| 20080200118 | Communication System and Communication Method - A communication system and a communication method for permitting a user of a cell-phone to receive data in a non-service area via an MFP. When the communication condition between a base station and a cell-phone becomes bad, the base station sends a map showing the current position of the cell-phone and the locations of nearby MFPs to the cell-phone. The user of the cell-phone selects one from the MFPs on the map and notifies the base station of the selected MFP. The base station sends an e-mail addressed to the cell-phone to the selected MFP, and the MFP stores the e-mail therein. The user of the cell-phone makes an access to the MFP by short-distance wireless communication to receive the e-mail. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090040544 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF PROCESSING DATA OF LATEST VERSION, DATA PROCESSING METHOD AND DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM EMBODIED ON COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - In order to give notice to process the latest data, MFP includes HDD to store data, a data obtaining portion to accept target data to be output, a related data extraction portion to extract related data that is related to the target data and is newer than the target data from the data stored in HDD, a difference extraction portion to extract a difference between the extracted related data and the target data, and an output portion to output the difference. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090213410 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A detector detects a first key information piece embedded on one side of one sheet or more than one respective sheets from which image data is read out by a reader, and a second key information piece embedded on the other side thereof or on another sheet. And a comparator | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090216536 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus comprises an image data input portion that inputs image data and a text data input portion that inputs text data. The text data inputted by the text data input portion is converted into voice data by a voice data converter, and this obtained voice data and the image data inputted by the image data input portion are connected to each other by a connector, and then a file including the voice data and the image data connected to each other is created. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090244662 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND IMAGE READING METHOD - The present invention aims to avoid problems such as not detecting line-shaped noises or erasing images on the sheet by erroneously detecting line-shaped noises. A copy machine | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090244663 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS AND IMAGE READING METHOD - The present invention aims to prevent a problem that an image on a document sheet is erased due to misdetection of a line-shaped noise. A copy machine | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090316166 | ORIGINAL READING DEVICE - An original reading device corrects line noise when performing original image reading by a sheet-through method, even if line noise appears due to a piece of debris simultaneously influencing all color sensors. Background plates ( | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100046021 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING DOCUMENT DATA FILE - In the case where an attribute of a general-purpose file to be processed is an attribute inhibiting printing, an MFP selects a transmission function, which is one of output functions of the MFP, as a function that can be performed (selected) in response to an output instruction, and displays a screen for transmission. In the case of an attribute permitting a document assembly function, the MFP determines that a bind function is a function that can be performed (selected), and displays a screen for the function. In the case of an attribute inhibiting the document assembly function, the MFP determines that a function of adding information to a file, which is one of the output functions of the MFP that does not implement the document assembly function, is a function that can be performed (selected), and displays a screen for the function. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100332464 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A search site on a network performs information search by a keyword. When a Web page is selected among those detected by the information search, the keyword, a text in the selected Web page and the Web page's address are interconnected and recorded as one search record in a recording device. And then, it is judged whether or not there exist in one or more then one document, any words that match any keywords included in the search records recorded in the recording device. If there exists a word that matches a keyword, the display data to display the document with just a part of the text as least and/or the Web page's address included in the same search record as the keyword, is created, and a job is executed using the display data. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110063215 | REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM AND REMOTE CONTROL METHOD - A remote control system includes a PC and a MFP capable of remotely controlling an external device. PC includes a browsing portion to receive an operation screen from the MFP, a display control portion to allow a projector to project the received operation screen onto a projection plane, and a position detection portion to detect a position pointed to by a user in the projected operation screen. The browsing portion transmits to the MFP a command which is included in the operation screen and is related to the detected position in the operation screen. The MFP includes an operation screen transmission portion to transmit to the PC the operation screen, including a command for specifying control, for accepting an operation, a command reception portion to receive a command transmitted from the PC, and a process control portion to control the external device or the device itself in accordance with the received command. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110154176 | ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT MANAGING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An electronic document managing apparatus includes a link information acquiring unit, an integration unit, and an addition unit. The link information acquiring unit acquires link information relating to link destinations inside each of a plurality of electronic documents. The integration unit integrates the respective pieces of link information relating to the plurality of electronic documents to generate integrated link information. The addition unit adds the integrated link information to the plurality of electronic documents, respectively. | 06-23-2011 |
