Patent number: 9535643Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interactions between print servers and mobile phones. One embodiment is a mobile phone comprising a memory, a transceiver, and a control unit. The memory is operable to store rules for interacting with printers, and the transceiver is operable to communicate with a wireless telecommunication network via radio frequency transmissions. The control unit is operable to receive a notification from a print server via the transceiver that indicates status information for a printer controlled by the print server, to determine actions available for the printer based on the stored rules and the status information, and to generate a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that displays interactive graphical elements selectable by a user to initiate the available actions for the printer.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2012Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Marquis G. Waller, Jung Yi, Daria Tolmacheva, Norris Xu

Patent number: 8964238Abstract: P recording heads are arranged a recording unit. The P recording heads are divided into N (groups in the sub-scanning direction. The N controllers respectively control the recording heads pertaining to corresponding groups. When it is determined that variable data straddles a boundary (M/S boundary line) of recording regions (a master recording region and a slave recording region) of the recording heads, which are controlled by different controllers, the feed quantity of the recording unit is adjusted to a feeding quantity such that the variable data do not straddle the M/S boundary line.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Hirotsuna Miura

Patent number: 8730519Abstract: An image processing device includes: a process section; a generation section; and a supply section. The process section includes: an index value determination section; and an adjustment section. The index value determination section is configured to determine an index value for each of a plurality of target pixels included in edge image data. The adjustment section is configured not to adjust a pixel value of the target pixel in a first case where the density of the target pixel is determined to be relatively low based on the index value of the target pixel, and configured to adjust the pixel value of the target pixel so as to reduce the density of the target pixel in a second case where the density of the target pixel is determined to be relatively high based on the index value of the target pixel.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masashi Kuno

Patent number: 8599245Abstract: When multiple face frames are displayed along with multiple faces, disturbance of stereoscopic effect of an observer having stereoscopic vision is prevented and in addition, visual weariness is suppressed. A stereoscopic photographed image composed of multiple photographed images respectively captured with multiple image pickup devices is input. Positions of faces in each of the photographed images are identified. Focusing states in the positions of faces based on in-focus positions and distance information on the positions of faces. Face frames indicating the positions of faces are blurred according to the focusing states in the positions of faces. A stereoscopic display image is generated from the generated face frames and the stereoscopic photographed image.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Takeshi Misawa
