Abstract: Composed video data is transmitted from a communication unit to a recipient communication device. Management information in which a position of an image composed in the video and corresponding file data are associated is stored in a storage unit. The recipient communication device displays the received composed video on a display unit. When a user designates the image composed in the video from a designating unit, a data acquiring unit transmits a file acquiring request command including position information of the designated image in the video to the transmitter communication device. The transmitter communication device extracts the position information from the file acquiring request command, and extracts file data to be transmitted from the management information. The transmitter communication device transfers the file data to the recipient communication device through a communication connection not used for a video.

Abstract: A scanner device includes a function for generating image data by rotating an image scanned from an original document according to necessity. The scanner device includes a display processing unit and a confirmation accepting unit. The display processing unit displays a first image pattern indicating a set status of a scanned original document, and a second image pattern indicating a direction of image data when the original document under the set status in the first image pattern is scanned and rotated by a prescribed rotation condition. The confirmation accepting unit accepts a confirmation for executing an image data generation processing under a prescribed rotation condition.

Abstract: A relay device requests a status notification of another relay device to a server device. When the relay device is notified that the other relay device is under a logged-out status, the relay device stands by. When the relay device is notified that the other relay device has logged in, the relay device transmits a connection request to the server device. The server device relays the connection request to the other relay device. A response is transmitted from the other relay device to the server device, and further relayed to the relay device. Accordingly, a TCP connection is established between the relay device and the other relay device. A communication device connected to a different network can transmit and receive data to and from the relay device via the other relay device.

Abstract: Transportation commands are assigned to models, and executed in a transportation command generation process. Execution results are recorded in a log file. During execution, transportation results are transmitted, and stored in a database on a receiver side. The data of the database is processed into statistical data, and displayed as graphs on a monitor.

Abstract: When a preset time elapses from a previous certificate revocation list acquired date and time, it is determined whether or not a signature confirmation event is stored in a signature confirmation execution list. When the signature confirmation event is stored, contents of the signature confirmation execution list are classified for each certificate authority, and one certificate authority is selected. For the selected certificate authority, the preset time after the date and time when the latest signature confirmation was executed is decided as the certificate revocation list acquiring date and time. Then, the certificate revocation list acquiring date and time is decided for all necessary certificate authorities. When the decided certificate revocation list acquiring date and time is reached, access is made automatically to the certificate authority, and a certificate revocation list is acquired.

Abstract: When a preset activation time is reached, or when a digital MFP is activated manually, a determination is carried out as to whether or not a certificate revocation list is necessary to be acquired. Then, the digital MFP acquires and stores a certificate revocation list when necessary. The digital MFP determines whether or not a certificate of a signature confirmation execution list is included in the acquired certificate revocation list to determine whether or not an e-document of which a signature has been confirmed is invalid. When the e-document is invalid, the digital MFP creates text data indicating that a corresponding TSA and the e-document are invalid, and prints out the created text data. After deleting contents of the signature confirmation execution list, when the activated time is determined to be a preset activation time, the digital MFP is shut down.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a spinning device that detects early that fibers F have been accumulated in an air exhausting space 55 to prevent a defect (weak yarn) in a spun yarn. A spinning device in accordance with the present invention includes a pneumatic spinning nozzle 19, a whirling current generating chamber 25 in which fibers are twisted using a whirling air current generated by the pneumatic spinning nozzle, an air exhausting space 55 that is in communication with the whirling current generating chamber 25, a negative pressure source that sucks air from the air exhausting space 55, and a pressure sensor 63 that detects a pressure in the air exhausting space 55. When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 63 during a spinning operation performed by the pneumatic spinning nozzle 19 rises to at least a predetermined value, the unit controller 32 performs control such that the spinning operation is stopped. The unit controller 32 further lights an alarm lamp 71.

Abstract: A communication device can transmit only types of data required by a receiving side, and change the type of the data during transmission. A transmitting device and a receiving device establish a communication connection via a data exchange network and perform communication. For example, when transferring sound data and moving image data collectively by MPEG-4 etc., the receiving device can request the transmitting device to transfer only the sound data or only the moving image data. At this time, the communication connection is terminated and a new communication connection is established, and if the required data is only the sound data, the data is transferred by ITU-T G.711, and if the required data is only the moving image data, the data is transferred by MPEG-2.

Abstract: A facsimile machine receives image data from a facsimile machine of another end. A Random Access Memory (RAM) stores a measured average value and fluctuation of an Eye Quality Monitor (EQM) value of the image data, and a number of error lines of the image data as an EQM data table. In past facsimile communication, a main control unit receives a training signal from the facsimile machine of the other end, and executes a training process. The main control unit measures an average value and fluctuation of an EQM value of the training signal, and compares the measured average value and the fluctuation of the EQM value with the average value and the fluctuation of the EQM value stored in the EQM data table. When there is no match, the main control unit executes the training process again.
