  • Patent number: 8319991
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to communicate image data with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via a network. The information processing apparatus includes a memory unit configured to store first image data, a receiving unit configured to establish a communication session with the external apparatus in response to a request from the external apparatus and receive second image data from the external apparatus, a determination unit configured to determine whether to transmit the first image data to the external apparatus, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the first image data to the external apparatus using the established communication session based on the result of the determination made by the determination unit.

  • Publication number: 20110153784
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first reception unit receiving condition setting information which specifies a permission condition for permitting access to a file server and is sent from the file server when the processing apparatus transitions from a first power supply mode to a second power supply mode in which power consumption is less than that in the first power supply mode, a second reception unit receiving a process request with respect to the file server from a client computer, a determination unit determining whether the process request received by the second reception unit satisfies the permission condition specified in the condition setting information, and a transfer control unit sending a response indicating a refusal of access to the client computer without transferring the process request received by the second reception unit to the file server when the determination unit has determined that the permission condition is not satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20100167891
    Abstract: An apparatus compares, when executing a job using sheets of a first size and sheets of a second size having a greater width in a sheet conveyance direction than the first size, the width in the conveyance direction of the sheets of the first size with the folding width of the sheets of the second size. The apparatus controls execution of a job based on a comparison result between the width in the conveyance direction of the sheets of the first size and the folding width of the sheets of the second size.

  • Publication number: 20080117454
    Abstract: A communication apparatus which is capable of easily knowing the status of image transmission/reception in IP fax communication while performing voice communication in parallel. The communication apparatus performs IP telephone communication and IP fax communication in parallel, with a partner communication apparatus via a network. When the IP fax communication is completed, a sound source-processing section of the communication apparatus notifies at least one of a handset of the communication apparatus and the partner communication apparatus of the completion of the image communication.

  • Patent number: 7266129
    Abstract: A communication line control system and a communication line control method have an architecture, in which if a plurality of calls that should be processed simultaneously occur in one communication terminal incorporating communication functions containing voice communications and data communications and accommodating a plurality of communication lines, a distributed control module utilizing the plurality of communication lines on this communication terminal processes only a specified call among the plurality of calls on the basis of condition data preset in a line control unit without being aware of the plurality of communication lines. With this architecture, it is feasible to enhance a general-purposed characteristic and a simplicity of creation of the software (distributed control module) for controlling the plurality of communication lines, reduce a load thereof and improve its usability.
