  • Patent number: 10382813
    Abstract: A content reproduction device includes a communication unit, a data acquirer, a buffering controller, a buffering condition determiner, a reassembler, and a content reproducer. The communication unit is configured to communicate with an information processing device. The data acquirer is configured to sequentially acquire pieces of data from the information processing device via the communication unit. The buffering controller is configured to buffer the pieces of data in a storage. The buffering condition determiner is configured to determine a buffering condition for buffering the pieces of data, depending on a condition of communication with the information processing device. The reassembler is configured to reassemble the pieces of data buffered in the storage in a predetermined order when the determined buffering condition is satisfied. The content reproducer is configured to reproduce a content based on the reassembled pieces of data.

  • Patent number: 8605301
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an acquiring unit, a transmission control unit, and a printing control unit. The reading unit reads images of multiple pages of originals. The acquiring unit acquires device information from connected child devices. The transmission control unit determines a child device which takes charge of part of a printing process of the read images and images to be transmitted to the child device based on the acquired device information, and transmits the determined images to the determined child device. The printing control unit determines printing order according to the acquired device information, and transmits an instruction to print the images in the determined printing order to the child device.
