Abstract: A web browser section provided in a scanner comprises a management table for relating URLs and setup values to each other and managing them and a URL interpretation section. A URL entered from a web browser installed in an information terminal is converted into a setup value by the URL interpretation section. The setup value is set in a drive control section through a setting section, whereby an image is read under a desired read condition.

Abstract: An image acquisition system has a computer and one or more imaging devices coupled to the computer. Each imaging device has a device memory and is capable of capturing a digital image and storing the image in its memory. An image device manager is implemented in software on the computer to control operation of the imaging devices. The image device manager presents a user interface (UI) within the familiar graphical windowing environment. The UI has a context space that pertains to a particular imaging context (e.g., scanning, photography, and video). The UI also has a persistently-visible imaging menu positioned within the context space that lists options particular to the imaging context. For example, if the context space pertains to the digital camera context, the menu lists options to take a picture, store the image on the computer, send the image in an email, and so on. In the scanner context, the menu lists options to select an image type, preview an image, send the image to a particular destination, and scan the image. The image acquisition system also includes a set of application program interfaces (APIs) that expose image management functionality to applications. The APIs enable applications to manage loading and unloading of imaging devices, monitor device events, query device information properties, create device objects, capture images using the devices, and store or manipulate the images after their capture.

Abstract: An image processing device stores a main program that controls basic operations that the device conducts as a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile machine, etc., as well as a sub program that controls additional operations that the device conducts as a net work scanner. When a user purchases an additional function pack and sends a production number of the image processing device and ID information of the pack to a managing device, the managing device returns a releasing key produced by encoding the production number. A control section of the device decodes the releasing key, and permits the foregoing access if the production number obtained by the decoding matches that stored in the memory section. Therefore, even after shipment, extension of functions can be smoothly implemented at lower costs without replacement of boards or memories. Thus, an image processing device realized with a digital complex machine is arranged so that extension of functions after shipment can be smoothly implemented at lower costs.

Abstract: A system and method for performing scanning operations using a scanner connected to a server computer and transmitting acquired images from the scanner server to a client computer. A scan-to-application process is utilized which allows control of the scanner or other image acquiring device which is connected to a scanner server using a virtual TWAIN driver which interfaces to an application program running in the client computer. Image files are also transmitted to a local file storage device of the client computer using a scan-to-file operation. A network protocol is used to implement both the scan-to-application and scan-to-file operation. Computer memories are utilized to store data structures or tables containing various information utilized during the file transfer procedures. Computer memories are also used to buffer and store the protocol packet headers and transmitted information.

The portable unit wirelessly transfers a telephone conversation recording command to the wireless facsimile apparatus according to the telephone conversation recording command input by a user of the portable unit. Upon receiving the telephone conversation recording command, the cordless facsimile apparatus receives an RF signal corresponding to the telephone conversation, being transferred between the portable unit and the base unit, converts the received RF signal to voice data, and stores the voice data in a memory. Also, the portable unit can transfer a telephone conversation playback command to the cordless facsimile apparatus according to the telephone conversation playback command input by the user of the portable unit. Upon receiving the telephone conversation playback command, the cordless facsimile apparatus reads the voice data stored in the memory, converts the read voice data to the RF signal, and transfers the RF signal to the portable unit. Then, is the portable unit receives the RF signal transferred from the cordless facsimile apparatus and converts the received RF signal to the voice signal.

Abstract: A controlling device, after acquiring a file list, media management information (media generation control) and contents management information (contents generation count) of a removable storage medium connected to a controlled device, transmits a command (ERASE, WRITE etc.) containing the media management information and the contents management information to the controlled device. The controlled device compares the media management information held by the controlled device with the media management information contained in the control information, and executes a process according to the command if both media management information mutually coincide but rejects the command if both media management information do not coincide. Thus the controlled device is rendered capable of managing the removable storage medium in a simple manner and without error.
