Abstract:
A data communication apparatus includes an analog communication unit for performing analog communication, an A/D converter for converting the analog signal from the analog communication unit into a digital voice signal, and an ISDN communication control unit for sending the digital voice signal from the A/D converter onto a digital communication line. Data used in an ISDN are voice data, image data, facsimile communication data, etc.
Abstract:
A data communication system includes a receiver, a transmitter, an NCU, a control circuit, and a display circuit. In the send or receive mode, the number of remaining sheets or the time for sending or receiving such sheets is calculated and displayed on the display circuit under the control of the control circuit.
Abstract:
In a data transmission system comprising, for example, a facsimile transmitter connected to a facsimile receiver through a public telephone network, failure or malfunction sensors are provided at the transmitter and receiver which generate failure signals having the same frequency as the telephone network busy signal upon detection of a malfunction. Both the transmitter and receiver reset at high speed to an initial ready-for-transmission status upon reception of a failure signal from either sensor and automatically disconnect from the telephone network. The failure sensor at the receiver preferably comprises means for generating a failure signal when the failure rate of parity or other digital checks exceeds a predetermined value.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.
Abstract:
Provided are an image reading apparatus, a compression-ratio determination method and a computer-readable, non-transitory medium that can determine a compression ratio such that the data amount after compression would be optimal. The image reading apparatus includes an image generator for generating an input image by reading a document, a document-type identification module for identifying a type of the document, and an image compressor for compressing the input image, wherein the image compressor determines a compression ratio for compressing the input image, based on the type of the document.
Abstract:
An image capture, conversion, compression, storage and transmission system provides a data signal representing the image in a format and protocol capable of being transmitted over any of a plurality of readily available transmission systems and received by readily available, standard equipment receiving stations. In its most comprehensive form, the system is capable of sending and receiving audio, documentary and visual image data to and from standard remote stations readily available throughout the world.
Abstract:
An image handling apparatus is disclosed, including an operation panel, hardware resources, a transferring part, and an image generation controlling part. The transferring part transfers image handle information input at the input screen to an external apparatus. The image generation controlling part receives and parses image generation information for at least one of the hardware resources to execute an image generation based on the image handle information, from the external apparatus in response to an instruction of the image generation, so that at least one of the hardware resources executes the image generation.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method related to data management. In addition, other method, system, and program product aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and/or text forming a part of the present application.
Abstract:
A printing system provided with a printer and a host computer which transfers image data to the printer includes a data transfer unit configured to transfer the image data as image data of a first data format in the case where a connection between the printer and the host computer is first connection means, and transfer the image data as image data of a second data format in the case where a connection between the printer and the host computer is second connection means, wherein the second connection means has less data communication amount per unit time than the first connection means, and when given image data is transferred, image data of the second data format, corresponding to the given image data, has less data amount than image data of the first data format, corresponding to the given image data.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus that acquires image data from an image supply apparatus, and that transfers the acquired image data to an application, including: a selection unit configured to select a transfer mode when transferring the image data to the application; a first transfer control unit configured to transfer the image data to the application according to a TWAIN standard; a second transfer control unit configured to transfer an image file created based on the image data while maintaining a compression format or a non-compression format, to the application; and a transfer control unit configured to control the transfer using at least one of the first transfer control unit and the second transfer control unit based on the transfer mode selected by the selection unit.
