Abstract:
An information processing device includes: a storage that stores information associating features with respective processing information; an electronic image acquisition unit that acquires an electronic image obtained by reading an image of an original; a specifying unit that recognizes a feature contained in the acquired electronic image, and specifies the processing information associated with the recognized feature and stored in the storage as processing information for use in processing the acquired electronic image; and a display control unit that displays information indicating the specified processing information and a part of the image where the feature is recognized in the acquired electronic image.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to audio and video processing. One claim recites a portable apparatus comprising: electronic memory comprising one or more identifiers, each of the identifiers being associated with previously accessed audio or video items, with each previously accessed audio or video item including an identifier associated therewith; and a logic processor programmed for: a. restricting access to an encountered audio or video item if an identifier associated with the encountered audio or video item is one of the one or more identifiers associated with the previously accessed audio or video items, and b. limiting a number of content items with different user identifiers that can be accessed in a predetermined amount of time. Other claims and combinations are provided as well.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a registration unit configured to register an ID tag, a detection unit configured to detect an ID tag within a detection area and a determination unit configured to determine if the ID tag detected by the detection unit is registered. The imaging apparatus further includes a operation member configured to execute a predetermined operation, and a control unit configured to prevent execution of the predetermined operation even if the operation member is operated, in cases where the ID tag detected by the detection unit is not registered in the registration unit.
Abstract:
In an image forming apparatus outputting a document, a copy condition of the output document and the order of priority among the set copy condition, a condition on the part of the machine, and a condition input by the user to be actually decided on as a copy condition are set. The information is then embedded and output. In an image forming apparatus making a copy, the output printed material is scanned and the embedded copy condition and order of priority are extracted and restored. Then, for each item of the copy conditions, a condition having a higher priority among the aforementioned conditions is decided on as a copy condition of the printed material, so that the printed material is copied under the decided condition.

Abstract:
An image transmitting apparatus transmits an image of a document in which an information disclosure level is set. A transmission operation to a specified destination is performed when an information disclosure level set in the specified destination is higher than the information disclosure level set in a document to be transmitted.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for transmitting streams of data. The present invention also relates to generating packet watermarks and packet watermark keys. The present invention also relates to a computerized system for packaging data for transmission to a user. The system may utilize computer code to generate a bandwidth rights certificate that may include: at least one cryptographic credential; routing information for the transmission; and, optionally, a digital signature of a certificate owner; a unique identification code of a certificate owner; a certificate validity period; and pricing information for use of bandwidth. The present invention also relates to an electronic method and system for purchasing good and services by establishing an account whereby a customer is credited with a predetermined amount of bandwidth usage, and then charges are assessed against the account in an amount of bandwidth usage which corresponds to the agreed upon purchase value for the selected item.
Abstract:
An information dissemination system that obtains information from a multifunction document production device that is programmed to store documents along with user provided dissemination level authorizations and with one or more keywords extracted from the document, and to disseminate such documents according to persons authorized to receive the documents based on prior and real time inquiries of a requestor, with a knowledge agent matching the extracted keywords against the queries.
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling the reproduction of documents containing sensitive information includes an input for receiving a document; a device for storing a digitized document; a detector for identifying encoded sensitive information; a decoder operatively connected to the detector, which extracts digitally encoded information from the sensitive information; a processor operatively connected to the decoder, which receives digitally decoded sensitive information; a user interface module for receiving a user identity and an access mediator for receiving decoded sensitive information from the processor, comparing the user identity with a decoding scheme associated with the document and allowing or disallowing the decoded sensitive information to be reproduced.
