Abstract:
An image processing system including an image processing apparatus and an information processing device. The information processing device includes a display controller to control displaying a screen on a display in accordance with user operation involving transition of the displayed screen and an operational information transmitter to transfer operational information on the user operation involving the transition of the displayed screen. The image processing apparatus includes an image processing apparatus screen transition processor to perform transition of screen on the image processing apparatus in accordance with receiving the operational information. The display controller acquires status on transitioning screen of the image processing apparatus in accordance with the user operation instructing to transition to a home screen as a starting point of the user operation and gets the screen displayed on the display back to status before the transition if the screen on the image processing apparatus is untransitionable.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An image scanner including a near field communication unit configured to perform near field communication with a device located within a communicable distance from the near field communication unit, an image sensor, and a controller connected with the image sensor via a cable, the controller being configured to perform an image data generating operation of controlling the image sensor to scan an image and generate image data, detect a start of the near field communication between the near field communication unit and the device, based on a signal output from the near field communication unit, and when detecting the start of the near field communication, halt the image data generating operation until the near field communication unit completes data communication with the device.
Abstract:
In a communication terminal, a transmission control unit transmits, by a first wireless communication method to the information processing apparatus, instruction for executing wireless communication by a second wireless communication method using communication information stored in the information processing apparatus. In an information processing apparatus, a storage unit stores the communication information. A communication unit executes wireless communication by the second wireless communication method using the communication information stored in the storage unit, in a case where the instruction is transmitted by the transmission control unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying digital image files on a standard display device such as a television set is provided in the form of a set-top box. The box includes an integrated circuit and memory buffer for computing an image from a file, a second memory buffer for storing computed images, and a video output for delivering the images to the display device. Preferably, the set-top box also includes an infrared receiver for remote operation. The set-top box receives the image files from standard storage media such as floppy disks.
Abstract:
In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives a selection of an image data among plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the mobile terminal and prints an image based on the selected image data. A communication between the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus is performed wirelessly with an IEEE 802.11 standard. The image forming apparatus continuously performs a second printing, when the receiving section receives a selected image data again in a condition that the communication with the mobile terminal is continuously established by the receiving section after the printing of the received image data is finished.

Abstract:
A device for capturing rendered text is described. The device incorporates one or more visual sensors that receive visual information as a part of capturing rendered text. The visual sensors are collectively capable of capturing both text that is permanently printed on a page, and text that is displayed transitorily on a dynamic device. The device further incorporates a visual information disposition subsystem for disposing of visual information received by the visual sensors. The device further incorporates a package that bears the visual sensors and the visual information disposition subsystem, and is suitable to be held in a human hand.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a first wireless communication unit that receives data from a mobile phone, and a reader-writer that transmits an address of the first wireless communication unit to the mobile phone. The mobile phone includes a contact/non-contact IC card that receives the address, and a second wireless communication unit that transmits image data to the first wireless communication unit utilizing the address. When communication is made between the mobile phone and the image forming apparatus, the address of the first wireless communication unit is transmitted to the contact/non-contact IC card through the reader-writer, and the second wireless communication unit transmits data to the first wireless communication unit utilizing the address.
Abstract:
An electronic device using a removable recording medium detects the operational mode supported by the recording medium when the attached recording medium has a communication function, and displays a menu with an item corresponding to the operational mode. When the item corresponding to the operational mode is selected from the menu, the electronic device communicates with an external device using the communication protocol corresponding to the selected item. When a recording medium with a communication function is attached, the electronic device enables commanding wireless communication with a target device with a simple operation and without knowing what communication protocol is used.
