Abstract:
A distribution control system includes a managing unit configured to manage sites where communication terminals are positioned; a generating unit configured to generate distribution data; a converting unit configured to convert the distribution data into transmission data; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the distribution data to one or more communication terminals that are managed to be positioned at a same site by the managing unit.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a first communication circuit that communicates with a memory that stores address information of an image processing apparatus, circuitry that reads the address information of the image processing apparatus from the memory, and a second communication circuit that exchanges data with the image processing apparatus identified with the address information read from the memory through a communication network.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus including a display unit that displays an image is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine that an electronic pen or a pointer has come into contact with the display unit, and a display control unit configured to control the display unit to display a display corresponding to the pointer when the determination unit determines that the contact with the display unit has been made by the pointer.
Abstract:
A distribution control system distributes data to a communication terminal through a communication network. The distribution control system includes a receiver configured to receive, from the communication terminal, transmission delay time information indicating transmission delay time from when the data is distributed by the distribution control system to when the data is received by the communication terminal; and a changing unit configured to change, based on the transmission delay time information received by the receiver, a parameter of reproduction quality when the data is reproduced by the communication terminal.
Abstract:
An information processor includes: a storage unit that stores therein output control information used for setting an output environment of an external output device; a detecting unit that acquires information indicating the output environment of the external output device; a first control unit that determines the output environment acquired by the detecting unit by referring to the output control information stored in the storage unit; and a second control unit that operates the external output device in accordance with the output environment determined by the first control unit.
Abstract:
In a network synchronization system including plural information processing devices, a first information processing device includes a synchronization-use common storage unit configured to copy and store first information for each user authorized to use the first information processing device, so that the first information can be shared with another information processing device; and a second information processing device includes a setting information unit configured to store second information for each user authorized to use the second information processing device, and a synchronization control unit configured to compare the second information with the first information, and to update the second information to latest information based on a result of the comparison. The synchronization control unit acquires common update information common to the information processing devices, which is stored in the synchronization-use common storage unit.
Abstract:
In a multi-function input/output device, an optical reading unit optically reads an optically readable code from a device control setting medium on which device control setting information, including use authentication information and unit-control-setting information for a document input control setting unit, a document-data-processing control setting unit, and a document-data-output control setting unit, is recorded. The device control setting information including the use authentication information is recognized from the code read by the optical reading unit. A user authentication unit authenticates the user by using a use authentication code of the use authentication information. A setting processing unit sets the unit-control-setting information based on a recognition result of the device control setting information and the use authentication information.
Abstract:
In a network communication system, data is exchanged between a source computer and a destination computer via a file server. The source computer is a network multifunction product and includes an uploading unit that uploads a file to the file server; and a URI sending unit that sends a Universal Resource Identifier (URI) of the file to the destination computer by e-mail. The destination computer is also a network multifunction product and includes a table that holds security information that is required to access to the file; a URI receiving unit that receives the URI; and a downloading unit that downloads the file from the file server using the security information that corresponds to the URI.
Abstract:
A document OCR implementing device, includes a reading part configured to read a document and form a recognition image; an obtaining part configured to perform image processing of the recognition image and obtain a state of the recognition image; a plurality of OCR engines configured to perform a character recognition process of the recognition image; and a designating part configured to designate the OCR engine by combining the recognition image and the OCR engine; wherein the character recognition process is implemented by using the OCR engine designated by the designating part.
Abstract:
An information providing system is disclosed that includes: plural multifunctional information stations having at least printing, facsimile, and e-mailing functions; and a center server connected to the multifunctional information stations via a network. The center server receives applications, issues documents, and distributes information via the multifunctional information stations. A user can file an application and have a document issued using the multifunctional information station disposed in a convenience store.
