| 20090060392 | IMAGE READING DEVICE AND IMAGE READING-TRANSMITTING METHOD - The present technique provides an image reading device that allows an image transmission destination terminal to be designated simply from a console. The communication unit of the image reading device receives verification data from terminals via a network. The storage unit stores each of the received verification data in association with the terminal which had transmitted the verification data. The user inputs authentication data to the console after setting the document in place. When the authentication data is input to the console, a list of terminals associated with the verification data matching the authentication data is displayed. The user may select from the displayed list, via the console, the transmission destination terminal to which the image is to be transmitted. When the transmission destination terminal is selected by the user, the reading control unit reads out an image and transmits the image to the selected transmission destination terminal. The number of terminals displayed as candidates for the image transmission destination can be limited. The user is therefore able to easily designate the image transmission destination terminal. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20110231902 | Controlling Device - A controlling device may acquire setting information regarding a wireless setting for a wireless communication currently being set in a wireless communication device. The controlling device may determine, using the setting information, whether the wireless setting indicates a first type of authentication method in which an authentication is performed by an authentication server or a second type of authentication method in which an authentication is performed by a device with which the wireless communication performing unit performs a wireless communication directly. The controlling device may provide a first screen to a displaying unit in a first case where a determination is made that the wireless setting indicates the first type of authentication method. The controlling device may provide a second screen which is different from the first screen to the displaying unit in a second case where a determination is made that the wireless setting indicates the second type of authentication method. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110268027 | Wireless Communication Device - A wireless communication device may obtain, from each of one or more access points, access point information including network identification information corresponding to the access point. The wireless communication device may determine, in a case where specific network identification information corresponding to a specific access point is selected by a user from among one or more network identification information, whether specific access point information obtained from the specific access point includes support information indicating that the specific access point is supporting an automatic wireless setting mode. The wireless communication device may perform a wireless setting in accordance with the automatic wireless setting mode in a first case where a determination is made that the specific access point information includes the support information. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20110181580 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRIVING BISTABLE NEMATIC DOT MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY - A driving device includes a bistable liquid crystal display panel having a common line and a segment line, a common driving section for driving the common line, a segment driving section for driving the segment line, a power source circuit for generating a driving potential, and a control section for controlling the common driving section, the segment driving section, and the power source circuit. In a case of low temperature, a mode for performing driving control with higher voltage efficiency to set a maximum voltage amplitude is selected. In a case of high temperature, a driving mode that does not use the maximum voltage amplitude is selected. Therefore, a driving means suitable for a bistable nematic dot matrix liquid crystal display is provided. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20120032934 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DRIVING A BISTABLE NEMATIC DOT-MATRIX LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL - Voltage consumption during flashing of a frame is suppressed. Under a state in which an image is written and held, when a waveform of low voltage at low frequency is applied to the whole surface of a bistable liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal molecules are inclined to some extent, if not to the state vertical to a substrate, and the frame displays gray close to white. After that, when the voltage application is stopped, the image displayed before the application appears because the orientation state of the bistable liquid crystal display panel is not broken. By utilizing this phenomenon, a state of applying the waveform of low voltage at low frequency and a non-application state are repeated at a given time interval, and hence the frame can be flashed with low power consumption. | 02-09-2012 |
