Patent number: 10754284Abstract: A control apparatus includes a processor and a memory to control a system having an image forming apparatus and a sheet discharge apparatus. Executing a memory store program causes the control apparatus to receive configuration information of the system and generate a system configuration image, receive stacking state information and generate a sheet bundle image, display a screen, receive job identification information of an image forming job of sheets to be picked up, and display a thumbnail image. The stacking state information includes a stacking amount of sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray. The sheet bundle image represents the sheets stacked on a sheet stacking tray based on the stacking state information. The system configuration image and the sheet bundle image are combined in the screen. The thumbnail image is based on receiving the job identification information.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toru Shinnae, Jerome Guermont, Nobuaki Miyahara, Ryo Fujita, Yoshitaka Oba

Patent number: 10740425Abstract: A content administration system receives user identification information from a terminal device via the Internet. The content administration system then specifies content administration information storage means corresponding to the received user identification information. The content administration system acquires object path information correlated to sharing permission information from a content administration information storage means of another unspecified user. The content administration system then acquires an icon image from the icon image storage means. The content administration system then makes display control information for the content administration screen containing the icon leading to the object based on the acquired icon image and the acquired object path information. The content administration system transmits the made display control information to the terminal device via the Internet.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takeshi Fujita, Mayuko Hattori, Shuji Masumoto, Tsutomu Kawachi

Patent number: 10708210Abstract: A server maintains a multi-user gallery of ephemeral messages. Ephemeral messages are posted to the gallery by multiple different users for online viewing via a single, common gallery. In response to a gallery view request from any recipient device, the ephemeral messages in the multi-user are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable, for viewing upon request, at expiry of a respective corresponding message availability parameter. An account administration interface is provided to enable multiple users to post to the multi-user gallery as a single organizational or celebrity account.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Allen, Donald Giovannini, Chia-Yi Lin, Robert Murphy, Evan Spiegel
