  • Patent number: 10013147
    Abstract: Provided is a display apparatus that displays a first page and a second page. The display apparatus includes a determining unit configured to determine whether or not the layout of the first page is similar to the layout of the second page by comparing an object included in the first page with an object included in the second page which is different from the first page; and a display unit configured to display the first page on a screen based on a display area having been set by a user, wherein, if the determining unit determines that the layout of the first page is similar to the layout of the second page, the display unit displays the second page on the screen based on the set display area.

  • Publication number: 20140173532
    Abstract: In display apparatuses each including a touch UI, some of them correct or suppress the direction of display position shift in swipe operation. It is, however, inconvenient that sometimes the correction or suppression is performed at an undesired timing. The display position shift is suppressed depending on an attribute of a displayed object.

  • Patent number: 8046684
    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus including a printer driver, when outputting of data generated by executing an application is requested, an output mode selection is performed to select a first output mode in which to output the data generated by the application without data indicating an revise date/time and a second output mode in which to output the data generated by the application together with the data indicating the revise date/time of the data generated by the application. In accordance with the selection, the printer driver controls outputting of data to a printer in the first output mode in which the data generated by the application is output to the printer without the data indicating the revise date/time or in the second output mode in which the data generated by the application is output to the printer together with the data indicating the revise date/time. This allows the revise date/time to be easily reflected in a printed matter produced by the printer.

  • Patent number: 7590857
    Abstract: When transferred data is registered, it is determined whether access to the registered data is or is not protected by a password. If it is determined that a password is necessary, an inquiry is made to the registration request side, as to whether or not registration processing is to be continued. If a response of agreeing to the registration is received, registration processing is continued, while if a response of not agreeing to the registration is received, the registration processing is stopped. When a request of outputting registered data is received, it is determined whether or not password is necessary to output the registered data. If it is determined that password is necessary, password input is requested to an output request side. If a password inputted by the output request side is correct output processing is continued, while if the password is not correct, the output processing is stopped.

  • Patent number: 7433063
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus executes a plurality of types of jobs. In this apparatus, it is determined whether the execution history of each type of job is to be indicated. The execution history is stored if it is determined that it is to be indicated. The execution history is then transmitted to a PC on a network connected to the data processing apparatus and is displayed as a history list.

  • Patent number: 7167255
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises process means for executing a predetermined process based on the input instruction, connection means for connection with an external device, display means for displaying information based on the data received from the external device through the connection means, discrimination means for discriminating whether the input by the instruction input means has not been executed for a predetermined period. Control means causes the display means to execute display based on the data received from the external device through the connection means, in case the discrimination means judges that the input instruction has not been executed for the predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 7023571
    Abstract: A method to enhance the copy or printout efficiency and decrease the number of output jobs that are abandoned because of undesirable outputs. Abort of output due to absence of sheets or staples, overload of a delivery tray, or the like is predicted. If output abort is determined, data is removed from an output queue and re-registered as an output reserve job at the end of the queue.

  • Publication number: 20060026437
    Abstract: When transferred data is registered, it is determined whether or not password is necessary to access the transferred data. If it is determined that password is necessary, it is notified that transferred data necessary password is registered to a registration request side, and an inquiry whether or not registration processing is to be continued is made on the registration request side. If a response of agreeing to the registration is received, registration processing is continued, while if a response of not agreeing to the registration is received, the registration processing is stopped. When a request of outputting a registered data is received, it is determined whether or not password is necessary to output the registered data.
