Abstract: Provided is a drive-controlling method and apparatus and a robot having the apparatus for precisely detecting a collision of a arm being driven by a robot with obstacles, and for keeping damages of the arm from the collision minimum: storing a route of the arm being driven by the robot in a memory; detecting a collision by comparing a current value of a servo motor which drives the arm and a reference current value; and controlling the robot such that the arm leaves a predetermined distance from the obstacle based on the stored route, backing up the arm along the same route as before the collision.

Abstract: A document delivery apparatus is provided, which is capable of performing automatic delivery processing of document information (e.g. received fax documents and scan documents) that has been created by devices, such as registering the documents in folders of a predetermined document management server, attaching the documents to predetermined email addresses, and outputting the documents to predetermined devices. The document delivery apparatus is connected via a network to a plurality of external devices and a plurality of servers. A delivery server makes delivery settings for document information received from the external devices, receives document information from the external devices, determines a delivery destination for the received document information, based on the delivery settings, and delivers the received document information to the determined delivery destination.

Abstract: A print service system capable of improving user settlement convenience by setting a charging system depending upon each service type and dynamically determining a fee depending upon the past use records of a user to provide services specific to each user.

Abstract: A communication apparatus analyzes data supplied from an information processing terminal, discriminates a function corresponding to the analyzed data, executes data communication with the information processing terminal with respect to the discriminated function, allows to accept another function requested from the information processing terminal during the data communication, and in response to the request, executes in parallel data communication with respect to a plurality of different functions.

Abstract: To provide a document control apparatus, a document control system, a document control method and a storage medium that are capable of providing more certain access control by the unit of document and a system (service) for allowing access in the form of charging additional charge with a fixed grace period, and are capable of supporting more flexible and certain storing service.

Abstract: The disclosed spot welding robot controlling method and apparatus is able to carry out an operation for pressurizing a spot welding gun without a dead time of a spot welding robot which has the spot welding gun driven by a fluid pressure. The control method includes the steps of measuring a gun closing time, measuring an axial coincidence time, calculating a time difference between the time point of the command position axial coincidence and the output time point of the pressurization command in an actual welding operation using the gun closing time and the axial coincidence time, and outputting the pressurization command to the spot welding gun at a time point which is derived by subtracting the time difference from the time point of the command position axial coincidence in the actual welding operation.
