Embodiments of the invention are directed to a device that physically imprints a paper resource distribution document for verification and authenticity purposes. In this way, the device links to a user network and associates with resource distributions available for the user. Upon authorization of the user into the device, the device may receive input from a user, including an amount for the paper resource distribution document. Upon receiving the information from the user, the device activates and prints a resource distribution document with at least a portion of the paper resource distribution document printed with dimpled or embossed characters. As such, the dimpled or embossed character recognition at distribution of the resource distribution document confirms the paper resource distribution document's authenticity.

A network controller includes a communication portion, a disconnection portion, a change portion, and a re-linking portion. The communication portion is capable of communicating with another network device via a network. The disconnection portion temporarily disconnects communication from the communication portion to the other network device when a sleep signal instructing a shift from a normal state to a sleep state is received. The change portion changes a speed of the disconnected communication from the communication portion to the other network device, to a communication speed lower than a communication speed in the normal state. The re-linking portion causes the communication portion to communicate with the other network device at the changed communication speed.

An electronic system comprising an image pickup unit 1, a computer 2, and communication terminals for connecting the unit and the computer, such as infrared communication ports 6, 10, a card slot 8, and serial communication terminals 5,9 wherein the necessary image data is allowed to be produced from the unit 1 and transmitted to the computer through the communication terminals. The computer communicates with the image pick up unit by examining the port of each communication means in order to recognize whether a connected unit is the image pickup unit or a foreign unit and to determine and store the communication speed for each communication port. The image data and memory space information is then automatically transmitted to the computer and displayed on a device connected to said computer.

Printing and scanning methods using a facsimile machine communicating with a computer over a bi-directional direct passive link connected between digital communication ports of the computer and facsimile machine Upon receipt of an instruction at the facsimile machine, the printing method includes receiving digital image data from the computer via the bi-directional direct passive link. The digital image data is processed substantially as it is received at the facsimile machine and printed onto media. Upon receipt of an instruction at the facsimile machine, the scanning method includes scanning content from media provided within the facsimile machine to create digital image data digital image data representative of the content, and providing the digital image data substantially as it is created to the computer via the bi-directional direct passive link. The instructions and digital image data are transmitted in a standard facsimile machine format using standard facsimile machine protocols.

An external device is configured to be directly connected to an image forming device. The external device includes an image storage unit configured to store therein image data. The external device further includes a setting unit configured to issue a plurality of output commands of the image data to an image forming device based on a total number of images to be output by the image forming device and a specified mode indicative of a number of images to be output onto one side of a medium. The external device further includes a communication unit configured to transmit the image data based on the plurality of output commands to the image forming device.
摘要:
An interface is provided for connecting a standard telephone line and/or a standard facsimile machine with a distributive communication network interface such as a personal computer, whereby facsimile signal present on the telephone line or at the facsimile machine may be transmitted via the Internet to a remote station without the use of long distance or international telephone signal carriers. The facsimile signal may be sent or received via the network using the network, without interfering with the capability to receive and send facsimile signals in the normal manner via a standard telephone line.

Circuitry for providing an output video signal from a portable device to an external display, the circuitry including a processor block with an image processor, and a video encoder block with a video encoder for providing the output video signal to the external display, the processor block and the video encoder block being connected to each other by a serial interface arranged to provide image date from the processor block to the video encoder, the serial interface having at least one data lane and at least one first clock lane, wherein the video encoder block includes a first input connected to the at least one data lane for receiving image data and a second input connected to the at least one first clock lane for receiving a first clock signal, and wherein at least one of the video encoder block and the processor block has a third input arranged to receive a control signal for controlling data flow over the serial interface.
摘要:
A digital electronic camera which can accept various types of input/output cards or memory cards. When an I/O card is inserted into and connected with the camera, a processor within the camera determines the type of I/O card which has been connected by reading a memory location within the card. A control program which is contained in the I/O card is transferred to a memory within the camera in order for the camera to perform I/O functions which correspond to the type of the inserted card. Different types of I/O cards which may be used include a modem card, a LAN card, a SCSI card, or an ISDN interface. Image signals and audio signals are transmitted between the camera and an external processor, information describing the status of the camera is transmitted from the camera to the external processor, and commands to control the camera are transmitted to the camera from the external processor.
摘要:
An electronic still camera which is able to substantially lessen the amount of trouble of inserting and drawing a PC card during photographing or when image data are transferred to a host computer such as a laptop computer, and which is able to increase the number of photographing. The electronic still camera has the PC card which is inserted into or drawn out from a camera body, which has the same shape as the PC card. The PC card or the camera body shaped like the PC card is inserted into a PC card slot of the host computer to transmit and receive the image data, etc. A camera casing including a taking lens, etc. is mounted in the camera body shaped like the PC card, and a sheet-like battery is provided in the camera body. The taking lens is capable of projecting from and retracting into the camera body.
