Abstract:
An image processing device for controlling data transfer includes an image scanner, an image printer, a facsimile control unit, bus lines for data transfer, a bidirectional parallel interface unit, and a main CPU in a housing. The device is connected to an external data processing device through the parallel interface unit. In addition to the functions which are obtained independent from the external data processing device, the image processing device realizes various kinds of functions by controlling the image scanner, the image printer facsimile control unit and the interface unit by the main CPU in response to commands from the data processing device. As a result, various kinds of image processing functions are carried out.
Abstract:
A control method performed by an apparatus that communicates with a device and that includes a display screen includes causing the display screen to display a first screen including a scan object used for scanning and a predetermined object different from the scan object, and causing the display screen to display, as a screen corresponding to the scan object, a second screen including a scan setting item. In addition, the display screen is caused to display, as a screen corresponding to the predetermined object, a third screen that does not include the scan setting item and that includes information for prompting a user to put the apparatus close to the device.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal transmits a document file to a conversion server. In a case where it is determined that an image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring from the conversion server print data acquired by converting the document file, information for acquisition of the print data from the conversion server by the image forming apparatus is transmitted to the image forming apparatus. In a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is not capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server, the print data is acquired from the conversion server and transmitted to the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An intelligent camera network cooperatively acquires images over a wireless network. The network automatically captures images based on a trigger. The trigger may include messages from other image capturing devices. A first image capture devices is triggered to acquire an image based on a message from at least one other image capture device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a print control apparatus that is connected to a data processing apparatus through a first communication unit and connected to an image forming apparatus through a second communication unit.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that allows a remote operation terminal to operate an image processing apparatus connected by SIP. On this account, the image forming apparatus (100) connected to the remote operation terminal (300) by SIP includes a remote operation-request message receiving part that receive a remote-operation request message from the remote operation terminal (300), a remote-operation response message transmitting part that transmits a remote-operation response message in response to the remote-operation request message, and an operation-screen information transmitting part that transmits operation screen information of the image forming apparatus (100) to the remote operation terminal (300) in accordance with the communication condition of the communication session when an SIP-based communication session is established between the remote operation terminal (300) and the image forming apparatus (100).

The present invention relates to a print control apparatus that is connected to a data processing apparatus through a first communication unit and connected to an image forming apparatus through a second communication unit.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, a protocol permits communications between platforms and image devices. This allows, for example, the platform to specify particular types of information that the platform may want, the format of information the platform may prefer, and other information that may reduce the amount of processing in the platform. For example, conventionally, in gesture recognition software, the platform receives an ongoing stream of video to be parsed, searched and processed in order to identify gestures. This may consume communications bandwidth between platforms and imaging devices, particularly in cases where wireless communications or other bandwidth limited communications may be involved.
Abstract:
In an information processing apparatus controlling a scanner, a reading instruction and a reading setting made in the scanner is detected by the scanner driver. When the reading instruction is detected, reading to be performed according to the detected reading setting is acquired by an application via an operating system, and the scanner driver is instructed that the scanner executes the reading according to the acquired reading setting, with the application.
Abstract:
An image processing system identifies desired views of a particular subject and triggers a mobile camera device in proximity to the subject to capture a digital image, thus collecting new image data to augment an existing database. In an exemplary method, location data for a camera-equipped mobile communication device in visual proximity to a subject of interest is received at an image collection server. Upon determining whether the location data corresponds to a desired view of the subject of interest, the image collection server sends an image capture request to the mobile device, triggering the user of the device to capture an image of the subject. Finally, digital image data is received from the mobile communication device in response to the image capture request. The digital image data may then be used for assembling a composite representation of the subject of interest, such as a 3D model of the subject.
