20120249585INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD THEREOF, AND DISPLAY DEVICE - When an indicating situation recognizer recognizes an indicating situation on a display surface of a display unit indicated by a finger, a drawing processor superimposes a drawn image corresponding to the indicating situation onto a map displayed on the display surface. When recognizing an image masking request signal indicating that the map is hidden, an image masking processor provides a display state where the map is hidden and only the drawn image is displayed. When recognizing the indicating situation by the indicating situation recognizer while the map is masked, an image exposure processor performs an image exposure process to display the hidden map in an area corresponding to the indicating situation. Accordingly, it can be prevented that the meaning of the drawn image becomes difficult to grasp because an area irrelevant to the drawn image is displayed on the displayed map M. The meaning and the tendency of the drawn image is easily checkable on the displayed map.10-04-2012

20080212989Control method of driving toner containers and image forming apparatus - The purpose is to provide a control method of driving toner containers for use in an apparatus including a plurality of toner containers each filled with toner and detachably mounted thereinto from a toner container covering structure; and a toner supply device for supplying toner to a developing unit while rotating the plurality of toner container. This method includes the step of detecting a first toner container whose toner has run out, among the plurality of toner containers. When the first toner container has been detected, this method makes a control including the steps of: opening the toner container covering structure; stopping the rotational motion of the first toner container; and continuing the rotational motion of a second toner container or containers other than the first toner container.09-04-2008
20080258380SHEET FEEDER - A sheet feeder has a feed passage and includes feed roller pairs, sensors, and a controller. The feed roller pairs are arranged along the feed passage and feed sheets of paper in a feed direction along the passage by nipping the sheets. Each of the sensors is fitted at or near one of the feed roller pairs and senses a specified point on each of the sheets when the sheet is nipped by at least the associated roller pair. The controller includes a memory for storing reference feed timings as proper feed timings at each of which the specified points on the sheets should pass one of the sensors. The controller finds the real feed timing when each of the sensors senses the specified point on the sheet nipped by at least the associated roller pair. When each of the sensors senses the specified point on the sheet nipped by at least the associated roller pair, the controller finds the time difference between the associated reference feed timing and the associated real feed timing and controls, according to the found time difference, the feed speed at which the feed roller pair or pairs nipping the sheet feed it.10-23-2008
