  • Publication number: 20230182471
    Abstract: A data-generating unit of an inkjet recording apparatus recognizes, based on a detection signal of a recording medium output from a recording medium detection sensor, an open part region that is a region of an open part located in a position shifted from a recording medium detected by the recording medium detection sensor in a transport direction among regions of a plurality of open parts included in an open part reading data read by an open part detection sensor to generate flushing data in accordance with the open part region. A flushing control unit recognizes at least one non-image-forming period in which the open part corresponding to the region passes a position facing the recording head by running of the transport belt, based on the detection signal, and causes the recording head to execute flushing, based on flushing data, in the at least one non-image-forming period.

  • Patent number: 10895934
    Abstract: An information input device includes a display, a touch sensor, and a controller. The display displays a plurality of objects. The touch sensor outputs a signal indicating a touch position at which the touch surface is touched. When receiving the signal indicating the touch position, the controller determines whether or not the touch position is a position corresponding to any of the objects. When determining that the touch position is a position corresponding to any of the objects, the controller accepts the touch as a touch operation. When accepting the touch operation, the controller sets a portion of the touch surface as an erroneous input restriction region. The controller sets the erroneous input restriction region based on the touch position. When determining that the touch operation is cancelled, the controller changes the erroneous input restriction region based on the touch position.

  • Publication number: 20160217278
    Abstract: Provided is an authentication apparatus that can register the fingerprint data for collation for comparing with the read fingerprint data, easily. A fingerprint reading part reads fingerprint data at the time of the touch operation of the input identification code. A fingerprint data collating part, specifies authentication identification code and authenticates a user by comparing the read fingerprint data and the authentication fingerprint data associated with the authentication identification code and stored in the memory part. Authentication-fingerprint-data registering part, when the authentication fingerprint data correspond with the read fingerprint data are not stored, and when the authentication identification code corresponded with the input identification code is stored, associates the read fingerprint data with the authentication identification code corresponded with the input identification code as authentication fingerprint data and store it in the memory part.
