Abstract:
An information processing apparatus is provided, in which content and position information generated independently of each other are recorded in a recording medium. The apparatus includes a recording medium in which the content and the position information are recorded and a deletion unit deleting position information temporally associated with a piece of the content from the recording medium when the piece of content is deleted from the recording medium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a an electronic device such as a digital camera 300 that includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment a digital camera keep track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a “delete all transferred images” which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, a deletion criteria is used to prioritize which images are deleted first.
Abstract:
An image processing device comprises an image data input means 2, an image data storage means 12 for storing the image data being input, an image data processing means 6 having multiple processing modes for outputting the stored image data, and a image data erasing means for erasing the image data stored in the storage means 12. The device further comprises erase count control means 8, 14 for controlling the number of times for erasing image data capable of having the number of times of erase set arbitrarily according to the security level required for each mode, and capable of having the set number of times of erase changed in mid-flow. Confidentiality is protected by performing erase operations repeatedly to the region storing the unnecessary image data according to the security level.
Abstract:
A data recording apparatus includes: a data recording device that records acquired data in a recording medium; a target data specifying device that specifies target data to which data processing is to be performed out of data recorded in the recording medium based on, an instruction by a user; a recordable data number calculation device that calculates a number of the acquired data that will be able to be recorded in the recording medium by performing the data processing to the target data based on a remaining capacity of the recording medium and a content of processing of the data processing; a display control device that displays on a display device a result of the calculation by the recordable data number calculation device before the data processing is performed.
Abstract:
A multi-functional peripheral 21 according to this invention operates in accordance with a web browser software, and includes: a web browser section 5 configured to store cookie information received from a web server section 53 into a setting information database 6; and an apparatus control section 7 configured to manage the cookie information in accordance with a mode set by a verification mode setting section 13. In a case where the mode set by the verification mode setting section 13 is a user verification inactive mode, the apparatus control section 7 discards the cookie information from the setting information database 6 after operation of the web browser section is terminated.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a memory that memorizes a storage area storing document data; a receiving unit that receives an instruction for creating a second storage area corresponding to a first storage area created by another image forming apparatus; and a creating unit that creates the second storage area associated with information for identifying another image forming apparatus in the memory when the receiving unit receives the instruction to create the second storage area.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus acquires a print target image, scans an image on a sheet, recognizes reuse information in the image scanned from the sheet, generates reuse information after printing the print target image from the recognized reuse information and the acquired print target image, selects an area where the reuse information can be printed, in the acquired print target image, combines the reuse information with the selected area in the print target image, deletes the image on the sheet from which the image is scanned, and forms the combined image on the sheet from which the image is deleted, with a erasable image forming material.

Abstract:
An image-data receiving unit receives image data from other image communication apparatus. A storing unit stores therein the image data. An output unit outputs the image data stored in the storing unit. A reading unit reads the image data output by the output unit. An extracting unit extracts a difference between the image data read by the reading unit and the image data stored in the storing unit. A determining unit determines whether the difference extracted by the extracting unit satisfies a predetermined condition. A control unit controls a transmission of a message to other image communication apparatus based on a result of determination by the determining unit.
Abstract:
When a rating setting dial is turned in a second direction while setting an evaluation ranking for a captured image displayed on a rating screen, an MPU lowers the evaluation ranking set for said captured image while adding the corresponding evaluation ranking information to the image file of the captured image. In addition, when the rating setting dial is further turned in the second direction while the evaluation ranking set for the captured image is at the lowest evaluation ranking, the MPU adds deletion candidate specifying information, which enables the identification of said captured image as a deletion candidate file, to the image file of the captured image.
