Patent number: 10154162Abstract: In a mobile terminal, a plurality of operating buttons associated with functions performable by an electronic apparatus are provided on an operation screen. A storage section previously stores correspondence information related to the functions performable by the electronic apparatus and indicating correspondence between a relative location between the mobile terminal and the electronic apparatus and a set of functions available depending on the relative location. A first control section allows a display section to display a setting screen for accepting a change in the correspondence information. Based on an operation accepted by an acceptance section on the setting screen, a second control section changes the correspondence information and allows a storage section to store the changed correspondence information.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Kazuhiro Kanamaru

Patent number: 9942444Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a scanning section, a storage section, an image forming section, and a control section. The scanning section scans an image formed on a first side of the recording medium to obtain scanned image data. The storage section stores therein specific information data indicating a specific image or a specific character string. The control section controls the scanning section and the image forming section. The image forming section forms an image based on input image data on a second side of the recording medium. The control section determines whether or not the input image data includes the specific information data and the scanned image data includes the specific information data and determines based on a result of the determination whether or not to control the image forming section to form a masking image on the first side of the recording medium.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Kazuhiro Kanamaru

Patent number: 9667832Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a specific local gradation pattern detecting unit detects a specific local gradation pattern in a density distribution of a pixel array in a secondary scanning direction at each one of plural sampling positions along a primary scanning direction in a document image. A crease detecting unit detects a crease on the basis of positions in the primary scanning direction and positions in the secondary scanning direction of plural specific local gradation patterns detected for the plural sampling positions along the primary scanning direction. A crease removing unit removes the detected crease. The specific local gradation pattern has a density distribution that monotonically increases from a background density to a local peak density and monotonically decreases from the local peak density to the background density in the secondary scanning direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Kyocera Document Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Kazuhiro Kanamaru
