Abstract: A box data management apparatus extracts box data from a plurality of devices, connected to a network, to enable display of a list of the box data. An operational parameter collection part in the box data management apparatus collects operational parameters as information for processing the box data in the devices. A box data processing part in the box data management apparatus extracts and displays a device and an operational parameter which are capable of processing each of the box data based upon the operational parameters. Therefore, after display of the box data in a list without division by the devices, operational parameters capable of processing selected box data are displayed, thereby enabling improvement in operability and convenience for the user.

Abstract: An image forming device is provided with a job execution control portion for executing a job, a personal box for storing a file that is obtained by executing a job or the like, and an image file transmission portion for transmitting the user's file stored in the personal box to another image processing device that the user uses mainly if the user who logged in to the image forming device is a guest user who uses the other image forming device mainly.

Abstract: An installation support method that supports an installation of an application, comprising: a searching step of searching installed applications for an application which is of the same type as a new application to be installed; and a setting step of obtaining configuration values of the application found by the search, and setting initial configuration values of the new application to be the obtained configuration values.

Abstract: When an MFP determines that text data is transmitted to a plurality of addresses as destinations set by a user, an address group including set addresses is searched from a one-touch key registration and the transmission history of the user (or a group such as a department or a section associated with the user). Thus, the addresses input earlier and the address groups including the addresses yet to be input are displayed as destination candidates. The user selects a desired address group from those displayed, and thus can designate the data transmission to a plurality of addresses constituting the particular address group.

Abstract: In user management for a device, when information on a user who wants to use a device is received, settings for the user to use the device based on the information are generated on the user. Then, the information on the user and the generated settings for the user are registered.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus, which transmits image data to a plurality of addresses via a network, includes a transmission device which transmits the image data to an address in the plurality of addresses, an address setting device which sets at least one of the plurality of addresses, a determining device which determines, with respect to each of the at least one of the plurality of addresses, whether or not to transmit the image data thereto on the basis of an attribute thereof, and a display device which displays a first address among the plurality of addresses to which the determining device determines to transmit the image data, and a second address among them to which the determining device determines not to transmit the image data on the same screen, in different manners from each other.

Abstract: A portable terminal user uses a portable terminal so as to select data to be printed among data in a server as well as an MFP from which the data is to be printed out. The server creates authentication data and transmits the authentication data to the selected MFP. The MFP displays the authentication data. The portable terminal acquires the authentication data through picture taking, and transmits the acquired data to the server. The server compares the created authentication data with the data transmitted from the portable terminal. If they match, print data corresponding to the authentication data is transmitted to the MFP, whereby the MFP performs printing. With such a configuration, an image output system attaining excellent usability for the user and improved security can be provided.

Abstract: Code data of a plurality of images are acquired from an external recording medium recording hierarchically encoded data of the plurality of images in the order of the unit of hierarchically encoding such as resolution. First, the code data is acquired only at a low level of the unit of hierarchical encoding from the external recording medium over the plurality of images, and the acquired code data are decoded.

Abstract: The invention provides an image processing system which can give different securities to data of respective receivers with a simple operation and, in this case, which can realize shortening of time for communication to a destination and suppression of use of memory resources. A plurality of regions preset in image data are related to destinations, code data constituting one of regions corresponding to the destinations or the other regions is replaced with code data which make pieces of information included in the regions invisible in the JPEG2000 file transmitted to the destinations, and the JPEG2000 file after the replacing process is transmitted to the destinations.

Abstract: When image data are sent through a network, bit streams of hierarchically encoded JPEG 2000 data of a plurality of pages of a document are formed by prioritizing resolution, and the bit streams of the plurality of pages are divided in a plurality of files based on the unit of hierarchical encoding such as resolution or layer level. Then, the plurality of files of all the pages are arranged into a plurality of combinations thereof based on resolution or layer level. Then, an electronic mail is written and sent to the same destination for each of the combinations by attaching all the files included therein.

Abstract: On JPEG2000 coding apparatus, the coding process is performed by discriminating an area defined by each object contained in image data and specifying type of the object, performing character recognition processing on the area discriminated as that containing a character to produce a text data and producing an XML data corresponding to said text data, adding an XML box that can store a specific data into a bit stream constructing said JPEG2000 file so as to be positioned in back of a predetermined level of wavelet decomposition and causing said XML box to store said XML data. On the other hand, on JPEG2000 decoding apparatus, the decoding process is performed by causing user to select whether to read an XML box added into a bit stream of JPEG2000 file in the middle of JPEG2000 decoding process, and processing the XML data stored in the XML box to acquire a text data.
