  • Patent number: 9736761
    Abstract: A relay station 200 constructs an infrastructure wireless network 200L. A printing device 100 requests new participation in the wireless network 200L. When preset conditions are satisfied, for example, when the user has pressed a push button 201 provided on the relay station 200, the relay station 200 establishes temporary wireless communication with the printing device 100 and changes an SSID of the printing device 100 to an SSID of the relay station 200. In this manner, this arrangement readily changes the configuration information of the printing device 100.

  • Patent number: 8611648
    Abstract: There are provided a foreground region extraction program, a foreground region extraction apparatus, and a foreground region extraction method capable of clipping an object region (foreground region) at high speed. An arrangement is as follows: Foreground pixels designated by a user and background pixels designated thereby are each set as a reference pixel to identify, from among a plurality of divided color spaces created by a three-dimensional color space being divided, the divided color space to which each of the reference pixels belongs, as a reference divided color space.
