Publication number: 20240134585Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a controller that allows a display device to display a settings screen for setting of a function by a user and executes a job based on a user setting made through the settings screen; and a backup device that backs up as backup data the user setting on a storage device each time the user setting is made. When execution of the job based on the user setting is completed, the controller deletes the user setting from the storage device. When, in newly displaying a settings screen on the display device for another job, the user setting for a function configurable on the settings screen is saved on the storage device, the controller determines the content of the user setting as a content of a setting for the job and allows the display device to display the settings screen showing the content of the setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Keanu GO, Eliot Emerson UY, Romel DIANON, JR., Roy Vincent MARANON, Peter James BULAT-AG, J'mark RAMOS, Gerald GALANIDA, Hazel OZON, Fritzer ABAPO, Maria Johanna YBANEZ, Kenneth Kienzle ARRIETA, July DESCARTIN

Patent number: 11968342Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage device and a control device. The storage device stores a document. The control device includes a processor and functions, through the processor executing a control program, as a character recognizer and a tag generator. The character recognizer analyzes the document stored in the storage device and recognizes characters contained in the document. The tag generator analyzes, based on a recognition result of the character recognizer, a sequence of characters contained in the document and generates a tag expressing a feature of descriptive content of the document.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Keanu Go, Eliot Emerson Uy, Romel Dianon, Jr., Roy Vincent Maranon, Peter James Bulat-Ag, J'mark Ramos, Gerald Galanida, Hazel Ozon, Fritzer Abapo, Maria Johanna Ybanez, Kenneth Kienzle Arrieta, July Descartin
