Abstract: When message communication data including destination data and message data has been received, a data acquiring portion acquires, from a storage device, a piece of target person data that is a piece of registrant data corresponding to the destination data. When the piece of target person data has been acquired, a target person extracting portion extracts, from a captured image of a camera, target face feature data that matches registered face feature data of the piece of target person data. An audio control portion causes an audio device to output an audio message that includes a target person identification sound representing registrant identification data of the piece of target person data. When the message is output, and it has been determined that the target person is present in front of an apparatus, an output control portion causes an information output device to output information represented by the message data.

Abstract: Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method capable of limiting the content of a document displayed on a preview screen. The image processing apparatus and image processing method according to this disclosure generate limited display data for displaying a limited document in which the content of a limited area satisfying a specific limiting condition cannot be recognized in a document indicated by document data of a processing target in the image processing apparatus. Then display the preview screen of the limited document on a display unit of the image processing apparatus based on the limited display data.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal. The image forming apparatus forms an image on paper. The mobile terminal communicates with the image forming apparatus through a communication network. Mode information is inputted to the image forming apparatus from an external device. The mode information indicates a quiet mode in which an image is formed at a predetermined formation speed, or a normal mode in which the image is formed at a faster formation speed than the quiet mode. The quiet mode is settable on the mobile terminal. The image forming apparatus forms an image in the quiet mode when the mode information inputted from the external device indicates the normal mode and setting information indicating the quiet mode is acquired from the mobile terminal.

Abstract: An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal communicates with the image forming apparatus through a communication network. Mode information is inputted to the image forming apparatus from an external device. The mode information indicates one mode among a quiet mode in which an image is formed at a predetermined formation speed, a normal mode in which the image is formed at a faster formation speed than the quiet mode, and an urgent mode in which an image forming process in the quiet mode or the normal mode is interrupted to form the image. The quiet mode is sellable on the mobile terminal. The image forming apparatus forms the image in the urgent mode when the mode information inputted from the external device indicates the urgent mode and setting information indicating the quiet mode is acquired from the mobile terminal.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and a control unit. The control unit includes a processor and functions, when the processor executes a control program, as a screenshot executing section and a control section. The screenshot executing section acquires an image being displayed on the display. The control section performs authentication processing authenticating a user. When an image that requires authentication of the user is being displayed on the display, the control section forbids the screenshot executing section to acquire the image. When an image that requires no authentication of the user is being displayed on the display, the control section permits the screenshot executing section to acquire the image.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display unit, an image forming unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit forms an image on a recording sheet. The control unit includes a processor, and acts as a controller when the processor executes a control program. The controller calculates a coverage rate to be realized when the image is formed on the recording sheet, decides a recycle category of the recording sheet according to the coverage rate, and either causes the display unit to display the recycle category, or causes the image forming unit to form an image of the recycle category on the recording sheet, together with the image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display section, a storage section, and a control unit. When accepting a predetermined gesture under a gesture acceptance control, the control unit allows the storage section to store window information indicating a size and a position of a window being displayed on the display section, creates an icon associated with a file being displayed in the window, and allows the display section to display the icon. When accepting a launch gesture on the icon under the gesture acceptance control, the control unit retrieves the window information from the storage section and allows the display section to display a window for displaying the file associated with the icon in the size and position indicated by the window information.
