Abstract:
Data is input to a printing device such as a multifunction printer. The data is converted to text data if required. An embedded database driver in the printing device converts the data to a format that is compatible with the database.
Abstract:
An image communication apparatus comprises an email receiving unit for receiving an email; facsimile-forwarding unit for facsimile-forwarding the email received by the email receiving unit; a forwarding-size-upper-limit setting unit for setting a predetermined forwarding size upper limit; and a facsimile-forward limiting unit for limiting the facsimile-forwarding when the forwarding size to be facsimile-forwarded by the facsimile-forwarding unit exceeds the forwarding size upper limit set by the forwarding-upper-limit-size setting unit.
Abstract:
Device and method for managing a snap shot in a USB camera, the device including a camera for taking, and digitizing an image, and providing the image through an end point exclusive for an image, an interface unit for inserting either a frame sync pattern between frames of image data provided through an end point exclusive for an image or a snap shot sync pattern instead of the frame sync pattern in a snap shot mode, and a USB host for displaying an image data provided from the interface unit on a monitor in the USB host or forwarding for a picture communication, the method including the steps of (1) determining turning on/off of a snap shot button on the camera, (2) according to a result of the determination, either inserting a frame sync pattern between frames of image data and providing to the USB host, or inserting a snap shot sync pattern instead of the frame sync pattern and providing to the USB host, and (3) either displaying an image data having the frame sync pattern or the snap shot sync pattern inserted thereto on a monitor or transmitting the image data to other external USB host, whereby improving a USB performance since the end point exclusive for an image can be used for other purposes, and reducing a number of pins and simplifying a system of the driver in view of the position of the host, in a case when the end point exclusive for snap shot is not used for other purpose.
Abstract:
When received mail contains divided data, the divided data is stored in a RAM until it accumulates a predetermined amount. Then, the predetermined amount of divided mail data is combined to restore the undivided original data file for printing. Accordingly, the original image can be readily restored even from mail data which has been received as a plurality of pieces of mail.

Abstract:
A method of transmitting data bits over a modem connection. The method includes receiving a first stream of data bits, by a first modem, performing a first set of one or more communication tasks on the first stream of bits, by the first modem, so as to generate a second stream of bits, modulating the second stream of bits, by the first modem, so as to form a modulated signal, transmitting the modulated signal from the first modem to a second modem, demodulating the modulated signal by the second modem, so as to form a third stream of bits, performing on the third stream of bits, a second set of zero or more communication tasks, including a different number of tasks than the first set of tasks, so as to form a fourth stream of bits, and transmitting the fourth stream of bits to a communication unit over a packet based network.
Abstract:
A method of performing a negotiation session on a modem connection. The method includes receiving a plurality of negotiation signals from the source modem, by a first gateway, forwarding at least some of the received negotiation signals from the first gateway to a second gateway, over a packet based network, receiving, by the first gateway, responses to the forwarded negotiation signals from the second gateway, forwarding the responses from the second gateway to the source modem, by the first gateway, and transmitting from the first gateway to the source modem, response signals to at least some of the received negotiation signals, without receiving a response to the at least some of the signals from the second gateway.
Abstract:
IP network communication device which allows facsimile communication conforming to ITU-T recommendation V.34 in the network conforming to ITU-T recommendation T.38. This IP network communication device comprises a call controller for setting the call connection of a voice channel with another communication device, a voice controller which generates packets from voice data and facsimile data, sends the packets to the other communication device, and restores voice data or facsimile data from the packets received from the other communication device, and a digital signal processor which mediates the communication of voice data and facsimile data between an accommodated terminal and the voice controller. The digital signal processor turns ON the facsimile tone detecting function, echo canceling function, and fluctuation absorption buffer function if voice data is communicated, and turns these functions OFF if facsimile data is communicated.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a document across a network from a transmitting device to a receiving device reconstructs the document and stores the reconstructed document in a buffer. Specifically, the document is received from a packet based portion of the network as data packets. Data lines that comprise the document then are reconstructed from the received document data packets. The reconstructed data lines then are stored in the buffer, and retrieved at a substantially constant rate from the buffer as necessary. The reconstructed data lines then are transmitted to the receiving device across the network at about the substantially constant rate. The document then is transmitted from the transmitting device at the substantially constant rate.
