20080282333 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS UNIFYING MANAGEMENT FOR USE OF IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND USE OF WEB SERVICE - An MFP stores information of a web service for permitting use with respect to each user, and information for limiting a use of its function. When there is a web service allowed to be used by the logged in user, its list is displayed. When a linked function with the selected web service is not allowed to be used, a massage to the effect that is displayed and when the use of the function is limited, limited contents are displayed to confirm the use of the web service. | 11-13-2008 |
20090040537 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH DISPLAY DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, DISPLAY PROGRAM, SCREEN GENERATING METHOD, AND SCREEN GENERATING PROGRAM - The MFP includes an EEPROM storing display screens, and a display control portion to read a display screen for display on a display portion. When a first area in the display screen includes a variable display item for which an arbitrary number of data pieces are displayed, the display control portion acquires the number of data pieces to be displayed therefor, changes the size of a field for the variable display item based on the acquired number of data pieces, determines the size of a second area based on the size of the first area after the size change of the variable display item field and the size of the display area of the display portion, and modifies the read display screen to a display screen having the first area after the size change of the variable display item field and the second area of the determined size arranged therein. | 02-12-2009 |
20090265625 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF PREVIEW DISPLAY, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - A display controller displays a page selection menu generated by a page-selection-menu generator for selecting pages having a specific attribute based on contents of setting relating to printing in common. As one example, when both-side print setting is made, as a specific attribute based on the contents of the setting relating to the printing, an odd pages and even pages are displayed in a selectable manner among pages included in a preview image | 10-22-2009 |
20090290182 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS WITH PREVIEW DISPLAY FUNCTION, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - On an operation panel, a preview image based on first preview image data generated by a first preview image generator is displayed (first stage), and then, a preview image based on second preview image data generated by a second preview image generator is displayed (second stage). An image reducing unit reduces input image data into an image size appropriate for the preview image to generate third preview image data. When image synthesis processing is set as user setting, an image processing unit changes, in accordance with the user setting, a display aspect of at least a portion of an area on the third preview image data corresponding to an area on the input image data in which another image data (a fixed pattern or the like) is to be synthesized. | 11-26-2009 |
20090296133 | NETWORK SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE DATA STORING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM RECORDING IMAGE DATA TRANSMITTING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes a display, an obtaining unit obtaining second data containing information for identifying the link information having no image data in a corresponding storage position among the plural pieces of link information contained in the first data, a display control unit making the display selectively display first link information having image data in a corresponding storage position and second link information having no image data in the corresponding storage position in different formats based on the second data, and a transmission unit transmitting image data generated by a scanning unit to the corresponding storage position. | 12-03-2009 |
20090310164 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, PRINTING METHOD, PUBLICIZED INFORMATION AGGREGATING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - An image forming apparatus is provided with a browsing setting table storage portion for storing a keyword specified by a user, an update presence/absence determination portion for retrieving, from information publicized through a server, publicized information that includes updated or newly added contents and that also includes the keyword stored in the browsing setting table storage portion, and a printing control portion for controlling a printing unit to print the publicized information thus retrieved. | 12-17-2009 |
20090310180 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE WHICH PERFORMS SETTING OF DEVICE BASED ON INFORMATION ACQUIRED - When a user uses an image processing device, the image processing device accesses a private PC of the user connected to a network to request acquisition of environmental information. A printer driver in the private PC collects various settings (including desktop theme, application settings, and device driver settings) from within the private PC. The settings are transmitted to the image processing device. The image processing device, based on the acquired setting information, changes the panel display, application settings, and others. This simplifies setting of the image processing device. | 12-17-2009 |
20100053658 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, MAINTENANCE SYSTEM, AND JOB CONTROL METHOD - To reduce downtime due to maintenance of an image processing apparatus as much as possible. | 03-04-2010 |
20100302586 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus includes: a communicator that is capable of communicating with a support terminal for operation support about the image forming apparatus; a controller that records video data consisting of data exchanged with the support terminal in a memory and further records voice data consisting of a conversation between a user who operates the image forming apparatus and the support staff, also in the memory, with a connection to the video data; and a player that plays the video and voice data recorded therein, according to an instruction given by the user or another user. | 12-02-2010 |
20120240040 | DOCUMENT DISPLAY SYSTEM, DOCUMENT DISPLAY DEVICE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A document display system is provided which includes a first document display device, and a second document display device. The first document display device includes a display processing portion configured to display an electronic document, a settings update portion configured to update display settings information indicating latest display settings in response to operation for modifying settings by a user during a period in which the electronic document is displayed, and a document transmission portion configured to send out the electronic document and the display settings information. The second document display device includes a document obtaining portion configured to obtain the electronic document and the display settings information sent out from the first document display device, and a display setting portion configured to incorporate settings for display settings indicated in the display settings information into display settings to be applied at a start of display of the electronic document. | 09-20-2012 |
20130067541 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, ACCESS CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An image processing device, comprises: a display part on which various types of information are displayed; a storage part for storing therein a variety of data; a first browser for accessing an external server and acquiring a web page from the external server, thereby causing the display part to display the acquired web page; a second browser for accessing the external server and acquiring the web page from the external server, thereby causing the display part to display the acquired web page, and that is permitted to access a predetermined storage region in the storage part; a browser boot part for starting up any one of the first and second browsers; and a controller for permitting an access request for the predetermined storage region in response to receipt of the access request from the running browser only when the browser running by the browser boot part is the second browser. | 03-14-2013 |
