摘要:
A facsimile device downloads data from a web server if a URL of the web server is not listed in an access prohibited database. If it is determined that the downloaded data is of the type for which image formation is prohibited, then a printing function is set to OFF. If the printing function is ON, then a display unit displays an outline of the downloaded data, enabling a user to determine whether or not the downloaded data should be printing out. If the user input a print instruction, then the downloaded data is printed out. On the other hand, if the user input a cancel instruction, then the downloaded data is not printed out.
摘要:
A facsimile device includes an outer case accommodating a circuit controller and a communication module. The communication module has a router function and can be directly connected to a broadband-capable modem, such as an ADSL modem, by a cable. The communication module can perform bi-directional communications with a web server on the Internet via the broadband-capable modem. The communication module also has a web printing function for printing images of data received from a web server on a recording unit. Hence, by connecting a broadband-capable modem to the communication module, the facsimile device can print data from web servers onto paper to facilitate viewing.
摘要:
An image forming device transmits a transmission request data to a server on a network and receives content data from the server. The received content data is printed on a recording medium, and the transmission request data transmitted to the server is stored in a memory. When print error is detected before the received data was completely printed, the image forming device notifies a user of the print error. After the print error is resolved, the image forming device automatically retransmit the transmission request data to the server.

An image processing device is configured to provide a service relating to at least one of (1) the image data generated by the function of the image processing device and (2) image data representing the image to be formed, in response to a request from the image processing device. The image processing device may include a parameter designating unit, a service request unit, and a function implementation unit that is adapted to implement the function of the image processing device based on the service providing parameter designated by the parameter designating unit. The service providing device is provided with a service provision executing unit that is adapted to execute a process to provide the service to the image processing device after receiving the request from the service request unit provided to the image processing device.
摘要:
In response to a positional relationship (distance, or a combination of distance and angle) between an information output unit and a user who uses information displayed in the display unit, a control unit changes the amount of information to be displayed in the display unit based on an information level, the number of pieces of information, a scrolling speed or a cycle. In some aspects, the control unit controls the information output unit to increase the amount of information to be output when the user is close to the display unit.
摘要:
A system for providing a service from a service-providing device to a client device is provided. In the system, the service-providing device includes a database, a registering unit, a providing unit, a service end judging unit, and a service terminating unit. The client device includes a usage registration unit that transmits the registration request signal to the service-providing device if a user input requesting a usage registration for a service to be received is received through an operation unit of the client device, obtains from a user the setting information relating to the service to be received, and transmits the setting information obtained from the user to the service-providing device, a setting information storing unit that copies the setting information, which the usage registration unit transmits to the service-providing device, to save the setting information in a storage unit of the client device, a function executing unit that executes a predetermined function relating to the service provided from the service-providing device and caused by an operation of the usage registration unit, a detecting unit that detects a service terminated by the service-providing device, from among services for which the usage registration has been made through the usage registration unit, and a re-registration unit that reads out the setting information corresponding to the terminated service from the memory if the terminated service is detected by the detecting unit, and transmits the setting information along with the registration request signal to the service-providing device to make a usage registration for the terminated service.
摘要:
A service providing system is provided including a service providing device adapted to provide a service through a network and a device adapted to receive the service from the service providing device. The device includes a service request unit that requests the service providing device for a service, and a service implementation unit that implements a function of the device after receiving the service from the service providing device that is requested. The service providing device includes a service provision executing unit that provides the service to the device when the service providing device receives the request from the service request unit, and a function judging unit that judges whether the device is equipped with a function to receive the service provided by the service provision executing unit based on equipped function information that indicates functions for which the device is equipped.

A system for providing a service from a service-providing device to a client device is provided. The service-providing device includes a database, a registering unit, a providing unit, a service end judging unit, and a service terminating unit. The client device includes a usage registration unit, a setting information storing unit, a function executing unit, a detecting unit, and a re-registration unit. The re-registration unit reads out the setting information corresponding to the terminated service from the memory if the terminated service is detected by the detecting unit, and transmits the setting information along with the registration request signal to the service-providing device to make a usage registration for the terminated service. Devices, methods and computer-readable media having programs stored thereon are also provided for making a re-registration for a service which has been terminated by a service-providing device, without requiring a user to conduct an operation for re-registration.
摘要:
A contents providing system is provided with an information obtaining unit that obtains at least one of input information input to a user interface of a client device and output information output from the user interface, a content searching unit that searches for contents in accordance with the information obtained by the information obtaining unit, a content output control unit that outputs a content searched by the content searching unit to an output unit, the output unit providing the content to a user of the client device, and a content identifying unit that identifies one of the contents searched by the content searching unit, each of the contents having executed a predetermined process, the content identifying unit identifies the content that has executed the predetermined process latest. Further, the contents output control unit outputs the content identified by the content identifying unit prior to other contents searched by the content searching unit.
