  • Publication number: 20230344946
    Abstract: In a communication device, if a first touch on a touch panel is detected and, subsequently, a second touch is detected within a predetermined period of time from a time of the first touch and if an object displayed on the touch panel at a position at which the second touch is detected is an object used to select a destination, selection of the destination by the touch on the object is not performed. If a first touch on the touch panel is detected and, subsequently, a second touch is detected within a predetermined period of time from a time of the first touch and if an object displayed on the touch panel at a position at which the second touch is detected is not an object used to select a destination, processing to be activated by the touch on the object is performed.

  • Patent number: 11797244
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of preventing display priority of an application button displayed on a home screen from being raised to a higher rank due to repeat of error termination. A plurality of application buttons each for executing a predetermined job with settings therefor are displayed on the home screen. A user interface selects one object of the plurality of objects. After the one object is selected by the user interface, the one job is executed based on settings set in association therewith. When execution of the job is not normally completed, the controller does not increase the number of times of use of the object selected by the user interface according to which the display priority of the object is raised.

  • Patent number: 9154664
    Abstract: A receiver image processing apparatus capable of easily performing post-processing in line with a print setting. The receiver image processing apparatus includes a printing unit able to print image data on a plurality of types of sheets of different sizes. When an incoming call arrives from a sender image processing apparatus, a determination unit of the apparatus determines whether a setting to perform post-processing on sheets by a post-processing unit has been made by a setting unit. If it is determined that the setting to perform post-processing has been made, a notification unit of the receiver image processing apparatus notifies size information representing a sheet size belonging to a predetermined series, as ability information of the apparatus, to the sender image processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8817305
    Abstract: A communication apparatus that can leave a transmission history including transmission destination information as well as transmission destination dial information at the time of PC-FAX transmission. A facsimile apparatus, which is a communication apparatus having a PC-FAX transmission function, acquires transmission destination dial information from a facsimile transmission request received from a client terminal, searches an address book database registered in the facsimile apparatus to find an address book including transmission destination dial information coincident with the acquired dial information, and performs facsimile transmission based on the acquired transmission destination dial information. If an address book including transmission destination dial information coincident with the acquired dial information is found by the search, a transmission history is stored that includes dial information and transmission destination information that are registered in the address book found by the search.
