Abstract: To achieve the above objects, a communication apparatus for forming and outputting image data on the basis of data received via a network analyzes the contents of received electronic mail and extracts binary data encoded using character codes. The communication apparatus converts the extracted binary data into image data and outputs the data. The communication apparatus requests, where necessary, a server apparatus on the network to convert the binary data into the image data. If the conversion from the binary data into the image data is impossible, the communication apparatus reports this information to the source of the electronic mail in the same session as the electronic mail. The communication apparatus also generates a message from the reported information and transmits the message as electronic mail in a session other than the electronic mail.

Abstract: As an apparatus which provides a high-quality service that reduces the service usage load of users, there is disclosed an information processing apparatus accessed from a communication terminal, which includes a session information generation unit that generates, for each session with a communication terminal, session information containing identification information of the session and storing the session information in a storage unit, an invalidation unit that invalidates session information related to a session which has no access for a first predetermined time, an accumulating unit that accumulates an image, a display image copy unit that copies display image data corresponding to the image accumulated in the accumulating unit to a predetermined area in response to a request from the communication terminal, and a deletion unit that deletes the display image data which is not referred to for a second predetermined time

Abstract: This invention has as its object to display a dialog that reflects changes such as deletion of an image, inhibition of publication of an image, and the like, which take place while images of an album owner, which are stored on a network are published to a partner user. Upon receiving access from a communication terminal of the partner user, its session information and copy information of image data are managed in association with each other. Every time access is made from the communication terminal of the partner user, whether or not specific image data from the copy information is to be output is controlled on the basis of image management information of image data.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus on a network stores data in the form of albums in each of which a plurality of data are archived, and the information processing apparatus provides stored albums to communication terminals via the network in an efficient manner. The information processing apparatus detects the device type of a communication terminal and determines whether a part or all of data included in an album should be provided at a time to the communication terminal, depending on the detected type of the communication terminal. This makes it possible even for a communication terminal having low communication performance to receive data via the network without encountering an error.

Abstract: When an information processing apparatus provides data to a communication terminal via a network, if a new session starts between the information processing apparatus and communication terminal, the information processing apparatus copies data, and manages copied data together with a session ID. When an access of the identical session is made between the information processing apparatus and communication terminal, the information processing apparatus provides the managed copy of the data to the communication terminal. In this manner, even when original data has been changed during an access of an identical session, the information processing apparatus can provide data which is available at the beginning of the session with the communication terminal.

Abstract: This invention relates to a service which manages data using an information processing server on a network and allows another user to browse the managed data in accordance with an instruction from a data owner. Also, this invention particularly relates to a case wherein a terminal that the other user uses to browse the managed data is a compact information processing apparatus such as a mobile phone or the like. Upon providing the managed data and appended data associated with the managed data to a terminal of the other user, the information processing server changes the appended data and a method of providing the appended data in correspondence with the performance of the terminal of the other user.

Abstract: Data input into an information input apparatus is uploaded to an application server on a network via a communications adapter and downloaded to the image input apparatus from the network application server via the communications adapter in response to a user request. The upload of data input to the image input apparatus to the network application server via the communications adapter involves small data size data (thumbnail data). Original data corresponding to the uploaded small data size data may then be uploaded to the network application server upon user request, the original data then being downloaded to the image input apparatus via the communications adapter from the network application server.

Abstract: In a printer server system composed of a plurality of client terminals, a file server and a printer server connected to the same network, the file server manages raster image data to be printed out and queuing information for queuing print commands. If a main controller judges that the data type of a raster image differs from a data type capable of being outputted in the printer server connected to the network, a gray-scale raster image, for example, is converted to image data of a data type, such as binary data, capable of being printed out. The converted image data is then outputted by the printer server.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for modifying fats and oils by an interesterification reaction to efficiently increase concentrations of the desired triglycerides. In the process, a step for subjecting a fat or oil to an interesterification reaction with a fatty acid or its lower alcohol ester in the presence of an enzyme catalyst and then a step for removing the fatty acid or its lower alcohol ester by distillation are repeated in multiple stages. The process is characterized by leaving the fat or oil and a feedstock fatty acid or its ester selectively in the distillation steps preceding the one in the final stage. According to this process, the amount of the fatty acid or its ester to be used can be reduced and the formation of by-products can be inhibited, thereby enabling to increase concentrations of the desired triglycerides more efficiently than conventional multistage interesterification processes.
