  • Patent number: 8804166
    Abstract: The present invention can provide an image processing system in which a job setting screen is displayed on a local apparatus in consideration of the capabilities of the local apparatus and a remote apparatus when a plurality of image processing apparatuses cooperatively execute a job. To accomplish this, in the present image processing system, the local apparatus acquires function information on the remote apparatus when the plurality of image processing apparatuses executes one job in cooperation. Furthermore, the local apparatus controls the display contents of a setting screen used when an operator sets a job setting in order to restrict a job function based on the acquired function information and function information on the local apparatus itself.

  • Publication number: 20140125861
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus including an imaging element that includes a pixel portion sets a first readout area and then performs detection processing for detecting the phase difference of an image signal read out from the area to thereby output the reliability of the phase difference. If the imaging apparatus determines that phase difference detection has been successful, the imaging apparatus executes focus adjustment processing based on the detected phase difference. If the imaging apparatus determines that the phase difference has failed to be detected, the imaging apparatus sets a second readout area having a range wider than that of the first readout area as a readout area, and then sets an area other than an area which is included in the first readout area from the second readout area and is used for generating a display image as a trimming target.

  • Publication number: 20100031261
    Abstract: It is determined whether a print command to a virtual image forming apparatus defined in the virtual space is a command to create a virtual output product by the virtual image forming apparatus, or a command to print an output product by the image forming apparatus that is linked to the virtual image forming apparatus. A virtual space providing system simulates printing of an output product by the image forming apparatus by creating virtual printed matter in the virtual space, when it is determined that the command is to create a virtual output product by the virtual image forming apparatus as a result of the determination. The virtual space providing system outputs the print command to the image forming apparatus, when it is determined that the command is to print an output product by the image forming apparatus that is linked to the virtual image forming apparatus.
