Abstract:
Synchronization techniques with state transformation are described. The synchronization techniques may include storing a data object and metadata associated with the data object at a computing device. The data object can be stored in a first representative state at the computing device. The techniques may further involve receiving user input to synchronize the data object into a second representative state at a remote computing device, automatically transforming the data object from the first representative state into the second representative state, and synchronizing the data object to a remote data object stored at the remote computing device. The remote data object can be stored in the second representative state at the remote computing device.
Abstract:
A device comprising: an input for receiving images captured by a camera, of an environment illuminated by light from a light source; an image processing module; and a verification module. The image processing module is configured to process one or more of the images to decode a timestamp modulated into the light, and to output an indication of the decoded timestamp. The verification module is arranged to receive the indication of the decoded timestamp output by the image processing module, and based thereon to perform an at least partially automated verification of a time at which the one or more images were captured.
Abstract:
A cell phone is disclosed for acquiring information to be transmitted to a receiving facility and for transmitting such thereto. A capture device captures information from an external source. A processor is provided for associating with the captured information a representation of the date and time of the capture of the information, such that the representation of the date and time information in association with the captured information forms augmented captured information. The processor also places the augmented captured information in association with subscriber information in a transmission of the augmented captured information to a receiving facility requiring such subscriber information. A transmitter transmits the transmission including the augmented captured information and the subscriber information to the receiving facility. An encryptor encrypts the augmented captured information with a symmetrical encryption algorithm to provide encrypted augmented captured information in the transmission with the subscriber information.
Abstract:
An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.
Abstract:
A system in an embodiment includes an image forming apparatus, an erasing apparatus, a first apparatus, and a display unit. The image forming apparatus forms an image on a sheet using a decolorable color material. The erasing apparatus decolorizes an image. The first apparatus computes, from a reduction in the number of sheets achieved by a setting for image formation in the image forming apparatus, the amount of a reduction in environmental burdens achieved by use of the image forming apparatus and computes, from the number of sheets erased by the erasing apparatus, the amount of a reduction in environmental burdens achieved by use of the erasing apparatus. The display unit simultaneously displays the amount of the reduction in environmental burdens achieved by the image forming apparatus and the amount of the reduction in environmental burdens achieved by the erasing apparatus.
Abstract:
A method for inferring user activity statistics includes receiving job logs of a device infrastructure. Each job log including job information for a job performed for one of a set of users by one of a plurality of shared devices. A job descriptor is generated for each job based on the job log. The job is assigned to one of a set of defined job types based on the job descriptor. An activity matrix is composed where activity of each user for each of a plurality of time periods is represented as a fixed-length vector representing at least some of the job types. Each index of the vector is derived from a count of one job type for the user in that time period. The activity matrix is decomposed into first and second factor matrices to minimize an overall reconstruction error. User activity statistics are output based on the decomposition.

Abstract:
A transmission job for transmitting image data is executed. A report indicating a result of transmission of the image data is output. A first instruction regarding output of the report is accepted as a common setting for a plurality of transmission jobs. A second instruction regarding output of the report is accepted as an individual setting for a specific transmission job. Control is performed so as to output the report if the second instruction indicates that the report is to be output, even if the first instruction does not indicate that the report is to be output.
Abstract:
A signature device including a storage unit configured to store moving image data, and a processor configured to extract original metadata from moving image data for the image data of each of a plurality of images forming the moving image data, the original metadata including location data of the image data and identification data of the moving image data, to encode the image data of each of the images into still image data in accordance with an image format, to write the still image data into a first area, to write the original metadata extracted by the extractor into a second area, the first area and the second area being included in a storage area of a still image data file in which the still image data is filed, and to generate summary data for the still image data file.
Abstract:
The information processing device may determine a file type of a send file which is a file to be sent to the storage device and to be stored in the storage device. The information processing device may acquire a plurality of stored tag information from the storage device. The stored tag information may be tag information associated with a stored file which is a file stored in the storage device. The information processing device may cause a display unit to display one or more stored tag information among the acquired plurality of stored tag information. The information processing device may store, in association with the send file, at least one selected tag information into the storage device. The information processing device may cause the display unit to display a first group of stored tag information in preference to a second group of stored tag information.
