  • Patent number: 10708447
    Abstract: An image forming system includes a first mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus. The first mobile terminal transmits first image data by carrying out first wireless communication. The image forming apparatus receives the first image data by carrying out the first wireless communication and forms an image on the basis of the first image data. The first mobile terminal includes first storage, a first communicator, and a first setting section. The image forming apparatus includes second storage, a second communicator, a second setting section, and an image forming section. The first and second storages both hold first communication setting information and are respectively able to hold second and third communication setting information.

  • Patent number: 8274697
    Abstract: A multifunction system is provided that is capable of preventing unauthorized copying and the like of an image printed on a print material against the will of a user who has created the print material. The multifunction system includes: a printing apparatus having a printing unit printing on a prescribed recording medium a combined image formed by combining an image based on image information with an output-restriction image relating to restriction on output of the print material; and a reading apparatus having an image reading unit reading, responsive to a reading instruction, the combined image printed on the prescribed recording medium, an image analyzer unit analyzing the output-restriction image included in the combined image read out by the image reading unit, and an output determination unit determining, on the basis of an analyzed result generated by the image analyzer unit, as to whether the image based on the image information can be output.

  • Patent number: 6674438
    Abstract: An entertainment apparatus has a manual controller for entering control information, a main memory for loading therein a program and information for use by the program, a CPU for performing processing according to the program based on control information entered by the manual controller, a GTE and a GPU for generating at least image information based on the processing performed by the CPU, and a display monitor for displaying image information generated by the GTE and the GPU. A method of adding information for use by a program run on the entertainment apparatus has the step of adding additional information by loading the additional information via a memory card or a portable information terminal into the main memory of the entertainment apparatus. The method allows game characters, backgrounds, etc. that can be used by a game program, for example, to be increased in number or added to permit the user to enjoy a game that is rich in variety even if the game program is of existing nature.

  • Patent number: 6595860
    Abstract: A portable information terminal can effectively utilize game results and is arranged to be multifunctional. When result information is transmitted from a terminal to another terminal, the destination terminal adds the transmitted result information to result information which has already been held thereby. The items of result information are sorted in the order of scores, and score data are updated. Of the updated result information, the result information having the same identification number as the identification number of the terminal is displayed on a display unit of the terminal.
