Abstract: A robot control device according to an aspect of the invention is a robot control device that controls a robot on the basis of a simulation result of a simulation device that performs a simulation of operation of a virtual robot on a virtual space. In the simulation, a first region and a second region located on an inside of the first region can be set on the virtual space. In the case where the virtual robot operates, when a specific portion of the virtual robot intrudes into the first region, operating speed of the virtual robot is limited. When the specific portion of the virtual robot intrudes into the second region, the operation of the virtual robot stops or the virtual robot retracts from the second region.

Abstract: A printing terminal 208P creates delivery result information regarding delivered content data and transmits the created delivery result information to a posting server 202. The posting server 202 receives the transmitted delivery result information, adds the received delivery result information to delivery record information stored in a memory, and notifies a sending terminal of at least part of the delivery record information. This arrangement enables low-cost and high-quality delivery of print contents.

Abstract: Facsimile systems, devices, and methods are provided related to transmitting an image from a sending device to a receiving device via a network. One embodiment includes a status information reply unit which replies to a notification request of status information from a sending device by transmitting status information representing status of the receiving-device to the sending device via a network, in which the status information reply unit includes a transmission source classifying portion which determines a class of the sending device and a selected-status information transmitting portion which transmits the status information to the sending device via the network.

Abstract: Provided is a cooperative task supporting system having a plurality of clients, which are to be used by a plurality of users, and a server and supporting a cooperative task of the plurality of users of the plurality of clients, wherein the server includes: a part information storage unit which stores part information including attribute information of a predetermined object corresponding to a part, which is to be displayed on a screen of the client of the user participating in the cooperative task, and address information on the object; and a transmitting unit which transmits the part information to the client of the user participating in the cooperative task, and wherein the client includes: a receiving unit which receives the part information; and a display control unit which allows the part to be displayed on the screen based on the part information.
