Abstract:
An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external apparatus, comprises: an obtainment unit that obtains information from an external apparatus; a determination unit that determines an operation mode of the information processing apparatus; and a notification unit that performs a notification based on the information obtained by the obtainment unit, wherein the notification unit, if the mode determined by the determination unit is a specific operation mode, performs the notification based on the information obtained by the obtainment unit in a second notification screen that is smaller than a first notification screen, and, if the mode determined by the determination unit is not the specific operation mode, performs the notification based on the information obtained by the obtainment unit in the first notification screen.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit, a management unit, a communication unit, a restricting unit, and a control unit. The operation unit receives an input signal based on a user input. The management unit manages a plurality of modes of the image forming apparatus. The plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode. The second mode is for remote maintenance. The communication unit transmits connection request data to a maintenance apparatus. The restricting unit restricts communication with an external apparatus. Upon receipt of the input signal, the control unit controls the management unit to shift a current mode of the image forming apparatus from the first mode to the second mode, controls the communication unit to transmit the connection request data to the maintenance apparatus, and controls the restricting unit to restrict the communication with the external apparatus.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to fax communication and more particularly to methods and systems for increasing quality and reliability of fax communications. In one embodiment, a method of communicating fax in a communication network is provided. The method includes diagnosing in real-time, by at least one network device, network parameters, availability of network resources, and technical capabilities of network devices involved in communicating fax; modifying dynamically, by the at least one network device, a fax mode to one of a set of pre-set fax modes based on result of the diagnosing the network parameters, availability of the network resources, and the technical capabilities of the network devices, wherein each of the set of pre-set fax modes corresponds to a quality of fax communication; and iteratively adapting, by the at least one network device, dynamic modification of the fax mode, based on historic fax mode modification and historic diagnosis data.
Abstract:
A function performing apparatus may include a first wireless interface and a controller. The controller may include a setting information memory configured to store setting information indicating a selected result selected by a user among a first setting and a second setting, the first setting indicating that target data is to be sent to an external apparatus via the first wireless interface, and the second setting indicating that the target data is not sent to the external apparatus. The controller is configured to maintain an operation state of the function performing apparatus in a power saving state, in a case where a predetermined notice is obtained from the first wireless interface under a situation where the operation state of the function performing apparatus is the power saving state and the setting information memory stores the setting information indicating the second setting.
Abstract:
An input-key control device is mounted on an apparatus having a plurality of operating modes and controls a plurality of input keys that receive input provided by a user. The input-key control device includes: a key-related-information storage unit that stores the operating modes and key-identifying information in association with each other, the key-identifying information being information for identifying an operable input key; an input-key identifying unit that identifies, when the operating mode is switched, an input key which has newly become operable as a result of the switching of the operating mode by comparing the key-identifying information associated with the operating mode before the switching and the key-identifying information associated with the operating mode after the switching; and a light-emission control unit that causes a lighting manner of a light-emitting element that illuminates the input key identified by the input-key identifying unit to differ.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a search request sent from an external apparatus, a search unit configured to search for a device matching a search condition included in the search request, a determination unit configured to determine an attribute of a device, and a transmission control unit configured to perform control so that information regarding the device is sent to the external apparatus as a search result in response to the search request when the device matching the search condition has a first attribute and so that the information regarding the device is not sent to the external apparatus as a search result in response to the search request when the device matching the search condition has a second attribute.
Abstract:
A storage unit temporarily stores first image data input from an input device and second image data to be output to an output device. An image-data input/output processing unit performs processes of inputting the first image data from the input device and outputting the second image data to the output device. An execution-condition determining unit determines a condition for the processes of inputting and outputting the image data, and switches processing modes between a normal processing mode and a low-speed processing mode based on a determined condition.
Abstract:
An image forming device that supports a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call function, the image forming device including an interface that communicates with external devices, the external devices including a VoIP call recipient's communication device; and a controller that converts voice data received through the interface of the image forming device into data packets, and transmits the data packets to the VoIP call recipient's communication device through the interface of the image forming device.
Abstract:
In order to allow various user setups associated with a communication using a plurality of communication channels, the number of communication channels used in a communication with a single partner is varied depending on whether or not the automatic answering mode is set. The number of communication channels used in the communication with the single partner can be independently set in correspondence with transmission and reception. The number of communication channels used in the communication with another communication partner can be independently set in correspondence with whether an incoming call or a call origination request is detected.
