Abstract:
A complex apparatus (image processing apparatus) requests the transmission of an identification number from a security box (data processing apparatus). The security box transmits the stored own identification number to the complex apparatus. When no response is received within a predetermined time after the request of transmission of the identification number, or alternatively when the identification number transmitted from the security box differs from the identification number of a security box stored in advance, the complex apparatus displays a warning screen indicating that the appropriate security box has been removed, on the displaying section of the operation panel, and then turns ON a notifying lamp.
Abstract:
This image display includes a communication portion for transmitting/receiving image data to/from a remote image display including a first display portion for displaying image data as a first display image. The image display further includes a second display portion for displaying image data as a second display image and a control portion so formed as to be capable of synchronizing the first display image and the second display image with each other.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus is connected to an external apparatus in a connection mode selected from a plurality of connection modes including a first connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with a predetermined operation on the communication apparatus and a second connection mode in which an external apparatus is connected in accordance with an operation whose operation amount is smaller than the predetermined operation. The communication apparatus has a plurality of operation modes to select at least one of contents saved in a recording medium. When connecting the external apparatus in the second connection mode, an operation mode in which the contents are selected based on the operation on the external apparatus is selected out of the plurality of operation modes.
Abstract:
In a communication apparatus including a close proximity wireless communication unit configured to perform communication when the communication apparatus and an external apparatus are brought into close proximity with each other within a predetermined range, selection of a communication process is performed. Information on a plurality of operating units and information on communication processes to be performed by the communication apparatus are stored in association with each other. Control is performed in such a manner that a communication process that is associated with one of the plurality of operating units that is being operated when communication with the external apparatus is established is performed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an information processing method comprising the steps of: storing measured position information in association with first time information representing times of day at which the measured position information is obtained; storing video information in association with second time information representing times of day at which the video information is obtained; and associating the measured position information with the video information in accordance with degrees of difference between the first time information and the second time information.
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 imaging apparatus and an imaging method supply an optimum amount of image data to another apparatus. When a PDA has a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps, a mobile phone determines that the maximum speed of communication with the PDA is low, reduces the amount of moving image data captured by a CCD of the mobile phone accordingly, and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA. The PDA therefore displays a low-quality moving image on its display unit. When the PDA has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, the CPU of the mobile phone leaves unchanged the amount of moving picture data captured by the CCD and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA. The PDA then displays a high-quality moving image on its display unit. The foregoing may be advantageously applied to digital cameras.
Abstract:
This invention has as its object to allow an authentication process that avoids unnecessary information from being stored in a digital camera irrespective of whether or not a digital camera connected to the printer has a direct print function. To this end, in this invention, in an early stage of connection between a digital camera DSC and PD printer, the PD printer side requests an object which contains a keyword as authentication information of those which are stored and held by the DSC (S29). As a result, after it is determined the returned information contains authentication information, the printer notifies the DSC of its own authentication information (S33).

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 deletes the address of the mobile terminal when the communication with the mobile terminal through the receiving section is finished.
