Abstract:
A digital photo processing apparatus with an input device (1) for receiving digitized image data, an image processor (14) for processing the image data to generate printing data, a digital printer (P) for making photo prints from the printing data, and a data recorder (9) for recording the printing data used by the digital printer on a removable recording medium. The data recorder (9) includes a resolution converter (91) for automatically converting the printing data to a proper resolution corresponding to the resolution of the digital printer (P). The resolution converter (91) is operable when the printing data has a volume exceeding an available capacity of the removable recording medium detected by a capacity checker (92).
Abstract:
This invention provides a first communication apparatus, which makes a facsimile communication via a packet communication network and can describe different contents image header information each including a date, time, source information, destination information, and the like in image data having a predetermined number of pixels upon sending the image data to a plurality of destinations, and a communication method. This invention also provides a second communication apparatus which makes a facsimile communication via a packet communication network and has a first mode in which image header information such as a date, time, source information, destination information, and the like can be described in image data having a predetermined number of pixels and can send the image data, and a second mode in which image data having one of various resolutions and an indefinite number of pixels can be sent.
Abstract:
In a data converting apparatus, a data converting part converts a set of input data into a set of image data that can be processed by an image forming apparatus forming an image on a medium in accordance with the set of image data and a superimposing part superimposes at least two sets of image data converted from at least two different sets of input data so as to generate a single set of superimposed image data. By sending the single set of superimposed image data to the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus can form an image on the medium based on the single set of superimposed image data.
Abstract:
A method for serving an image from a server to a client, e.g., a computer having a browser or other graphics viewing engine. The user of the client first specifies a set of one or more bitmap characteristics for an image transfer, with at least one of the bitmap characteristics including a number of bits per pixel. Preferably, this specification is accomplished using an applet or other piece of code that is downloaded to the client from the server. Later, when the server receives a client request that includes data identifying a specified bitmap characteristic, a server processing routine (e.g., a servlet) generates a version of the image that conforms to the specified bitmap characteristic. This version is then delivered back to the client in response to the original request. In this way, the user of the client machine can control the particular characteristics of the image files that are delivered to his or her machine.
Abstract:
In certain aspects, receiving at least one motivating event at least partially at a processing shared image device. At least one designated attribute is transmitted at least partially from the processing shared image device, wherein the at least one designated attribute can be effected at least partially in response to the receiving the at least one motivating event at least partially at the processing shared image device. An obtained shared image is obtained at the processing shared image device that is obtained in accordance with the at least one motivating event, and is obtained at least partially in response to the transmitting the at least one designated attribute. The obtained shared image is processed to derive an at least one processed shared image at least partially at the processing shared image device.
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:
A technique involving either: a) transmitting at least one portion of at least one image representation from, or b) receiving at least one portion of at least one image representation to, a first shared image device in a manner at least partially relying on a proximity of the first shared image device and an at least one other shared image device.
Abstract:
In an image forming device, a ground-tint detection unit detects a ground-tint pattern in an original image based on image data output from an image reader unit. An image invalidation unit outputs a processed image data that makes the image data of the original image illegible, when the ground-tint pattern in the original image is detected. A resolution setting unit allows a resolution of the image reader unit to be higher than a minimum resolution needed for detection of a ground-tint pattern and stored in a memory unit.
Abstract:
A method of setting up an operating state for a plurality of predetermined devices is provided. The method is carried out on a terminal device to which the predetermined devices are connected. The method includes the steps of collecting, for a setting item relating to a function of each of the predetermined devices, setting options which the predetermined devices support, displaying the setting options collected for the setting item, allowing the user to select one of the setting options for the setting item, and identifying at least one device supporting the selected one of the setting options from among the predetermined devices.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of computing in resource-poor environments, such as mobile and/or wireless computing systems, and, more particularly, to a system and a method for adaptation-aware editing and/or progressive update propagation that enable authoring multimedia content and/or collaborative work on mobile and/or wireless computing systems and devices. A method for the exchange of a data document between a central data store and a client, the data document including one or more data elements, may be provided. The method may comprise transmitting the data document from the central data store to the client, wherein the transmitted data document received at the client includes data elements having a lower fidelity level as compared with the fidelity level of the data elements stored in the version of the data document at the data store, and modifying one or more data elements of the data document at the client. The method may also comprise identifying that the certain data elements of the data document have been modified by the client, and resolving content conflicts between the content of data elements modified by the client and the content of data elements at the central data store. The method may comprise transmitting the data document from the central data store to the client, wherein the transmitted data document received at the client includes data elements having a lower fidelity level as compared with the fidelity level of the data elements stored in the version of the data document at the data store. The method may also comprise transmitting additional data from the central data store to the client to increase the fidelity level of data elements of the data document received by the client, and resolving any content conflict between the content of data elements modified by the client and the content of the additional data transmitted from the central data stored to the client for the purpose of increasing the fidelity level of data elements of the data document received by the client.
