  • Patent number: 11880623
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a control method for an image forming system includes establishing a remote connection to a first image forming device from a user terminal, then receiving, at the user terminal, screen information generated by the first image forming device and transmitted via the remote connection. The generated screen information is displayed on a display of the user terminal. A user input is received at the user terminal. The user input corresponds to the displayed screen information. For example, the user input selects a print data destination or the like. The user input is sent to the first image forming device.

  • Publication number: 20230343129
    Abstract: A light source (11) of a disguising mask detecting device (1) emits light at a person who is a subject. A camera (12) acquires images in multiple different wavelength ranges of reflected light of the light emitted at the person. A face detector (172) detects a face region of the person from the images acquired by the camera (12). A determiner (173) determines that the person is wearing a disguising mask when luminances of the face region in the images satisfy specific relations different from relations exhibited by skin.

  • Publication number: 20210334526
    Abstract: A living body detection device (1) includes: an image acquisition unit (171), a determination unit (173) and a detection unit (174). The image acquisition unit (171) acquires a first image in which a subject irradiated by light in a first wavelength range is imaged, and a second image in which the subject irradiated by light in a second wavelength range is imaged, the second wavelength range being different from the first wavelength range. The determination unit (173) determines whether a relation expressed by luminance of the subject imaged in the first image and luminance of the subject imaged in the second image is a relation exhibited by a living body. The detection unit (174) detects that the subject is a living body in a case where the determination unit (173) has determined that it is the relation exhibited by the living body.
