摘要:
A service providing system includes input/output devices, a service providing device configured to provide services by driving the input/output devices, and a preparation device, in response to receipt of a provision command for a service, configured to selectively place the input/output devices, for providing the service, which are in a non-standby state, into a standby state. In a multi-function device system including input/output devices, a method of providing a service includes receiving a provision command for a service, and selectively placing the input/output devices for providing the service into a standby state in response to the provision command.

A printing apparatus is connected to a WAN and a LAN and can perform a bidirectional communication with each terminal in those networks. In the printing apparatus, a CPU sends a Web server a request signal, which received from a LAN terminal, and receives content data sent from the web server as a response to the request signal. On the basis of a predetermined determination condition, the CPU determines whether to cause a printing unit to print the content data sent from the web server. If determining that the content data is to be printed, the CPU causes the printing unit to print the content data.

An information preparation device, such as a personal computer, detects non-consecutive position information, such as times and dates, based on parameters (S11), such as preinputted non-consecutive point detection margins, and prepares (S12) an information table with image information for each non-consecutive position. Based on editing parameters, the device synthesizes and edits (S13) the information in the information table by date and the like. Then the device divides the information into objects, which is a data format, by data The device retrieves contents information and the like that corresponds to the divided information, and generates (S14) and outputs (S15) scenario information. The date and the like indicated by the divided regions serve as an index on buttons of menus that the user operates to easily select and display a desired images.

An imaging device capable printing images in a plurality of print modes includes an image storage, a print mode data storage that stores a plurality of pieces of print mode data corresponding to the plurality of print modes, a consumable substance quantity calculating system that calculates quantity of consumable substances necessary for printing images in accordance with image data stored in the image storage, a print cost calculating system that calculates, for each of the plurality of print modes, a print cost based on the quantity of the consumable substances calculated by the consumable substance quantity calculating system. The print costs corresponding to the plurality of print modes are displayed in association with the plurality of print modes, and a printing system executes a printing operation in a designated print mode in accordance with the image data stored in the image storage.

A printer controller wherein original outline data representative of the outline of a figure are converted by an approximating device into approximative outline data including straight segment data representative straight segments which approximate curved segments of the original outline. The approximating device is adapted to lower the accuracy of approximation of the curved segments by the straight segments, until the amount of the approximation data is reduced to such an extent that the approximative data can be entirely stored in a currently available empty area of a random-access memory, before the approximative data are converted into bit map data representative of image dots filling the interior of the figure outline.

A hybrid vehicle includes a power storage device, an engine, a power generation apparatus, an input apparatus, and an ECU. The power generation apparatus is configured to generate charging power of the power storage device by using output of the engine. The input apparatus is configured to request, by a user input, an increase in a power storage amount of the power storage device. The ECU is configured to: (a) control charging of the power storage device by the power generation apparatus and accelerate the charging of the power storage device, when the increase in the power storage amount is requested, and (b) suppress charging of the power storage device at the time when a travel load is small in comparison with charging of the power storage device at the time when the travel load is large, when the increase in the power storage amount is requested.

An image processing apparatus comprises: an image reading portion which has a box-shaped first housing with a reading surface, and a scanning device displaceable along the reading surface in the first housing, and reads a first image on a document by relatively displacing the document and scanning device; and an image recording portion which includes a recording medium supply device accommodating a recording medium, a feeding mechanism feeding the recording medium fed out of the supply device, a recording device recording a second image on the recording medium, and a second housing incorporating at least the feeding mechanism and recording device. The apparatus is placed on a rest surface in a substantially upright position, and the reading portion is changeable in position between an upright position in which the reading surface is opposed to the recording portion, and a horizontal position in which the reading surface faces upward.
