Patent number: 11150851Abstract: A display controller includes: a display unit that displays information together with a menu of operations; a screen controller that switches at least one item included in the menu between full display and compact display for display; and an operation unit that accepts an operation from a user including an operation for the menu. In a case where the operation unit accepts the operation for the menu, the screen controller switches the compact display of the menu item to the full display in response to the operation. In a case where display other than the menu is updated, the screen controller switches the full display of the menu item to the compact display.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazuhiko Ido, Hirohito Morioka

Publication number: 20200244826Abstract: According to an electric apparatus serving as a multifunction peripheral having a plurality of functions, when an event that affects or might affect at least one of the functions occurs, badges are attached to function selection icons corresponding to the functions that are affected or might be affected. The badges are each displayed in a mode that corresponds to the relationship between the corresponding function and the event.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventor: KAZUHIKO IDO

Publication number: 20200204512Abstract: According to a multifunction machine as an electronic apparatus according to the present invention, a badge is arranged on a screen displayed on a display. A number indicating an undelivery number is assigned to the badge. The multifunction machine includes a human sensor that senses the presence or absence of a user in a predetermined area at the periphery of the multifunction machine. Based on a sensing result by the human sensor, determination on whether or not a message is delivered to the user is made. Then, based on such a determination result, the undelivery number is managed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventor: KAZUHIKO IDO

Publication number: 20160019013Abstract: An image forming apparatus stores permission information that identifies a network for which printing is permitted, and receives a print job from a terminal device via a network. If network information indicating a network to which the terminal device belongs is not included in the permission information, the image forming apparatus accepts an instruction as to whether or not to perform printing based on the print job. Upon accepting an instruction for printing the print job, the image forming apparatus stores the network information as the permission information and prints the print job. Upon accepting an instruction for prohibiting the printing of the print job, the image forming apparatus cancels the print job.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventor: Kazuhiko IDO

Patent number: 8422056Abstract: When an accepting unit is removed from a main unit, a situation of the main unit is detected whether belonging to waiting situations, operation situations, malfunction situations, or the like. A display part then displays images in accordance with the detected situations. The display part is arranged on the accepting unit that is removable from the main unit. Therefore, it is possible to change images displayed on the display part in accordance with the situations of the main unit at the time when the accepting unit is removed.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuyuki Ueda, Kaoru Ishikura, Takashi Nakagawa, Shuhji Fujii, Kazuhiko Ido, Shinji Kato

Patent number: 8395792Abstract: A control unit of an image data processing apparatus executes a program including the step (S1030) of calculating a hash value based on image data received from an image processing terminal; the step (S1070) of issuing, if the same document (image) has already been printed by a user of the same group (YES at S1040, YES at S1050 and YES at S1060), a notice to that effect to the user who requested print registration; and the step (S1090) of registering the hash value and a user ID, if continuation of registration is still requested.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kazuhiko Ido

Patent number: 8301073Abstract: In an image forming apparatus of the present invention, when performing one-side printing during a predetermined period after two-side printing, a change in a carrying velocity of a post-process apparatus is prevented and thus recording paper having passed through a fixing section is carried and output at a velocity that is lower than a velocity for normal one-side printing and that is identical with a velocity for two-side printing. Consequently, it is possible to prevent dropping of productivity of the image forming system due to a time necessary for changing the carrying velocity of the post-process apparatus and to increase an operating ratio of the image forming system, even if the post-process apparatus is designed to completely stop the carrying roller etc. when changing the carrying velocity.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuyuki Ueda, Shuhji Fujii, Yuji Okamoto, Kenji Takahashi, Kazuhiko Ido

Patent number: 8139240Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided, in which communication history that may change in a sleep mode is updated and displayed, whereby state of data communication in the sleep mode can be grasped. Even if the image forming apparatus as a whole is stopped, power is supplied only to a communication unit. When data is transmitted/received from an external device, a communication controller of the communication unit that transmitted/received data temporarily drives an electronic paper, so that transmission/reception log is displayed on electronic paper. Thereafter, power supply to the electronic paper is stopped.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouji Miyake, Shuhji Fujii, Kazuhiko Ido, Tsutomu Yoshimoto
