  • Publication number: 20170086710
    Abstract: An apparatus is attached to one portion of a user's body for use, and has a detection unit that detects information corresponding to motion of the user. The apparatus measures an activity amount of the user based on information detected by the detection unit and, if multiple apparatuses are attached to the user's body, transmits information to an activity identification unit that identifies an activity being performed by the user based on information detected by the detection units of the attached activity amount measuring apparatuses and information indicating the attachment portions of the attached activity amount measuring apparatuses. The transmitted information is information that is detected by the detection unit and associated with the information indicating the identified attachment portion. The activity amount is corrected based on the activity that is identified.

  • Patent number: 8332958
    Abstract: A Multi-Function peripheral (MFP), a server apparatus, and a client apparatus for generating image output data from document data and transmitting the image output data to the server apparatus are each connected to a network. In the server apparatus, an output data management unit stores the received image output data in an output data storage unit. Upon receiving user authentication information that is input with a user operation on the MFP, the server apparatus determines whether the user authentication information is valid. When the user authentication information is determined to be valid, the server apparatus transmits to the MFP one or more among the stored image output data associated with the user authentication information.
