  • Patent number: 10063731
    Abstract: An input control script embedded in a web page is received by a client terminal that accesses, using a web browser, a web application server on which a web application operates, and that controls an input device. The input control script comprises an acquisition request transmission unit that sends an acquisition request to the input device when a specific operation is performed on the web page from the web application server; an acquisition unit that acquires input information from the input device as a response to the acquisition request; and a drawing process unit that draws the input information acquired by the acquisition unit in a specific drawing area.

  • Patent number: 10026028
    Abstract: A method of controlling printing by print control script embedded in a web page acquired by a client terminal from a web application server includes, after the acquired web page is displayed, accepting an input operation on the displayed web page and drawing a result of the input operation in a specific drawing area, the accepting and drawing operations being performed by the client terminal. The method further includes generating print data by converting image data written in the specific drawing area to a form enabling processing by a printer as a result of a print operation performed on the displayed web page, and commanding the printer to print the print data.

  • Patent number: 9977639
    Abstract: Using a web browser, a client terminal accesses a web application server on which a web application operates and controls an image input device. A displayed web page from the server has an embedded image input control script that operates on the web browser and controls image input. Under the control of the image input control script, an image acquisition request is sent to the image input device when a specific operation is performed on the displayed web page, and, as a response, an image is acquired from the image input device. Under control of the image input control script, a selection window is displayed for selecting whether or not to stop operation of the image input device when an event changing the web page occurs while such device is operating, and a stop operation request is sent to the image input device when stopping its operation is selected.

  • Patent number: 9398074
    Abstract: A network system enables controlling an image input device without requiring a driver that depends on the computer environment. A client terminal has a component that acquires a web page having an embedded scanner control script that controls image input from a scanner; a component that sends an image acquisition request through an interface board to the scanner as controlled by the scanner control script; and a component that gets an image from the scanner as a response to the image acquisition request as controlled by the scanner control script. The interface board receives the image acquisition request, and sends the image scanned by the scanner based on the received image acquisition request to the client terminal.
