Abstract: A scan data transmission apparatus and a scan data transmission system are configured for enabling the user to give execution commands of processing of saving a file of image data of an original in a shared folder and processing of transmitting e-mail to which the file of the image data of the original is attached at a time (specify the mail address as the mail destination and the folder to save the file at the same time).

Abstract: The system is a combination of a network device having a feature to transmit to an administration device information including the IP address of the device at power on and an administration device having a feature to automatically register the administration information concerning the network device which has transmitted the information based on the received information.

Abstract: The information processing system including an information processor and an auxiliary information processor (scan agent computer) so that, for some of the processing condition item setting screens displayed by the information processor, selectable item information is acquired from the auxiliary information processor to provide a screen displaying the contents specified by the selectable item information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a scan file generation system that permits a user to easily use a scan file generated by the system. The scan file generation system comprises a scan data generation apparatus and a scan file generation apparatus, which is operated upon the reception of a user name and image data from the scan data generation apparatus, and which includes: a function for generating a scan file, which is a file comprising the image data received from the scan data generation apparatus, and for internally storing the scan file, in correlation with the user name received from the scan data generation apparatus, so that the scan file can be employed by using a Web browser; and a function for supplying, when a user logs in using his or her user name, a user homepage whereon a link is provided to a scan file, which is internally stored in correlation with the user name.

Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus which can be operated like a digital multifunction machine having a processing condition registration function and which can be manufactured inexpensively. An information processing apparatus (a digital multifunction machine 10) capable of performing information processing whose details are specified by processing condition specification information is taken as a device capable of storing processing condition specification information about the executed information processing in a management device (a scan agent computer 50) and of reading and utilizing the processing condition specification information stored in the management device (the scan agent computer 50).

Abstract: The scan data transmitter and the scan data transmission system are designed to allow the user to issue, at a time, execution instructions on processing of storing an image data file of a manuscript into a folder and processing of transmitting an e-mail to which the image data file of the manuscript is attached, that is, to simultaneously specify the mail address as a destination of the mail and the folder into which the file is to be stored.

Abstract: The invention provides a font processing device. In font enlargement, a target font to be enlarged or reduced is divided into columns or rows, and a cost is calculated based on the pixel pattern formation for each column and row. In enlargement processing, a cost represents a line segment volume, and a column or a row that has low-cost, that is, has a pixel array close to a line segment, is difficult to be enlarged. Further, in reduction processing, a cost represents a degree of likeness to an adjacent column or row, and a column or a row that has a similar pixel pattern is reduced with priority. In practice, the column or row for the target font is decided based on the pixel formation of the target font for enlargement or reduction so that natural enlargement/reduction can be obtained. In addition, font modification is executed by using enlargement and reduction of the font.

Abstract: The invention provides a font processor that is able to display bitmap fonts used in a mobile phone, a PDA, or the like with a small amount of computation and with high quality. A font processor of the present invention can acquire predetermined data of the bitmap fonts and analyzes the pixel arrangement of the acquired font data by pattern matching. The font processor then generates subpixel fonts that have data in subpixels constituting the pixel of the font data in accordance with the pixel arrangement. A subpixel is an element constituting a pixel. A collection of three subpixels, that is, R (red), G (green), and B (blue) subpixels, generally constitutes one pixel. Analyzing the pixel arrangement and generating the subpixel fonts that are collections of data in subpixels increase the apparent resolution of the font data. Accordingly, finer lines can be drawn and jaggies occurring in diagonal lines of the font data in pixels can be reduced.
