Abstract:
A communication terminal includes a FAX transmission unit, a network FAX transmission unit, an address book, an option setting unit, and a control unit. The address book is adapted to register for each of one or more destinations a FAX number and an e-mail corresponding to the destination. The option setting unit sets a predetermined option for the FAX transmission unit in connection with registration of the FAX number in the address book. The control unit makes the option effective when the e-mail address is used by the network FAX transmission unit.
Abstract:
An information transmitting apparatus includes: a job status management unit (e.g., a controller made up of a micro computer and other components) for managing the job statuses of transmitting information of the first and second information transmitting devices (e.g., a facsimile unit and e-mail facsimile unit); a display unit (display portion) for displaying the transmission status of jobs in each information transmitting device managed by the job status management unit; and a display controller (e.g., a controller made up of a micro computer and other components) for determining, based on the destination designated by a destination designating device (operation control portion), which transmission status of jobs of the first or second information transmitting device should be displayed on the display unit.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for determining a unique identifier of an imaging device. Such structures of this type, generally, detect the closest imaging device to the user by having the user's mobile device query the online/off-line status of all the imaging devices in the current network list. The user then presses a key on the imaging device. The user's mobile device then polls all the imaging devices in the list to see which imaging devices have made online/off-line transition. A message is posted on the control panel of the imaging device as a means of providing confirmation to the user that this is the imaging device the user desires to print from. Finally, the imaging device returns a unique identifier, such as a network address, to the user's mobile device so that the user can download the print job information from the mobile device to the imaging device and the document can be printed.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus allows a user to obtain only data on a desirable WWW (World Wide Web) server and print the obtained data. The image processing apparatus, which accesses HTML (HyperText Markup Language) data on a WWW server in accordance with designated address information and which prints the HTML data, allows for requesting of a source that specifies the address information an acceptance for the accessing or printing of data other than those data that correspond to the designated address information and that are linked with the pertinent data, and when the acceptance requested cannot be obtained from the source that specifies the address information, halts access or printing of the data other than data that correspond to the designated address information and that are linked with the pertinent data.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus including a scanner engine and an operation panel is provided, in which the image forming apparatus includes: a display part for displaying a selection screen for selecting a transfer destination of scanned data from among a plurality of transfer destinations on the operation panel; a scanning process part for causing the scanner engine to scan a document to produce scanned data; and a transfer part for transferring the scanned data to one or more selected transfer destinations.
Abstract:
A fax routing system and method using a standard fax machine and personal computer. The telephone number is decoded from the telephone number dialing which is generated by the fax machine. This number is looked up in a table. If a corresponding Internet-address is found, the fax is downloaded from the fax machine, converted into a computer file, and sent to the recipient via his Internet address. If a corresponding Internet address is not found, the decoded number is dialed on a telephone line and, thereafter, the telephone line is connected to the fax machine for normal fax delivery.
Abstract:
Image transmission via electronic mail is carried out more easily and at low cost. An image file managed by a database of a system of a service provider (center server) is disclosed on a network. The center server obtains various kinds of information (such as an image ID to specify the image to be transmitted and a destination address) input to the system by a service user who has viewed the disclosed image. Based on this information, the center server reads the specified image file from the database, converts the image file into an attachment document format, generates an image-attached electronic mail message, and transmits the electronic mail message to the specified address.
Abstract:
In a network-based input scanning system, wherein a sender scanning a hard-copy document at a scanner sends the resulting image data to an electronic mail address, the scanner appends an electronic mail address of the sender in the nullFrom:null space of the electronic mail message. In this way, status messages or other responses to the electronic mail message bearing the image data are directed to the sender's computer, and not only to the scanner itself. The identity of the sender is determined by a network-login step the sender uses to access the scanner.
Abstract:
A method and system for location-based image sharing is disclosed. The method comprises providing a sharing rule defining with which one or more recipients images are shared based on location-identifying information, and applying location-identifying information associated with an image to the sharing rule to determine the one or more recipients with which the image should be shared. The system comprises a sharing rule defining with which one or more recipients images are shared based on location-identifying information, and a sharing engine to apply location-identifying information associated with an image to the sharing rule to determine the one or more recipients with which the image should be shared.
Abstract:
A technology for use in an e-mail transmission apparatus capable of preventing or discovering nullimpersonationnull in e-mail transmission efficiently, in which an e-mail is sent not only to a receiving address, but also to a sending address set by a sender.
