  • Patent number: 11733633
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that makes it possible to obtain a result of prediction of a consumption degree (remaining amount) of a consumable at a desired timing. The information processing apparatus is capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus that forms an image using toner supplied from a toner container mounted thereon. A reception unit receives first information on a consumption amount of the toner by the image forming apparatus. A controller acquires date information on a designated date, and determines second information on a consumption amount of the toner by the designated date, based on the first information in an amount corresponding to a predetermined number of days before a certain day before the designated date.

  • Publication number: 20230062831
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a processing unit that executes communication protocol processing by an OS kernel in place of the OS kernel. When the communication protocol processing by the OS kernel is hooked, a determination unit determines a state of a neighborhood entry holding cache information on a MAC header to be added to transmission data. A control unit controls a header generation processing based on the determined state of the neighborhood entry. The control unit, if the neighborhood entry holds valid cache information, performs control such that a processing unit generates a header of a layer higher than a MAC layer and the MAC header and, if the neighborhood entry does not hold valid cache information, performs control such that the processing unit generates the header of the higher layer and the OS kernel generates the MAC header.

  • Publication number: 20230057127
    Abstract: When an SIP server receives a call signal addressed to a callee side terminal, the SIP server transmits a warning signal to the callee side terminal before transmitting the call signal to the callee side terminal when an international call identifier indicating that the call signal passes through a foreign country is set in the call signal. In addition, when the SIP server receives the call signal addressed to the callee side terminal, the SIP server includes a warning that the caller number is disguised in a warning signal when an international call identifier indicating that the call signal passes through a foreign country is set in the call signal and the caller number of the call signal is a number from a country in which the callee side terminal is located.

  • Publication number: 20230033572
    Abstract: When an SIP server (24) receives a call signal addressed to a callee side terminal (31), a number conversion history set by an SIP server (22) that has transferred the call signal in a transfer service involved with a number conversion is read from the call signal, and if the number conversion history meets a specific condition, a warning signal is transmitted to the callee side terminal (31) before the call signal is transmitted to the callee side terminal (31). The SIP server (24) transmits a warning signal to the callee side terminal (31) if the number of times of number conversion is equal to or greater than a predetermined number as a specific condition.

  • Patent number: 10504247
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus transmits, to a reception apparatus, first video captured by an imaging apparatus and second video captured to detect a position and orientation of the imaging apparatus when capturing the first video, and includes a memory containing instructions, and at least one processor for executing the instructions. The instructions are executed to operate as a control unit to control transmission rates of the first and second videos so that a transmission rate ratio between the first video and the second video changes, and a transmission unit to transmit the first video and the second video to the reception apparatus in accordance with the controlled transmission rates. The control unit further controls the transmission rates of the first video and the second video so that the transmission rate of the second video decreases if a communication bandwidth between the transmission apparatus and the reception apparatus decreases.
