  • Patent number: 8953270
    Abstract: A library device in which, even if the relation between the number of pulses of a stepping motor and an encoder count number changes, a movement distance of a medium transfer means can be verified by an encoder count number counted by an encoder sensor is provided. A control means (2) determines a proof factor used when calculating an assumed encoder count number assumed based on the number of pulses according to a movement distance of a medium transfer means (5). When a movement distance of the medium transfer means (5) is verified, an assumed encoder count number, which is assumed based on the above-mentioned determined proof factor and the number of pulses according to the movement distance of the medium transfer means (5), and an actual encoder count number, which is counted by an encoder sensor when a stepping motor is driven by the number of pulses according to the movement distance of medium transfer means (5), are compared.

  • Patent number: 8935608
    Abstract: In a layout system, assuming that container (partial region) B is set with a high priority level, and the contents of container A are changed after a previous browse timing of the user, container B is preferentially laid out irrespective of the change in contents of container A. Upon generating a digital document by inserting contents in respective containers in accordance with the definition of a document template, the unread/read state of a container or content is managed for each user. The priority level of display of the container or a container in which the content is inserted is set in accordance with the unread/read state of the container or content, and a digital document on which a plurality of containers are arranged in accordance with the priority levels is generated.

  • Publication number: 20140340709
    Abstract: When a rotation instruction is issued to replace MFP A by MFP B to be used, a management application of the MFP A obtains and stores network information of the MFP B, and exchanges setting value data of the MFP A with that of the MFP B. Further, if the network information of the MFP A is included in the exchanged setting value data, the management application of the MFP A changes the exchanged setting value data using the stored network information of the MFP B.

  • Patent number: 8593663
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus executes functional processing according to specific functional processing information stored in a storage unit. The image forming apparatus determines whether any data remains in the storage unit when new functional processing information is set. The image forming apparatus prevents the specific functional processing information stored in the storage unit from being updated based on the new functional processing information if any data remains in the storage unit, and replaces the specific functional processing information stored in the storage unit with the new functional processing information if no data remains in the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8402009
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that positively notifies a notification destination of information to be notified even if a communication protocol is changed before notifying storage of stored data. A notification setting processing section of a document storage notification application sets a protocol for accessing the stored document data from a computer via a network. When document data is stored in a HDD, a mail transmission processing section notifies the computer of storage location information on the document data for accessing the data according to the set protocol. If the set protocol is changed before the storage location information is notified to the computer, a control section causes the mail transmission processing section to notify the computer of storage location information for causing the document data to be accessed using the changed protocol.
