  • Patent number: 9632696
    Abstract: A display device for displaying presentation data including multiple pages, which receives the presentation data and a page number of a page displayed from a presenter device. An image of a page having the received page number from among the multiple pages is displayed in a follow mode, and an image of any given page from among the multiple pages is displayed in a write mode. A handwritten image is detected in the write mode, associated with a page number of a page displayed, and temporarily stored when a follow mode set instruction is accepted in the write mode. If a return instruction is accepted in the follow mode, the handwritten image specified by the temporary storage data is displayed superimposed on an image of the page having a page number specified by the stored temporary storage data among the multiple pages of the presentation data.

  • Patent number: 8755066
    Abstract: At an extended function server side, user information is received, and a user authentication process is executed. When the authenticity is established, an extended function table is read out, and an extended function list is generated in correspondence with users, based on the extended function table. Then, determination is made as to whether there is an extended function list set in correspondence with a user. When there is an extended function list set in correspondence with a user, the extended function list is transmitted. At the MFP side, the extended function list transmitted from the extended function server is received. Then, the received extended function list is registered.
