20090083439 | DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND ADDRESS REGISTRATION METHOD - A data transmission device receives an instruction from a user via a user interface to search for address information registered in an LDAP server. An address management module of the data transmission device acquires the address information from the LDAP server, and a list of the address information is displayed to the user. When instructed by the user to register a piece of the address information, the address management module acquires an absolute path from the LDAP server, and requests an address management device to register the absolute path. The address management device registers the absolute path and notifies the address management module that the absolute path has been registered. | 03-26-2009 |
20090201539 | ADDRESS BOOK TRANSMISSION PROGRAM, ADDRESS BOOK TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND ADDRESS SERVER - The present invention provides a computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein an address book transmission program for causing a computer, which includes a storage that stores therein one or more pieces of address book data, to transmit the pieces of address book data to a data transmission apparatus, each of the pieces of address book data corresponding to one or more senders, the address book transmission program causing the computer to execute: a receiving step of receiving, from the data transmission apparatus, apparatus information indicating a state of the data transmission apparatus; a reading step of reading a piece of address book data that corresponds to a sender out of the pieces of address book data stored in the storage; a judging step of, based on the apparatus information received in the receiving step, specifying a use mode that shows how the data transmission apparatus uses address book data, and judging whether or not the piece of address book data read in the reading step is appropriate to the specified use mode; an editing step of, if a result of the judging step is negative, editing the read piece of address book data so as to be appropriate to the specified use mode; and a transmitting step of transmitting the edited piece of address book data to the data transmission apparatus. | 08-13-2009 |
20090303503 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS PERFORMING IMAGE FORMATION SUITABLE FOR ADDING INFORMATION IN HANDWRITING OR THE LIKE - When a printing mode is designated by user operation, an MFP embeds information specifying a storage location in designated stored image data and prints the resultant image data. When a user adds information in handwriting or the like to the above-described printing material, and the printing material after the information is added is scanned, the MFP specifies the storage location from the image data, which is scanned data, and replaces the image data in the above-described storage location by the scanned image data and registers the resultant image data. At the time of the above-described printing, even if the printing condition is set for the image data, the designation of the above-described printing mode allows the printing condition suitable for scanning the printing material to be set. | 12-10-2009 |
20090307342 | JOB EXECUTION SYSTEM, JOB EXECUTION APPARATUS, COUNTER DATA ADMINISTRATION METHOD THEREOF AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A job execution system comprises a job execution apparatus and a server apparatus interconnected via a network. The server apparatus stores in itself, counter data defining the range of using the job execution apparatus, which is allowed for a user who logs in the job execution apparatus by authentication. The job execution apparatus obtains entirely or partially the counter data of the login user from the server apparatus; returns the counter data that is reduced by job execution to the server apparatus when the user logs out thereof; judges according to conditions set on the job execution apparatus itself, whether or not the counter data returning operation should be suspended; and suspends the counter data returning operation if judges that it should be suspended. | 12-10-2009 |

20100214604 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, OPERATION METHOD THEREOF, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing system in which a portable terminal and an image processing apparatus are capable of communicating with each other contactlessly, includes: the portable terminal apparatus including: a display; and a transmitter that transmits display information indicating what is currently displayed on the display, to the image processing apparatus over contactless communication, and the image processing apparatus including: a receiver that receives the display information from the portable terminal over contactless communication; a memory that records in advance, display information samples and specified operations for the image processing apparatus, with their connections; and a controller that determines an appropriate operation based on the display information received by the receiver, the display information samples recorded in the memory and the specified operations also recorded in the memory, and makes the image processing apparatus perform that determined operation. | 08-26-2010 |
20100231950 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - An image processing apparatus is connected via a network to a terminal device having a recording medium loaded therein, receives a remote login from the terminal device, and executes an image processing job. When an operator who has logged in to the image processing apparatus is the same person as a user who is remotely logged in to the image processing apparatus from the terminal device, the image processing apparatus performs one of operations A and B after the image processing apparatus is granted access permission by the terminal device with use of a network address of the terminal device, which is acquired upon the remote login, the operation A being to acquire an image file stored in the recording medium, the operation B being to cause an image file stored in the apparatus to be stored in the recording medium. | 09-16-2010 |
20110054908 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing system includes an information processing apparatus and an image processing apparatus connected to each other via a network. The information processing apparatus has an application installed thereon to give a new function to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus transmits to the information processing apparatus, voice data obtained by a microphone of the image processing apparatus and data set via an operation screen customized according to the application. The information processing apparatus determines answer information indicating an action to be taken by the image processing apparatus, based on the received voice data, a dictionary owned by the application and the data set via the operation screen, and then transmits the determined answer information to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus takes an action according to the answer information received therefrom. | 03-03-2011 |
20110149350 | DOCUMENT PROCESSING APPARATUS - A document processing apparatus comprises an image reader for scanning an original manuscript which is not updated to generate first image data on the original manuscript and for scanning an updated manuscript to generate second image data on the updated manuscript, a text information extraction part for extracting first text information from the first image data and extracting second text information from the second image data, an updated portion detector for detecting an updated portion of the updated manuscript on the basis of the first text information and the second text information, an electronic document generator for generating an electronic document of the updated manuscript on the basis of the second image data, and a storage controller for generating display data of the updated portion on the basis of a detection result on the updated portion and storing the display data into the electronic document. | 06-23-2011 |
20120011585 | AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM FOR INSTRUCTION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND AUTHENTICATION CONTROL PROGRAM - An authentication system for an instruction processing apparatus includes first and second authentication portions each for performing user authentication at the time of using the instruction processing apparatus, and a controller which makes the first authentication portion execute the user authentication and switches from the first authentication portion to the second authentication portion when the user authentication by the first authentication portion cannot be established. | 01-12-2012 |
