Abstract: A print processing device including a printing unit to print an image on a sheet, a reading unit to read a sheet, an operation unit including keys to be operated by a user, a print control unit to cause the printing unit to print either a first sheet for selecting an image from a plurality of images stored in a storage medium or a second sheet for selecting a language to be used in the first sheet, and an analyzing unit configured to analyze an image read by the reading unit. If a language is not registered, when the image corresponding to the second sheet is detected as an analysis result by the analyzing unit, the first sheet is printed using a language associated with the detected image and when the image corresponding to the second sheet is not detected, the second sheet is printed.

Abstract: An image combining apparatus and a control method for an image combining apparatus that allows a user to write a handwritten image on a writing sheet while confirming the positional relationship between the handwritten image and a photograph to be combined. When a writing sheet having a handwriting area in which a user writes the handwritten image to be combined with a photograph is printed, a reference image generated on the basis of the photograph is printed in the handwriting area.

Abstract: A wireless mode between a scanner and an image communication apparatus is changed, in response to completion of image transmission from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, completion of print of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, completion of transmission via a communication line connected to the image communication apparatus of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, instructions to stop print of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, instructions to stop transmission via the communication line connected to the image communication apparatus of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, and states of the scanner and the image communication apparatus at a predetermined time and so on. For example, a low power consumption mode and communication mode of Bluetooth communication are switched to each other.

Abstract: A communication terminal includes a resource transfer button for transferring URL information of an Internet resource to another party with which IP phone conversation has been established so as to allow the browser of the communication terminal of the other party to browse the Internet resource. The URL information of an Internet resource is registered to a one-touch key. Registering the selection information of the communication terminal of the other party and the URL information of an Internet resource enables the URL information thereof to be transferred to the communication terminal of the other party with which the phone conversation has been established immediately following calling the other party by pressing the one-touch key, so as to allow the browser of the communication terminal of the other party to browse the Internet resource. Thus, both the calling and receiving parties can browse the same Internet resource with the respective terminals.

Abstract: A communication apparatus which performs IP communication and analog communication through an ADSL gateway obtains an IP address of a party station from an SIP proxy and transmits/receives communication data with the party station on an IP network based on a file transmission/reception protocol such as FTP or HTTP when a party station's telephone number corresponds to a VoIP network. The apparatus performs analog facsimile communication on a line switching network when the party station does not correspond to the VoIP network. Moreover, the apparatus performs the analog facsimile communication on the VoIP network or the line switching network when the party station corresponds to the VoIP network but does not have any digital communication means. Thus, in the apparatus corresponding to analog and network communication paths, it is possible to select an appropriate communication path and achieve high-speed and high-reliability communication without any complicated operation.

Abstract: In an image sensing device in which a hinge mechanism is secured to the side face of the main body of the image sensing device and an image display unit for displaying a captured image is mounted by the hinge mechanism so as to be free to rotate, a light-emitting device for emitting light toward a subject is accommodated inside the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: Wireless mode between a scanner and an image communication apparatus is changed when the scanner completes read of an image, when the image is sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus by the operation of the scanner, or depending on presence or absence of read original, and for example, low power consumption mode and communication mode are switched to each other.

Abstract: It is an object to provide image processing apparatus and method which can execute a drawing combining instruction and a trimming instruction of illustration/characters or the like on the basis of a disclosure on one sheet in a composite print of a sheet scanning system. When a trimming instruction command is issued, an image process for trimming is executed to a given one of closed areas detected from a drawing instructing area on the sheet. Another image process for a combining process of characters/illustration is executed to the other closed areas.

Abstract: There is provided a communication apparatus that can reduce the labor and time required to notify others of a change in a user's e-mail address and can lessen the burden on a recipient of e-mail of rewriting a telephone directory list. On a sender terminal side, only information on e-mail addresses is extracted from a telephone directory list and is copied to a temporary storage buffer. E-mail is automatically generated based on a format conforming to notification contents selected by the user and is transmitted to the e-mail addresses that have been copied into the temporary storage buffer. On a recipient terminal side, a title of the received e-mail is analyzed and when the e-mail is determined to relate to a telephone number notification, a character string required for the telephone number is obtained from the e-mail contents and this telephone number information is reflected in the telephone directory list.

Abstract: In an image sensing device in which a hinge mechanism is secured to the side face of the main body of the image sensing device and an image display unit for displaying a captured image is mounted by the hinge mechanism so as to be free to rotate, a light-emitting device for emitting light toward a subject is accommodated inside the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: The invention is to enable a secure sharing of an internet resource with a partner in conversation by the IP telephone, in simple and inexpensive manner and not requiring cumbersome operations, by a communication terminal only, not relying on another equipment. Internet resource sharing means is provided for a shared utilization of a same internet resource (WEB data, FTP file etc.) among the communication terminals (200, 220) in conversation. The sharing of the internet resource is executed by transmitting/receiving URL information of the desired internet resource by FTP or by an E-mail protocol, or by transmitting/receiving the internet resource itself by an HTTP proxy procedure with the partner communication terminal, in which either of the communication terminal and the partner terminal functions as an HTTP proxy server and the other functions as an HTTP client.

Abstract: The invention manages image data by an original image file including high-resolution image data stored in a specified storage location on a server or a client terminal, a shortcut image file including an address tag indicating the storage location of the original image file and low-resolution image data representing a summary of the high-resolution image data of the original image file. For utilizing the high-resolution image data, the original image file is acquired based on the address tag included in the shortcut image file. Also depending on whether the acquisition is possible or not, for example if the original image file cannot be acquired, the low-resolution image data contained in the shortcut image file are acquired as a substitute.
