Abstract:
A transmission job originating station for controlling transmission of job information, based on the processing of a print job in a printing system, is provided. The control system includes a document generating subsystem for providing at least a portion of the print job to be delivered to a print machine and a user interface for programming a set of information including one or more confirmation destinations with each confirmation destination being disposed remotely of the transmission job originating station. The transmission job originating station further includes a control subsystem which, in response to the processing of at least a portion of the print job at the printing machine, reads the set of information and determines each confirmation destination, programmed with the user interface, to which the job information is to be transmitted.
Abstract:
A long time optical recording and repeated reproduction of multimedia information is possible. Using a printer system or printing process system, on a recording medium such as a sheet, the so-caled multimedia information in the form of dot codes (36) together with images (32) and characters (34) is recorded. The multimedia information includes audio information such as voices, image information obtainable from a camera and others, and digitally coded data obtainable from a personal computer and other. A pen-like information reproducing device (40) is manually moved to scan the dot codes (36) and to take in the dot codes. The original sound is generated by a voice output device (42) such as an earphone, the original image information is outputted on a display such as a CRT, and the digitally coded original data to a page printer or the like.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for producing a halftone image generates halftone cells based on grayscale image data and bitmap code. A human readable pattern is embedded within the halftone image. Each of the halftone cells is formed from dot patterns having one of a plurality of predetermined shapes. The predetermined shapes of the halftone cells form the human readable pattern. The halftone cells are written onto a recording medium to produce the halftone image. Rotation of the halftone cells allows data to be encoded within each of the halftone cells without varying the tone of the image. The tone of the image may be controlled by selectively varying a thickness of the dot patterns within the halftone cells.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus, which is able to receive a peculiar information of other station and a voice message from the another station, records the peculiar information and the voice message in connection with each other.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus of the type which is connected to a digital line and which has the function of automatically informing a particular destination terminal of the reception of a facsimile signal from a distant terminal. In the apparatus, identification information on a particular facsimile apparatus and a telephone number of a destination terminal are previously stored in a memory unit. During the reception of a facsimile signal, the apparatus detects an identification information of a distant terminal which is transmitted therefrom over a digital line. If it is determined that the detected identification information corresponds to the identification information stored in the memory unit, the facsimile apparatus automatically originates a call on the basis of the telephone number of the destination terminal which is stored in the memory unit and sends to the destination terminal a message stating that a facsimile signal has been received from the particular facsimile apparatus. In another form of facsimile apparatus, a telephone number of a destination terminal is previously stored in the memory unit. This form of facsimile apparatus is arranged to automatically originates, if a facsimile signal is received over a first channel of the digital line, a call on the basis of the telephone number stored in the memory unit and sends a message stating that a facsimile signal has been received to the destination terminal over a second channel of the digital line.
Abstract:
A digital signal processing device for processing signals in the audio-frequency band with using a digital input-output interface circuit, analog input-output interfaces as well as digital signal processing circuit for converting digital signals to analog signals and vice versa. A memory is used for storing various programs for processing MODEM functions, voice-coding/synthesizing and the like in the digital signal processor selectively employs either one of the MODEM function processing programs and the voice coding/synthesizing function program, both of which are stored in the memory in accordance with an external command.
Abstract:
A facsimile communication method includes a voice relay mode. In one example, when this voice relay mode has been established, image information is first transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver and then a voice message arbitrarily created by an operator of the transmitter is also transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, together with a telephone number of an addressee of the image information. Thereafter, the voice message is transmitted from the receiver to a telephone of the addressee having the telephone number to verbally apprise of the addressee of the fact that the image information addressed to the addressee has been transmitted to the receiver.
Abstract:
Content management for virtual tours including exposing, within a virtual tour, a hotspot, the hotspot having an associated a hyperlink to a third-party content management provider and access code for accessing content from third-party content management provider; receiving an invocation of the hotspot; invoking the hyperlink associated with the hotspot; invoking the access code for accessing content from third-party content management provider; receiving, from the third-party content management provider, content; and displaying the received content within the virtual tour.
Abstract:
A portable handheld device includes an image sensor for capturing an image; and a one-chip microcontroller having integrated therein a CPU for processing a script language and a multi-core processor for processing an image captured by the image sensor. The multi-core processor includes therein multiple processing units connected in parallel by a crossbar switch. Each processing unit includes an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU). Each ALU includes a first register set for accepting data from the first crossbar switch, and a second register set for loading data to the crossbar switch.
Abstract:
A handheld imaging device includes an image sensor for sensing an image; an integrated chip provided on a wafer substrate, the integrated chip integrating on the wafer substrate a dedicated image processor for processing the sensed image, and an image sensor interface for receiving signals from the image sensor; a plurality of processing units provided in the dedicated image processor, the plurality of processing units connected in parallel by a crossbar switch to form a multi-core processing unit for the processor; and a CPU provided in the integrated chip for performing general operating system duties. A transfer of data from the image sensor interface to the dedicated image processor is conducted entirely within the integrated chip and on the shared wafer substrate.
