Abstract: A monitor camera is provided with a control device which carries out a predetermined process in response to an input of a trigger signal. The control device has an arrangement in that continuous images are successively inputted from a camera unit thereto and in that a detection of a moving object is carried out by detecting a change in images in a moving-object detector. When no change in images is detected by the moving-object detector within a predetermined time after the input of a trigger signal from a detection sensor to a trigger signal input unit, the control device determines the trigger signal inputted to the trigger signal input unit as valid. Then, only when the valid trigger signal has been detected, an abnormality process is carried out. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the abnormality process from being performed upon erroneous detection of a normal state as an abnormal state.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a display, an obtaining unit obtaining second data containing information for identifying the link information having no image data in a corresponding storage position among the plural pieces of link information contained in the first data, a display control unit making the display selectively display first link information having image data in a corresponding storage position and second link information having no image data in the corresponding storage position in different formats based on the second data, and a transmission unit transmitting image data generated by a scanning unit to the corresponding storage position.

Abstract: The MFP includes an EEPROM storing display screens, and a display control portion to read a display screen for display on a display portion. When a first area in the display screen includes a variable display item for which an arbitrary number of data pieces are displayed, the display control portion acquires the number of data pieces to be displayed therefor, changes the size of a field for the variable display item based on the acquired number of data pieces, determines the size of a second area based on the size of the first area after the size change of the variable display item field and the size of the display area of the display portion, and modifies the read display screen to a display screen having the first area after the size change of the variable display item field and the second area of the determined size arranged therein.

Abstract: An MFP stores information of a web service for permitting use with respect to each user, and information for limiting a use of its function. When there is a web service allowed to be used by the logged in user, its list is displayed. When a linked function with the selected web service is not allowed to be used, a massage to the effect that is displayed and when the use of the function is limited, limited contents are displayed to confirm the use of the web service.

Abstract: A transmission-side MFP receives a user name, checks whether the user name is registered in a destination user list, and if so, transmits image data to a reception-side MFP. If an ACK is received, the transmission-side MFP displays that transmission was successful. When a NACK is received or a time out occurs, the transmission-side MFP checks whether the user name is registered in an individual address book, and if so, transmits the image data using a corresponding transmission method. If an ACK is received, the transmission-side MFP displays that transmission was successful. If a timeout occurs, the transmission-side MFP displays that transmission failed.

Abstract: A digital camera is provided with a plurality of image-pickup modes to carry out an optimal controlling process in accordance with an image-pickup scene. With respect to mode selection settings, a switching can be made between a manual selection setting in which the user manually selects an image-pickup mode and an automatic selection setting which automatically discriminates each image-pickup scene, and selects a suitable image-pickup mode. In the case of the automatic selection setting in the mode selection setting, a limited value in comparison with a parameter value relating to the image quality set at the time of the manual selection setting is set as the parameter. As a result, even in the case of a misdiscrimination in an image-pickup scene, it is possible to provide a flawless image as the resulting image, and consequently to prevent serious degradation in the image quality.

Abstract: An image processing device sets a processing value used for implementing an image processing with respect to a region of image data other than a region defined by an integral multiple of the size of a reference block if it is judged that the size of the image data in at least one of horizontal and vertical directions does not equal to the integral multiple of the size of a corresponding side of the reference block, and implements the image processing based on the processing value. With this arrangement, image processing is executable appropriately with respect to image data of an arbitrary size, and information such as characters written on a whiteboard or the like is reproducible clearly.

The image forming apparatus comprises an image pickup part for forming an image of the subject, a photographing mode automatically setting part for automatically selecting one photographing mode from among a plurality of photographing modes based on a photographing condition when the subject is photographed, and setting the selected photographing mode, a display part for displaying the image of the subject; and a display control part for displaying on the display part a kind of the photographing mode set by the photographing mode automatically setting part together with the image of the subject.

Abstract: In an image taking apparatus in which a plurality of different types of image are previously defined to correspond to different sets of shooting conditions so that the type of an image to be taken is determined according to the shooting conditions under which the image is going to be taken, different types of image are discriminated more precisely than ever. After the type of the image is determined, the shooting conditions are still monitored so that, if a change is detected therein, the type of the image is re-determined. The type of the image is re-determined either when there has been even a slight change in the shooting conditions or when the shooting conditions have changed out of a predetermined range, and either when a change in the shooting conditions has persisted for a predetermined period of time or when the shooting conditions have become stable after a change therein.
