| 20080239377 | IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing method controls a computer and an image processing device connected to the computer to perform an image processing. The computer includes a plurality of drivers that controls the image processing device. The image processing method includes (a) controlling the image processing device by using one of the plurality of drivers, (b) storing, in a storing unit, error information indicating which one of the plurality of drivers is used when an error is occurred in the controlling step (a), (c) accessing to the error information stored in the storing step (b), (d) selecting a subject driver from the plurality of drivers based on the error information accessed in the accessing step (c), and (e) controlling the image processing device via the subject driver selected in the selecting step (d). | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090003562 | NETWORK TERMINAL AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A network terminal includes an operating system on which a plurality of user environments can run in parallel, a plurality of calling units corresponding to the plurality of user environments respectively, and a plurality of cooperative units corresponding to the plurality of user environments respectively. Priorities different from one another is assigned to the plurality of user environments respectively. Each calling unit is configured to convert a first telephone signal received from an interface and a second telephone signal received from an IP telephone terminal so that an IP telephone communication is performed between the interface device and the IP telephone terminal. Each cooperative unit is configured to communicate the interface with the corresponding calling unit in response to a calling request received from the IP telephone terminal. A cooperative unit corresponding to a user environment to which the highest priority among the plurality of user environments is assigned communicates the interface with the corresponding calling unit. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090059902 | IP TELEPHONE TERMINAL AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An IP telephone terminal and a method for controlling IP telephone terminal capable of performing IP telephone communication upon receiving information from a conversation application through a user interface provided with a microphone and a loud speaker when a conversation is to be performed with the microphone and the laud speaker. The IP telephone terminal is connected to an internet. The terminal has a mouse and a keyboard operable as an operation input device, and a microphone and a loud speaker operable as an audio input device. A first selecting unit selects the operation input device of an interface device, and a second selecting unit selects the audio input device of the interface device. A third selecting unit selects one of the interface devices. A first control part controls the first selecting unit so that the first selecting unit selects the operation input device of the interface device selected by the third selecting unit. A second control part controls the second selecting unit so that the second selecting unit selects the audio input device of the interface device selected by the third selecting unit. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100083016 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE THAT ENTERS ACTIVE MODE WHEN UPDATED FEED IS ACQUIRED - A communication device is communicable with a server that distributes a content item and a content summary. The communication device acquires the content summary from the server at fixed intervals. When an updated content summary is acquired while a display unit of the communication device is in a sleep mode, then the display unit enters an active mode. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100083126 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A communication apparatus comprises a data receiving unit, a display, a selection receiving unit and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire the content summary information via the data receiving unit and to control the display to display a plurality of titles included in the acquired content summary information with scrolling in a single line. The controller is further configured to accept a first selection and to determine a first selected title which is displayed when the first selection is inputted. The controller is still further configured to control the display to display a list of a plurality of titles of content summary information acquired from the external server. Moreover, the controller is configured to accept a second selection received via the selection receiving unit and determine a second selected title among the plurality of titles displayed in the list. The controller is further configured to acquire a content corresponding to the second selected title via the data receiving unit. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100281360 | DISPLAY DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING SETUP SCREEN WITH SCREEN NAVIGATION PATH - A display device includes a display unit, a storing unit, a navigation string generating unit, and a display control unit. The display unit includes a first region and a second region. The display unit displays, in the first region, one of a plurality of screen images managed hierarchically. The plurality of screen images includes a first screen image and a second screen image. The storing unit stores a plurality of character strings corresponding to the plurality of screen images. The navigation string generating unit includes a specifying unit and a generating unit. The specifying unit specifies a setting value selected for at least the second screen image that was navigated through to arrive at the first screen image currently displayed in the first region. The generating unit generates a navigation string including at least one of the character strings corresponding to the second screen image and a setting data representing the setting value. The display control unit controls the display unit to display the navigation string in the second region. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110075181 | Data processing device - To provide a technology enabling a terminal device to use various functions provided in a data processing device without the use of a device driver. A multifunction device executes a process for implementing a function indicated by instruction data when such instruction data is stored in a shared area of the RAM. Here, the shared area of the RAM in which the instruction data is stored can be recognized by a personal computer connected to the multifunction device as a storage area that can be accessed through the file system, which is a function provided as a standard feature of the operating system. Accordingly, operations of the multifunction device can be controlled from the personal computer end simply by storing instruction data in the shared area via the operating system, eliminating the need for a special device driver to control the operations of the multifunction device. | 03-31-2011 |
