Abstract:
A photo album controller which can simultaneously display a high-quality image data and attribute information on separate screens and can easily display the image data or change the attribute information through a small number of input operations is provided.The photo album controller 1 includes an image display screen 3 to display an image data 2, an attribute information display screen 5 to display the attribute information 4, and a remote controller 12 to control the display of the image data 2 and the change of the attribute information 4. The user can easily watch a high-quality image data 2 while visually recognizing a folder name which is changed by the user or a shooting date which is automatically changed through a small number of simple input operations. Moreover, the photo album controller 1 enables the user to watch not only the image data 2 and the attribute information 5 simply but also a detailed status and feedback, for example, when the image data 2 is taken as the sentence 36 by setting up the slide show using a third operation key group 123.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a controller that is operable to: access files that is created by an external device and stored in the external storage device, the files containing images that are to be formed on the sheet by the image forming unit; generate auxiliary identification information including character string that is uniquely assigned for each of the files and for each of folders containing the files by using character information stored in a storage; control at least one of the display and the image forming unit to display file specifying information including filenames of each of the files and the auxiliary identification information so as that the auxiliary identification information is displayed preferentially from the filenames; and allow a user to select a target file that contains an image to be formed on the sheet based on the file specifying information.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes an interface, a detector, a manager, a usage interruption unit, and a determination unit. The interface is for connecting to a peripheral device to form a connected peripheral device. The detector is for detecting a connection and a disconnection between the interface and a peripheral device. The manager is for managing device specifying information that specifies the connected peripheral device. The usage interruption unit is for setting a connected peripheral device to a usage interruption state. The determination unit is for determining whether the usage interruption unit set the connected peripheral device to the usage interruption state. The manager may manage a reconnected peripheral device using device information that existed before the connected peripheral device was disconnected from the interface.
Abstract:
A portable image capture device, program and method for controlling and managing data captured thereby. A device program residing on the portable image capture device generally associates data processing attributes with image files generated for image data captured by the portable image capture device. In some embodiments, the device program associates data processing attributes related to prompts for pre-defined image data with corresponding image files generated in response to the prompts. The device program, and attribute and prompt data therefor are created on a data processing system and are transferrable therefrom to the portable image capture device.

Abstract:
There is provided a communication device comprising: a conversion unit configured to convert first data to second data having a predetermined format; a communication interface configured to interface the communication device with a network; a transmission unit configured to transmit the second data to an external device through the communication interface; a judgment unit configured to judge whether trouble would arise with respect to transmission of the second data to be executed by the transmission unit; and a storage control unit configured to store the second data while associating identification information of the external device with the second data in response to a fact that the judgment unit judges that the trouble would arise with respect to the transmission of the second data.
Abstract:
An optical text scanning device compatible with a small handheld computer such as a personal digital assistant (PDA). The scanning device allows for a clear view of the text that is scanned simultaneous to the scanning process so that the operator can continuously align the device to the text. The scanned images of the text are converted in real-time to standard byte or word characters for subsequent display on the computer's viewing screen. The operator can quickly verify the accuracy of the conversion by comparing the displayed character with the actual character of text on the surface that is being scanned. Scanned text characters are stored in standard digital text files for ease of manipulation.
Abstract:
There is provided an image processing device, which comprises an interface into which a removal storage medium can be connected; at least one device having one of an image reading function and an image output function; a preparation control unit configured to execute a preparation process so that the at least one device moves from a first state corresponding to a non-ready state and a second state corresponding to a ready state; and an image process unit having at least one of a function of storing image data and a function of reading image data; a detection unit configured to detect whether the removal storage medium is connected to the interface; and a controller configured to move the at least one device to the second state in response to detection of insertion of the removal medium into the interface by the detection unit.
Abstract:
When charge collection processing for a predetermined image processing request via removable memory is performed in an image processing apparatus, from which the removable memory is detachable via a removable memory interface, a central processing unit causes the removable memory interface to shift to a disconnected state based on a completion state of the predetermined image processing request by a scanner, printer, or the like via the removable memory.
Abstract:
A memory card is set into a slot of a printer. The printer distinguishes whether or not frames of the memory card are recorded in a grouping format. When the frames are recorded in the grouping format, a main-index picture merely including representative frames of the grouped frames is displayed. Selection of the representative frame changes the picture to a sub-index picture for displaying an index of the frames included in the group concerned. In comparison with a case in that all the frames are displayed on the sole index picture, classification of the frames is easily grasped. Further, the frames may be confirmed every group so that it is easy to search the frame.
