Abstract:
An image processing section provided in a digital camera converts the image photographed in a document photographing mode to any data format that a destination (a facsimile or a personal computer) selected by a user requires.
Abstract:
A method of inserting a scanned document includes inputting a user command to select a position in a first document file where to insert a second document file, generating a file corresponding to the second document file, to have same format as the first document file, and generating a third document file in which the second document file is inserted in the first document file, at the selected position.
Abstract:
In an Internet facsimile apparatus, a facsimile controller temporarily stores data received from a G3 (Group 3) facsimile apparatus or the other terminal unit to communicate with. A packetizer/depacketizer packetizes the data sequentially read out in accordance with size information fed from a size information storage and feeds the resulting packets to a UDPTL controller and a buffer. The packetizer/depacketizer determines whether data received from the other terminal unit and decoded is a response to data sent from the G3 facsimile apparatus or retransmitted data, and delivers a response detection signal representative of the result of decision to the UDPTL controller. In the UDPTL controller, a filtering circuit deletes stored past data in accordance with the response detection signal representative of a response. The apparatus reduces a load on an IP (Internet Protocol) network.
Abstract:
A scanner with an output port connected to a printer or a storage device. The scanner includes a casing, a scanning module installed inside the casing for scanning a document and generating corresponding image data, a control unit installed in the casing for controlling the operations of the scanner, and an output port electrically connected to the control unit for connecting to an external printer or a portable storage device. When the scanning module finishes scanning a document, the control unit transmits the image data of the document to the storage device or to the printer for printing according to the type of device connected to the output port.
Abstract:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for efficiently storing and accessing electronic messages representing fax transmissions. The messages are extended according to a fax schema that defines formats for adding fax protocol specific and/or or fax application specific data fields to an electronic message. According to the fax schema, the messages have relationships with other data fields stored using other schemas that define the accounting services, message content, and message participants associated with the fax transmission. The fax schema promotes efficient storage and access of electronic messages representing fax transmissions, while also facilitating integrating messages received by fax transmission with other types of existing message protocols and message applications.
Abstract:
The image reading system comprises an image reading device, to which an external interface adaptor and a recording medium interface adaptor can be selectively connected. The external interface adaptor is provided with an interface circuit by which a format of image data is converted to that which conforms to a device provided externally to the image reading device. The device may be a computer. The recording medium interface adaptor is provided with a recording medium attaching unit to which a recording medium is attachable. An operation switch is disposed on the recording medium interface adaptor so that the image data can be recorded to the recording medium.
Abstract:
An image communication system including electronic-mail apparatuses each having a function to add image-file processing information to an image file attached to an electronic mail. The image processing capability of each apparatus is examined in advance. In a transmitting-side apparatus, an image file is generated in accordance with the capability, and an electronic mail, to which the image file is attached, is transmitted to a receiving-side apparatus. Further, if the image file attached to the transmitted electronic mail cannot be processed by the receiving-side apparatus, the receiving-side apparatus notifies the transmitting-side apparatus of clarified cause of,processing failure, further, transmits its image-file processing capability and the unprocessed transmitted electronic mail to the transmitting-side apparatus. Thus, efficient image-file transmission/reception can be performed.
Abstract:
When sending photographic image data obtained in an electronic camera 1 via a communication interface 42 to a radio telephone line of a PDC 3, a PHS 4, etc., an RISC-CPU 11 converts the image data to data having a configuration allowing communication and further converts by software processing the communication-allowing configuration data to data corresponding to the type of the radio telephone line.
Abstract:
When an external communication device (14) is connected to an image processing apparatus, the external communication device (14) transfers identification information to the image processing apparatus through a communication driver (10). A central processing portion (8) transmits information of the image processing apparatus through the communication driver (10) when a communication with the connected communication device (14) is possible. This information of the image processing apparatus is information which can be processed by the communication device, and includes a program which can be executed by the communication device (14). As a result of executing the program of the information of the image processing apparatus, functions of photographing and playback and the like of the image processing apparatus can be selected and instructed from the communication device (14).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described which provide secure interactive communication of text and image information between a central server computer and one or more client computers located at remote sites for the purpose of storing and retrieving files describing and identifying unique products, services, or individuals. A feature of the system is the ability to associate an identification image with a plurality of accounts, transactions, or records and identify a user not physically present at the client computer. Textual information and image data from one or more of the remote sites are stored separately at the location of the central server computer, requests for information are entered from remote terminals, the system being able to respond to multiple user requests simultaneously, and the information requested is recalled and downloaded for review to be displayed at the remote site.
