20090303543 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus and image processing system make it possible to easily and fast perform electronization processing of reading a large quantity of manuscripts with a plurality of image processing apparatus to generate the images read from the large quantity of manuscripts as a piece of electronic data. To accomplish this, the image processing system is equipped with multi function peripherals (MFP) | 12-10-2009 |
20100290088 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD PERFORMED BY IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - This invention allows a user to know whether printed materials to be discharged by executing a print job can be discharged, without waiting for the turn to execute the print job. Upon accepting a print job, an image forming apparatus registers the accepted print job in a print queue and discharges, to one of the lockable discharge units, sheets on which images are formed by executing the registered print job. Upon accepting the print job, the image forming apparatus determines, based on the discharge status of the discharge units after executing a preceding print job registered in the print job, whether sheets to be discharged by executing the print job can be discharged. If the sheets cannot be discharged, the image forming apparatus notifies the user of a message to this effect. | 11-18-2010 |
20120008770 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD - A data encryption device is connected between an HDD and an HDD controller that controls the HDD. The data encryption device encrypts data that is stored from the HDD controller to the HDD, and decrypts data that is read from the HDD. A CPU of the data encryption device receives a command issued from the HDD controller to the HDD, and determines whether the command is executable at the HDD. When it is determined that the command is executable, the command is issued to the HDD. On the other hand, when it is determined that the command is unexecutable, the CPU prohibits issuance of the command to the HDD. Furthermore, when a command issued to the HDD is a specific command, the CPU bypasses data transferred between the HDD controller and the HDD without encryption or decryption. | 01-12-2012 |
20120105893 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus according to the present invention, being capable of communicating with an operation panel provided with a display unit, obtains, from the operation panel, information indicating a display layout for data that is displayed on the display unit. The display layout is set by a direction of the operation panel. The image processing apparatus then generates image data in accordance with the display layout, based on the obtained information, and outputs the generated image data. | 05-03-2012 |
20120140284 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An image forming apparatus removably having an operation panel having a display unit, an imaging unit and a wireless communication unit communicable with the image forming apparatus. In a status where the operation panel is not mounted on the image forming apparatus, an image indicating an operation method is combined with a video image obtained by the imaging unit and displayed on the display unit, and the combined image is displayed. | 06-07-2012 |
20130057896 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A digital MFP includes a dual I/F storage unit including two different interfaces: an external interface (RFID) and an internal interface (bus). When the power of the digital MFP is turned ON, in steps S406 and S407, if a main controller of the digital MFP determines that license information has been written in the dual I/F storage unit from a portable terminal while the power of the digital MFP was OFF, then in step S5408, the main controller validates a function of the digital MFP corresponding to the license information, by using the license information. | 03-07-2013 |
20130148154 | PRINTING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus for being communicably connected to a server that manages messages complying with rules of a short sentence communication service from the image forming apparatus and responds by the messages to requests from an information processing terminal, comprises: an acquisition unit configured to acquire internal information of the apparatus itself; a generation unit configured to generate, in accordance with conditions set beforehand, distribution data including a message that complies with the rules of the short sentence communication service and concerns the information acquired by the acquisition unit, coordinate information about the apparatus itself, and position information for communicating with the apparatus itself via a predetermined network; and a distribution unit configured to distribute the distribution data generated by the generation unit to the server. | 06-13-2013 |
20140239731 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND PROGRAM - A digital multifunction peripheral including a contactless power feeding unit having a function of communicating with a terminal apparatus and a function of feeding the power in a contactless manner to the terminal apparatus is configured to detect a status of the digital multifunction peripheral, detect the presence or absence of a power receiving apparatus capable of communicating with the contactless power feeding unit, and, when such a power receiving apparatus is present, detect the status of the power receiving apparatus, and perform power-saving control based on the result of the detections. | 08-28-2014 |
20140285004 | POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, POWER TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A waiting time during which receiving of a power receiving request is accepted from a power transmission apparatus is appropriately managed, to shorten a time required until power transmission is completed. | 09-25-2014 |
