Abstract:
In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives a selection of an image data among plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the mobile terminal, and prints an image based on the selected image data. A communication between the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus is performed wirelessly with an IEEE 802.11 standard. The image forming apparatus rejects a connection establishment request from another mobile terminal except for the mobile terminal, when the wireless communication with the mobile terminal is established.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a digital photographing apparatus which identifies a registered user and applies digital photographing apparatus setting information corresponding to the identified user and a method of controlling the same. The apparatus includes an input unit that receives user identification information; an identifying unit that identifies a user registered to the digital photographing apparatus based on received user identification information; a storage unit that stores setting information regarding the digital photographing apparatus corresponding to a user registered to the digital photographing apparatus; and a control unit that confirms setting information regarding the digital photographing apparatus corresponding to the identified user and applies a setting corresponding to the confirmed setting information to the digital photographing apparatus.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal 102, when an MFP 101 is approached, transmits to the MFP 101, using a short-range wireless communication, a scan start instruction and access information. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 102, when job-related information related to a job is received, publicizes accessibly a storage area, and when the job corresponding to the job-related information completes, makes the publicized storage area to be unpublicized. On the other hand, the MFP 101 receives the scan start instruction and the access information, issues the job-related information, notifies, using the short-range wireless communication, the mobile terminal of the job-related information, and stores the image data read from the original in accordance with the start instruction by accessing the publicized storage area.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a printing device side wireless communication unit configured to execute wireless communication with a mobile terminal, an operation acquisition unit configured to acquire user operation thereof, and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire operation data which is generated as the operation acquisition unit acquires a user operation, acquire establishment data which is generated as the printing device side wireless communication unit establishes a wireless communication with the mobile terminal, and issue a request control to control the printing device side wireless communication unit to transmit request data requesting the mobile terminal to transmit print data necessary for printing, via the wireless communication, when the establishment data is acquired, the request control being issued in accordance with the operation data as acquired.
Abstract:
A communication system includes: a first communication device carried by a user and including a first intra-body communication unit configured to carry out data communication with the second communication device via the user's body, and a charge control unit configured to control a charge amount on the body surface; and a second communication device including a capacitive touch panel, an intra-body communication antenna, a second intra-body communication unit configured to carry out data communication with the first communication device via the body, and an intra-body communication control unit configured to perform control to increase signal strength of a signal received at the second intra-body communication unit when a measured value of the signal strength is lower than a predetermined threshold under a condition that user's touch operation on the touch panel is started.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including: a display unit that displays information relating to a user interface; a UI setting storage unit that stores a setting relating to the user interface; a near field communication unit that communicates with a portable communication terminal via a near field communication to recognize that the portable communication terminal is within a communicable range; an external setting acquiring unit that receives a setting relating to a user interface of the portable communication terminal via the near field communication unit; and a UI setting changing unit that changes the setting stored in the UI setting storage unit based on the setting acquired from the portable communication terminal.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including: a near field communication unit configured to make a short-range wireless communication with a portable information processing device including a display unit; a recognition unit configured to recognize a portable information processing device that is within a communicable range through communication via the near field communication unit; a job setting unit configured to transmit data for displaying a job setting screen on the display unit of the recognized portable information processing device, via the near field communication unit; and a job control unit configured to execute a job in response to a start instruction of the job, wherein the job setting unit receives a job setting, which is made by using the job setting screen, via the near field communication unit after the recognition to receive the job setting from the portable information processing device, and the job control unit receives a start instruction for the job whose job setting is received.
Abstract:
Provided are methods of controlling a pop-up, and image forming apparatuses and user terminals that use the control methods. Although an interruption occurs in a user terminal that is able to communicate with the image forming apparatus while an operation is performed in the image forming apparatus, the method may control the interruption without an error.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus a chassis, a sheet supporting unit disposed on the chassis configured to receive a sheet of a document placed thereon, a reading unit movably disposed on the chassis and configured to read an image on the sheet placed on the sheet supporting unit while moving in a predetermined direction, a reference member provided at a side portion of the sheet supporting unit, the sheet being placed on the sheet supporting unit such that one end of the sheet contacts the reference member, and an electrostatic capacitive touch key unit disposed on a side portion of the chassis is provided. Additionally, the reference member and the electrostatic capacitive touch key unit are arranged at opposite side portions, in the predetermined direction, of the chassis.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a communication unit which communicates with a communication device, and can write data received from the communication device in a memory. The apparatus receives an operation request to the apparatus from the communication device, and stores the received operation request in the memory. The apparatus has a function of specifying a function corresponding to the operation request of a plurality of functions included in the apparatus in a state in which the operation request is stored in the memory. When the function is specified, and is not activated, the apparatus activates the function, and controls the activated function.
