Patent number: 9634926Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting an information processor to any network to perform communications are disclosed. A setting information indicating network settings to be set for an information processor when performing communications via a network is stored. A route setting packet, which is sent by a network device connected to the network to which the information processor is connected, is acquired to set a route to be used by the network device to communicate with another device. A device identification information for identifying a network device from which the route setting packet was sent is extracted from the route setting packet. The information processor is allowed to perform communications by acquiring the setting information associated with the extracted device identification information, and the information is specifically set for the information processor.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE LTDInventors: Masahiko Hatori, Yasuharu Katsuno, Vijay Alone, Toru Aihara

Publication number: 20090265615Abstract: A screen in which multiple documents are integrated and displayed is provided. An XML data acquisition unit refers to a user database and acquires content data registered by a user from a web server. An HTML data conversion unit converts XML data into HTML data. A module builder builds a module for acknowledging a request for processing the XML data in order to allow the user to work on and edit the XML data. A transmission unit attaches the module built to the HTML data produced by conversion so as to create a web page. The unit transmits the web page created to a user terminal. A processing request acknowledgement unit acknowledges a request for processing the XML data from the user terminal via the module. A processing request conversion unit converts the received request for processing the XML data into an instruction that can be executed by a document processing apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2007Publication date: October 22, 2009Inventors: Masahiko Hatori, Hideki Hiura, Hiroyuki Oota
