| 20090174900 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING PROGRAM - The image forming device includes: an image data input unit that receives image data of a document; a set password acquisition unit that acquires information regarding a password from the image data received by an image data input unit; an image data input completion determination unit that determines whether or not all image data of the document is received by the image data input unit; an input password receiving unit that starts reception of input of the password, when the image data input completion determination unit determines that the image data input unit receives all image data of the document; a password verification unit that performs verification between an input password and a set password; and a job execution unit that cancels execution limit of a job based on a verification result to execute the job. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090174901 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND IMAGE FORMING PROGRAM - There is provided an image forming device that executes a job, being prescribed processing regarding image data, with execution of the job of this image data restricted by a password set in the image data. The image forming device includes: a password input unit that inputs the password necessary for releasing a restriction of executing the job; a password receiving unit that receives input password information, being information regarding the inputted password; a job execution instruction receiving unit that receives a job execution instruction after the password receiving unit receives the input password information; and a password verification unit that receives the job execution instruction and verifies the inputted password with a password set in the image data, wherein the job is executed by using the job image data based on a verification result of the password verification unit. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090175495 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR THE SAME - The image processing device includes: a detection unit that detects embedded additional data; an extraction unit that extracts additional information; a storage unit that stores the data of the document and the detailed information; a search unit that acquires a stored document and detailed information thereof; a generation unit that generates thumbnail image data of pages of a stored document; a post-processing unit that processes the thumbnail image data; and a display device that displays the detailed information of the stored document and the thumbnail image data, wherein the thumbnail image of the same page as the page of the printed document is displayed on the display device, in a second display method different from a first display method that is a method of displaying a thumbnail image expressing the page other than the page of the printed document. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090303528 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - Identification information pieces used for establishment of a connection between an image processing apparatus and a portable terminal are generated and also linked to the data process conditions registered in advance. The generated identification information pieces are displayed on a display in a style allowing users to understand their linkages to the process conditions. Among those displayed thereon, a specific identification information piece is entered on the portable terminal and transmitted to the image processing apparatus, according to user instruction. Receiving the identification information piece, if the image processing apparatus judges that the identification information piece is appropriate, a connection between the image processing apparatus and the portable terminal is established by using the identification information piece, and then data processing is performed on the data to be processed and other data, under the process condition linked to the identification information piece used for establishment of the connection. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090313154 | JOB EXECUTION APPARATUS, BILLING AND REFUNDING METHOD THEREOF AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A job execution apparatus having the function of billing and refunding by electronic money, determines before job execution, an amount of money required for job execution, and bills before job execution, the determined amount of money to a payment medium having the payment function, which is set to a billing apparatus. And the job execution apparatus can transfer a refund to the payment medium set to the billing apparatus if a refund needs to be transferred. The job execution apparatus also can transfer a refund by a method other than the method of refunding to the payment medium by using the billing apparatus. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090316198 | PUBLICIZED INFORMATION BROWSING SUPPORT SYSTEM, PUBLICIZED INFORMATION BROWSING SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A system receives a Web page and prints the same onto paper. Then, an image depicted on the paper is read. A written image that has been added to the paper after printing the Web page is obtained by comparing the Web page with the image. The latest version of the Web page is outputted together with the written image as required. A flag indicating whether or not a user has browsed the latest version is stored. Further, an update date/time of the Web page is received at every predetermined time. If the Web page has been outputted to the user, the flag of the user is updated to “already-read”. If the Web page is determined to have been updated based on the update date/time indicated in the received update date/time information, or if the written image has been obtained, all the flags are updated to “unread”. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090323112 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, PRINT DATA PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus judges whether or not a close-range wireless communication with a portable terminal is enabled during a period until a printer completes printing out print data. Based on a result drawn from the judgment and a print operation status of the image forming apparatus itself, which is indicated until completion of printing out the print data, the image forming apparatus deletes the print data from the memory or keeps the print data recorded in the memory. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100053660 | IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS AND PRINT CONTROL METHOD FOR THE SAME - The present invention provides an image formation apparatus that reconstructs and prints a document based on document data written in a markup language. The image formation apparatus arranges, by using browser software, text data included in the document data within a page of the document, and acquires image data from servers and arranges the image data within the page of the document. If the image formation apparatus fails to acquire one or more pieces of the image data, it judges whether each of the pieces of image data is important or not according to the attribute information of the image data. If judged negatively, the image formation apparatus executes printing of the document reconstructed based on the text data and/or the acquired pieces of image data. If judged affirmatively, the image formation apparatus cancels the printing of the reconstructed document. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110035454 | E-MAIL TRANSMISSION DEVICE, E-MAIL TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - The present invention is intended to reduce operation load of a responsible person corresponding to external address for transmission of an e-mail to the external address. In order to accomplish this, an e-mail transmission device transmits an e-mail based on an operation made by a user, comprising: a storage part for storing therein a destination address registration information in which a destination address of the e-mail, an address type information in which either of internal address or external address is registered as type of the destination address, and an address responsible for external address registered if the address type registered in the address type information is external address are associated with each other; and a transmission part for transmitting the e-mail to the destination address designated by the user from a plurality of destination addresses included in the destination address registration information. When the address type registered in the address type information associated with the designated destination address is external address, the transmission part reads the address responsible for external address associated with the designated destination address, creates the e-mail in which the address responsible for external address is set for a source address field and a return address field, and transmits the e-mail thereby created to the designated destination address. | 02-10-2011 |
