The system and method also provides for an interface device which connects to a conventional fax device for communicating E-mail addresses and routing hardcopy documents to the E-mail network, and provides a means for embedding the functions of the interface device into conventional fax devices. The system can also be used in cooperation with Internet Web service for reporting, accounting, information services, and user interaction.
