Abstract:
A communication system includes a portable phone and a digital still camera. The user selects an image for transmission, and data indicating a frame number of the selected image is sent from the portable phone to the digital still camera. The portable phone sends a re-size instruction to the digital still camera. The digital still camera re-sizes the image data to reduce a data quantity thereof. The re-sized image data is sent from the digital still camera to the portable phone. The image data is sent from the portable phone via a network to a partner communication system. The image data has a reduced data quantity through the re-sizing and hence can be completely transmitted thereto in a relatively short period of time.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of storing or transferring an image along with an image-processing parameter for processing the image. When storing or transferring a second image for storage or transfer which has a second resolution for storage or transfer differing from a reference resolution, a reference image-processing parameter set according to a reference resolution image having the reference resolution is corrected based on a difference between the reference resolution and the second resolution, so that it becomes a second parameter corresponding to the second image. The second parameter obtained by the correction is stored or transferred along with the second image.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes a resolution-independent data generation unit which generates resolution-independent data, which does not depend on a resolution, from input data, a resolution-dependent data generation unit which generates resolution-dependent data, which depends on a resolution and is used to be rendered to bitmap data, from the generated resolution-independent data, a saving unit which saves the generated resolution-independent data and the generated resolution-dependent data, an apparatus information acquisition unit which acquires image output apparatus information associated with the image output apparatus, an apparatus information determination unit which determines whether or not the image output apparatus information matches image processing apparatus information associated with the image processing apparatus, and a data transmission unit which transmits the resolution-dependent data as the output data when it is determined that the image output apparatus information matches the image processing apparatus information.
Abstract:
An ifax communication unit that performs communication of image data through the Internet, which is mounted on an image forming apparatus, includes a destination address table, which is stored in a memory unit, for setting original scanning resolution to resolution defined by a protocol of the Internet. While setting of the scanning resolution is valid, when a user selects transmission of image data by an ifax transmission (E-MAIL) mode, even if the original scanning resolution is set to another resolution in a FAX mode, the resolution is changed to the resolution defined by the protocol and original scanning and transmission is performed.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes a number of devices or techniques that can be capable of obtaining an operational capacity for a shared image device; estimating at least one operational resource to perform a transformation of one or more images based at least in part on the obtaining the operational capacity; and sharing the one or more images with at least one other shared image device in a manner that performs the transformation of the one or more images.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image forming apparatus, including: a scanner unit to read an original image to generate image data; and a control unit to judge whether there is a security watermark in the original image or not based on the image data, and to prohibit reducing the number of pixels of the image data to a predetermined value or less when the control unit recognizes a presence the security watermark in the original image.
Abstract:
A communication device includes a communication unit that carries out communications via a plurality communication channels and a plurality of communication protocols and a storage unit storing ability management information that registers a plurality of groups of specifying information for specifying another communication device, a communication channel and a communication protocol used by the other communication device, and identification information used in the communication channel and the communication protocol. The communication device also includes a controller for selecting the communication channel, the communication protocol, and the identification information corresponding to the specifying information of a receiving communication device, from registered information within an ability management table, and for carrying out the communication by the communication unit.
Abstract:
An image capturing method and an image-capturing device thereof are provided. Firstly, a dividing rule for dividing a first part and a second part is set, such that the positions and sizes of the first and the second parts are obtained accordingly. Next, a first resolution corresponding to the first part and a second resolution corresponding to the second part are set respectively. Then, the positions and sizes of the first and the second parts, the first resolution and the second resolution are recorded in a reference table. Next, an image of an object is captured to obtain a multi-resolution analog signal. Then, the multi-resolution analog signal is transformed to a multi-resolution digital signal. After that, a first part image corresponding to the first part and a second part image corresponding to the second part are respectively obtained with reference to the multi-resolution digital signal.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus is provided which can execute a rotation process of an image when there is insufficient storage capacity. In a multi-function device to read images on two sides of a document by reversing a transfer direction of the document in an automatic document feeder, an estimated available capacity can be obtained based on a previously set condition, such as the resolution or gradation of an image scanner. Based on the estimated available capacity, it can be judged whether the rotation process can be performed. When the rotation process can not be performed, a process to reduce a set value of the condition is executed. When the set value of the condition is reduced, an attempt can be made to execute the process under the reduced set value.
