  • Publication number: 20140104140
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is that, even when the output source of information being outputted by another apparatus is unknown by a user, an apparatus can output the identical information by accessing the output source of the information without communication connection. A PC apparatus acquires and analyzes the information (image, sound) being outputted by the another information output apparatus by image capturing or sound collecting, thereby detecting the output source of the information (broadcast channel, URL, etc.) and then accesses the output source, thereby outputting the information, which is identical to the information being outputted by the another information apparatus, also by the PC apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6298359
    Abstract: A color table stores a plurality of discriminating information so as to discriminate a predetermined data of a document data and a color information corresponding to each discriminating information. An area information indicative of a position on the document which is additionally outputted is stored. When the document is printed, a predetermined data of the document data is discriminated, and the color information corresponding to the discriminated predetermined data is retrieved from the color table. An image generated by an identified color according to the retrieved color information is drawn on the document at a predetermined position indicated by the area information. Accordingly, by an image color which is additionally outputted at the predetermined position, a user can simply identify a type of the document and inherent information of the document by its appearance at a glance.
