| 20080225335 | Data communication system, image processing apparatus, program and data communication method - A data communication system, an image processing apparatus, a program and a data communication method which permit a user to command a reply multicast transmission in reply to a multicast transmission with easy operations. In executing a multicast transmission of first image data, the image processing apparatus sends a job ID together with the first image data to a computer which is one of the receivers of the multicast transmission. Concurrently, the image processing apparatus stores the job ID and the receivers of the multicast transmission in relative to each other as history information. When the computer replies to the multicast transmission, the computer sends a reply e-mail including second image data and the job ID to the image processing apparatus. Then, the image processing apparatus extracts the job ID from the reply e-mail and searches the history information for receivers of the multicast transmission identified by the job ID. Thereafter, in accordance with the searched receivers, the image processing apparatus designates receivers of a reply multicast transmission and sends the second image data to the designated receivers. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090135446 | DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TRANSMITTING DATA TO PRESTORED DESTINATION ADDRESS, ADDRESS MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, DATA COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, ADDRESS MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND ADDRESS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - In order to facilitate updating of information on a destination of data, a data communication system includes a server and an MFP capable of communicating with each other. The MFP transmits to the server an update requesting signal including a source address of an e-mail received from another apparatus and related information on the source, transmits an address request to the server and receives user address data from the server, and transmits data to at least one destination address included in the received user address data. The server stores the user address data having destination addresses and related information on the destinations associated with each other, and in receipt of the update requesting signal from the MFP, rewrites the related information associated with the source address included in the update requesting signal by the user address data with the related information included in the update requesting signal. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090187665 | DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUITED FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA AMONG A PLURALITY OF DATA COMMUNICATION APPARATUSES CONNECTED TO A NETWORK, DATA TRANSMISSION APPARATUS CONSTITUTING SUCH SYSTEM, AND TRANSMISSION DESTINATION UPDATE METHOD AND TRANSMISSION DESTINATION UPDATE PROGRAM EXECUTED BY SUCH DATA TRANSMISSION APPARATUS - In order to allow the communication method for receiving data to be set at the side receiving the data, among a plurality of data communication apparatuses, a data transmission apparatus includes a destination designation portion for accepting designation of user identification information, a data accepting portion for accepting data, a data transmission portion for transmitting the data based on a communication method and destination information stored in association with the user identification information, a comparing portion for comparing the communication method stored in association with user identification information included in reply data with a communication method by which the reply data was received when the reply data for the transmitted data is received, and an update portion for updating the communication method and the destination information stored in association with the user identification information included in the reply data with the communication method by which the reply data was received and with the destination information included in the reply data based on the result of a comparison. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090195546 | IMAGE DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS, IMAGE DISTRIBUTION METHOD, AND IMAGE DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM - In order to prevent a duplicate of a still image from being generated, an MFP includes an image obtaining portion to obtain one or more still images, a moving image generating portion to generate a moving image in which the obtained still images are displayed sequentially, and a distribution portion to perform real-time streaming distribution of the moving image in response to a request from a PC connected to a network. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090289944 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE OUTPUTTING METHOD, AND IMAGE OUTPUTTING PROGRAM EMBODIED ON COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - In order to enable a still image to be checked while preventing leakage of confidential information contained in the still image, an MFP includes: an image acquiring portion to acquire a still image; an encoding portion to generate encoded data by encoding the acquired still image using an encoding key stored in advance; a decoding portion to decode the encoded data using the encoding key or a decoding key corresponding to the encoding key; and a transmitting portion to externally output the decoded still image in an electronically non-recordable form. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100138906 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE SUITABLE FOR SETTING IP ADDRESS OF SERVER CONNECTED TO NETWORK, NETWORK PARAMETER SETTING METHOD AND NETWORK PARAMETER SETTTING PROGRAM PRODUCT - In order to easily set IP addresses required for communicating with apparatuses connected to a network, an MFP includes a port scan unit for acquiring, by port scanning, an IP address of a server having a predetermined port open from one of the servers connected to the network, and a network environment storage part for storing a set of acquired IP address and a port number of the predetermined port. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100149591 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING IMAGE DATA, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A method for transmitting a plurality of pieces of image data is provided. The method includes causing an image forming apparatus ( | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110069347 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING IMAGE DATA, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDUIM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes a display state data obtaining portion obtaining display state data indicating a state of a displayed image that is an image electrically displayed on electronic paper, a display termination control portion controlling the electronic paper to finish displaying the displayed image, a write image data obtaining portion that obtains write image data that is image data of a write image corresponding to an image written on the electronic paper by reading the image written on the electronic paper after finishing the display, and a storage control portion that controls a storage portion to store, therein, displayed image data that is image data of the displayed image, the display state data obtained by the display state data obtaining portion, and the write image data obtained by the write image data obtaining portion, the displayed image data, the display state data, and the write image data being associated with one another. | 03-24-2011 |
