  • Information processing system, data output system, image processing method, and recording medium
    Patent number: 11887391
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method, each of which associates a region subjected to image processing with identification information, receives, in response to a device accepting selection from a user, the identification information and image data from the device, and outputs a result of the image processing performed on the region subjected to image processing associated with the identification information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.
    Inventors: Ryohsuke Yoshihashi, Tomoya Amikura, Kazuaki Kidoguchi, Kohji Yamamoto, Kohji Kambara
  • Process executing system, information processing system, information processing method, and recording medium for detecting duplicate image data from a same output material
    Patent number: 11533403
    Abstract: A process executing system for receiving image data of an output material from an apparatus and processing the output material, the process executing system comprising a communicator and a duplicate detector. The communicator is configured to transmit, in response to a request from the apparatus, to the apparatus, output data of the output material including identification information of the output material, and is configured to receive image data generated by reading the output material by the apparatus, the output material being the output data printed by the apparatus. The duplicate detector is configured to detect a generation of the image data from a same output material as the output material, based on the identification information of the output material attached in the image data received by the communicator.

  • Two controller communication control apparatus with power-saving control and power-saving control method
    Patent number: 7555662
    Abstract: A communication control apparatus having a function for shifting a mode to a power-saving mode that suppresses the power consumption to the level thereof lower than that in a normal mode upon satisfying a given condition includes a normal-operation control mechanism and a power-saving control mechanism. The normal-operation control mechanism controls the operation in a normal mode. The power-saving control mechanism controls the operation at the minimum level thereof given as the operation in the power-saving mode with the power consumption lower than that in the normal mode. In this configuration, the power saving control mechanism is arranged independently of the normal-operation control mechanism.
