Abstract:
A video signal output arrangement for auto-printer generally includes a converter having an image pickup device and a video signal processor unit both functioning to convert an image on photographic film to a corresponding video signal, an interface serving to branch this video signal, and an output terminal to provide the video signal to the exterior of the auto-printer. The video signal output arrangement allows an image on the photographic film to be displayed on an external monitor or to be recorded on an external recording device and is electrically connectable to a communication line. A path of light rays extending from the photographic film, through which the light rays have been transmitted, to photosensitive material is branched so as to be directed to a photometric device 56, on one hand, and to an image pickup device 58, on the other hand. Information detected by devices 56 and 58 are inputted to a video signal processor unit 60 by which the information is converted to the corresponding video signals. The video signal is branched by interface 60 having one output electrically connected to a built-in monitor 38, another output electrically connected to an RGB signal output terminal 64, and still another output electrically connected via a matrix circuit 66 to a composite signal output terminal 68. The external monitor may be electrically connected to the output terminal 64 or 68 and thereby the image to be printed may be examined on the external monitor in the same manner as on the built-in monitor 38.
Abstract:
A printing control apparatus is provided. The printing control apparatus includes a storage unit which stores at least one image, a profile generation unit which generates a profile to perform quick printing with respect to the stored image, a link forming unit which searches for at least one image forming apparatus in the vicinity of the printing control apparatus in a wireless communication manner, and forms a wireless communication link with the searched image forming apparatus, a communication interface which transmits the generated profile to the image forming apparatus with which the link is formed, and a controller which controls the communication interface to transmit an image which is requested to be transmitted by the image forming apparatus with which the link is formed in response to the transmitted profile.
Abstract:
A relaying device may be configured to communicate with an image processing device and a server via a network. The relaying device may receive, from the image processing device, process identification information. The selected data process may be executed on output data outputted from the image processing device or the server. The relaying device may identify an instruction-module as a selected instruction-module from among a plurality of instruction-modules. The relaying device may execute the selected instruction-module so as to execute the selected data process on the output data. The relaying device may transmit processed data to the server in a case that the output data is outputted from the image processing device. The relaying device may transmit the processed data to the image processing device in a case that the output data is outputted from the server.
Abstract:
A determination unit determines whether or not an image forming device is a pre-designated image forming device by using specifying information when security setting including the specifying information that specifies the pre-designated image forming device has been made in image data read from a portable external storage device. A display control unit causes a display unit to display image information specifying the image formed on the basis of the image data in a state in which security of the contents of the image is ensured when the image forming device is not determined by the determination unit to be the pre-designated image forming device, and causes the display unit to display the image information in a state in which security of the contents of the image is not ensured when the image forming device is determined by the determination unit to be the pre-designated image forming device.
Abstract:
An apparatus is capable of executing a facsimile communication using an Error Correction Mode (ECM) function based on a facsimile procedure with a communication partner connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network. In response to receiving, from the communication partner via the network, a communication start request including information indicating a transport protocol for use in the communication, if the apparatus determines that the transport protocol for use in the communication does not have the error correction function, the apparatus sends to the communication partner a notification indicating that the apparatus is capable of executing the communication using the ECM function. Otherwise, if the apparatus determines that the transport protocol for use in the communication has the error correction function, the apparatus sends to the communication partner a notification indicating that the apparatus is incapable of executing the communication using the ECM function.
Abstract:
In a device link system for connecting a first device and a second device through a communication interface, the first device comprises a network connection unit that connects the first device to a network; a web server that delivers a web page describing first device information relating to the first device via the network connection unit; an acquisition unit that acquires second device information relating to the second device from the second device via the communication interface; and a web page processor that generates a page describing the second device information acquired by the acquisition unit and adds the generated page to the web page, and the second device comprises a provision unit that provides the second device information to the first device via the communication interface upon receiving a request for the second device information from the first device.
Abstract:
A person previously records his or her face data in a face data storage unit. When a face recognizing unit recognizes that another person is shown in image data captured by an imaging unit, the image data is transmitted from an image transmitting/receiving unit to another camera. A receiver's camera, only when a face recognizing unit recognizes that the receiver himself or herself is shown in the image data received by an image transmitting/receiving unit, records the image data into a storage unit.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An image reading apparatus is composed of an image input unit for obtaining multi-valued image data by reading an image optically; an image processing unit for performing image processing including screen processing on the multi-valued image data obtained by the image input unit; a data converting unit for converting image data obtained by the image processing of the image processing unit into a form that is described in a page description language; and an image output unit for outputting image data obtained by the conversion of the data converting unit to the outside.
Abstract:
The output method is determined for providing optimal output in order to output image information supplied from the image input unit such as a feeder effectively while taking the states of power supply of the apparatus and the external apparatus into account.
