Abstract: A terminal apparatus is connected to an inertia sensor which is mounted to an object to be detected and an external output device by wire or wirelessly. The external output device generates a motion support output for supporting the motion of the object to be detected and to output the motion support output to the outside. The terminal apparatus includes: a determination unit that determines whether the motion of the object to be detected satisfies a preset condition, on the basis of an output signal from the inertia sensor; and a trigger generation unit that generates an output start trigger when the motion satisfies the condition. The output start trigger is used as a start signal which allows the external output device to generate a motion support output and to output the motion support output to the outside.

Abstract: Color image data composed of pixels arranged in a matrix wherein colors are expressed in bit rows is created from an acquired document file, and same-resolution binary image data and low-resolution binary image data composed of binary pixels arranged in a matrix are created based on the color image data. A first combining process is performed in which a lower bit value of a predetermined color of the pixels of the color image data is replaced with the value of the corresponding ones of the pixels of the same pixels, and a second combining process is performed in which a lower bit value of a color other than the bit replaced in the first combining process in the pixels of the first combined image data is replaced with the value of the corresponding ones of the pixels of the low-resolution binary image data.

Abstract: A program update management server includes a storage unit configured to store an update program for updating a program to be managed, a setting unit configured to set an update timing in accordance with each client in which the program to be managed is installed, an update recommending unit configured to transmit information regarding recommendation of an update so that the client acquires the update program at the update timing, and a program transmitting unit configured to transmit the update program, at the update timing, to the client that receives the information regarding recommendation of an update.

Abstract: To execute data processing without waste in a plurality of devices, on the basis of a multi-address transmitted email, in a cloud computing system for processing an email, an email processing system is provided with: a communication unit for receiving an email sent to a pre-established address; a determination unit for determining whether the received email is a first class of email for providing notification of a first state where some sort of action is needed regarding a predetermined data process with respect to a separate email or a second class of email for providing notification of a second state where no action is needed regarding the predetermined data process corresponding to the separate email; and a processing unit for executing the predetermined data process based on an email determined to be the first class of email, but not executing the predetermined data process based on the determined result by the determination unit.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention enhances the workability of bonding and improves the finish in poster printing. The procedure first sets multiple areas adjacent to one another in an image expressed by master image data, where each of the multiple areas corresponds to each unit page to be printed. The procedure then enlarges each of the adjacent areas by preset dimensions (corresponding to an enlarged area in marginless printing) and sequentially extracts image data included in each enlarged area. The procedure subsequently magnifies the extracted image data by a predetermined magnification to generate each piece of page image data. The area actually printed is a little greater than the size of each sheet of printing paper. This arrangement thus enables an image part, for example, each part of a letter ‘A’, to be printed to the top, bottom, left, and right sides of each sheet of printing paper.

Abstract: The display of each thumbnail with an appropriate paper size enables the operator to readily grasp the number of pixels constituting each image data corresponding to the thumbnail. Such display enhances the workability for selection of desired image data. Multiple thumbnails provided for respective image data are displayed as a list in a specific thumbnail display area on a window. The appropriate paper size of each thumbnail is shown on the upper right corner of the thumbnail. The appropriate paper size of each thumbnail is determined to be suitable for the print size for printing the image data corresponding to the thumbnail. The appropriate paper size is the paper size of the greatest dimensions among multiple paper size options stored in a paper size table that are sufficient for printing the image data having a specified number of pixels.

Abstract: The display of each thumbnail TN with an appropriate paper size PS enables the operator to readily grasp the number of pixels constituting each image data Dp corresponding to the thumbnail TN. Such display enhances the workability for selection of desired image data Dp. Multiple thumbnails TN provided for respective image data Dp are displayed as a list in a specific thumbnail display area on a window. The appropriate paper size PS of each thumbnail TN is shown on the upper right corner of the thumbnail TN. The appropriate paper size PS of each thumbnail TN is determined to be suitable for the print size for printing the image data Dp corresponding to the thumbnail TN. The appropriate paper size PS is the paper size of the greatest dimensions among multiple paper size options stored in a paper size table that are sufficient for printing the image data Dp having a specified number of pixels.
