20100302587 | IMAGE PRINTING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, PRINTER SELECTION APPARATUS, TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED THEREIN PRINTER DRIVER - A certain PC selects an MFP expected to complete a print job the earliest based on the number of print jobs being spooled in each MFP, and outputs the print job to the selected MFP. Despite this, there occurs a problem that it takes longer time to complete the print job than a user thought due to that other PC has output a print job to the selected MFP substantially simultaneously with the certain PC. In view of this problem, according to the present invention, a terminal information management unit included in each MFP manages the default setting number that is the number of PCs that each set the MFP as its default MFP for ordinary use. A PC selects an MFP to which a print job is to be output based on the default setting number collected from each MFP, and outputs the print job to the selected MFP. | 12-02-2010 |
20100309497 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An information processing device prints a link source webpage and a link target webpage so that (i) it is easy to grasp, from a printout of these webpages, that these webpages are associated with each other, and (ii) the printout can be easily organized. MFP | 12-09-2010 |
20120019554 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR DISPLAYING POP-UP WINDOW, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes a display device that displays a plurality of windows having hierarchy levels in such a manner that a low-level window overlaps a high-level window, each of the plurality of windows containing a first object to close the subject window and one or more second objects to select items; an extraction portion that extracts, from one or more second objects in the high-level window, a selection candidate object that is likely to be selected by a user after the low-level window is closed; and a control portion that controls, when the extraction portion extracts the selection candidate object, the display device in such a manner that the first object in the low-level window overlaps the selection candidate object, or the first object in the low-level window is disposed close to the selection candidate object. | 01-26-2012 |
20120069377 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS DISPLAYING KEY FOR SETTING ITS OWN FUNCTION - An image processing apparatus implements a plurality of functions and includes a display device. The plurality of functions include a function belonging to a first group and a function belonging to a second group. A selection accepting unit accepts selection of any of the first group and the second group. A first display control unit causes the display device to display on a display screen, a plurality of first keys corresponding to respective functions belonging to the first group, regardless of which of the first group and the second group has been selected. A second display control unit causes, when the second group is selected, the display device to display in a second region of the display screen other than a first region where the first keys are displayed, second keys corresponding to respective functions belonging to the second group. | 03-22-2012 |
20130127688 | DISPLAY SYSTEM PROVIDED WITH FIRST DISPLAY DEVICE AND SECOND DISPLAY DEVICE - A display system includes an image forming device and a mobile communication terminal. In the display system, the mobile communication terminal accepts a flick manipulation to move the screen, and transmits flick information on the accepted flick manipulation to the image forming device. The image forming device decides an area, which is a part of the screen of the mobile communication terminal and in which display is changed when the screen is moving, and sequentially transmits to the mobile communication terminal positional information on the decided area and screen data of the screen before the movement is completed since the movement is started, which is decided based on the flick information in the decided area. The mobile communication terminal displays the screen in the area of the transmitted positional information based on the transmitted screen data. | 05-23-2013 |
20130235414 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS COMMUNICABLE WITH REMOTE DISPLAY APPARATUS - An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) receives, from a remote terminal, information on a first operation to request the MFP to execute processing. The MFP transmits, to the remote terminal, information on a screen in accordance with the information on the first operation, and receives, from the remote terminal, a report that a screen in accordance with the transmitted information is displayed on the remote terminal. The MFP receives, from the remote terminal, information on a second operation to request the MFP to execute processing, after receipt of the information on the first operation and before receipt of the report, and decides whether to execute or cancel the processing in accordance with the information on the second operation, depending on the type of the information on the second operation. | 09-12-2013 |
20140078549 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS WITH DISPLAY - An MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) as an image forming apparatus displays a remote operation screen that is a screen for operating the MFP on an operation terminal and accepts a print setting and a print execution instruction from the operation terminal through the remote operation screen. The MFP prints the acquired image with the print setting accepted through the remote operation screen if a print execution instruction is accepted through a screen of an application different from an application that accepts a request for display of the remote operation screen. | 03-20-2014 |
20140289665 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING GESTURE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A device for determining a gesture includes a display portion for selectively displaying one of screens; a storage portion for storing, for each of the screens, a rule used for distinguishing between gestures; a detection portion for detecting a motion made by a user; and a determination portion for identifying, from among the gestures, a gesture represented by the motion detected by the detection portion based on the rule for a current screen, the current screen being one of the screens and being displayed at a time when the motion has been detected. | 09-25-2014 |
