Abstract:
There are provided an image forming apparatus that separately outputs print products to a plurality of trays and reduces problems caused by browsing and editing of data on the use of the trays, an image forming system that utilizes the image forming apparatus through a network and an image forming method. In the image forming apparatus, one of the trays is selected, the print product is output and tray information for determining a tray with a combination between an instructor and a recipient. The tray information can be browsed and edited only by the instructor, and thus the problem is reduced. A receipt information display portion that displays a list of trays to which print products are output is included to maintain the convenience of users. An image forming system using two or more image forming apparatuses is formed with a management server.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a control circuit. The apparatus control platform where the control circuit manages the hardware resources on an operating system. The standard-application executing part executes the standard application using the managed hardware resources. The extended application platform makes the function of the standard application executed use, and makes the hardware resources use, and it has a standard application service interface part that provides the common interface corresponding to the function of the standard application as an interface for using the function of the standard application. The standard function service searches presence or absence of the standard application, and when the standard application does not present, cancels use of the standard function service from the extended application.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming device includes a control circuit having (1) a device control platform managing a hardware resource on an operating system, (2) a standard application execution part executing a standard application utilizing the hardware resource under the control of the device control platform, (3) an extended application platform with a standard function service that allows for a utilization of a function of the standard application executed by the standard application execution part, and (4) an install service adding, without having to change a configuration of a standard firmware, an interface in order to cope with a function that is not available and allowing for utilization thereof.
Abstract:
Provided is an electronic device wherein a clocking part measures an adjusting operation time on an initial adjustment screen, a screen display item determination part makes a comparison between a first target value and a measuring result of the clocking part to determine a displaying number of adjusting items, and by doing so, a system control part will cause a panel part as a display part to display screens (detailed adjustment screens) of different displaying numbers of the adjusting items based on the screen display data corresponding to the displaying number of the adjusting items that has been determined by the screen display item determination part.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus that eliminates the necessity for resetting a single-sided document even if a set error of the single-sided document is occurred. The automatic document feeder includes a switchback mechanism that inverts the front and back of the single-sided document to switch a surface of the single-sided document. The automatic document feeder control circuit controls to activate the switchback mechanism. When a blank paper is detected from the image data before inversion, the automatic document feeder control circuit controls to continue the activation of the switchback mechanism for a second document and succeeding documents of the single-sided document. Otherwise, when a blank paper is not detected from the image data before inversion, the automatic document feeder control circuit controls to stop the activation of the switchback mechanism for the second document and the succeeding documents of the single-sided document.
Abstract:
An acronym-management program causes a computer to extracts an acronym from a list-updating reference for updating an acronym list; extracts, from the list-updating reference, a candidate for an expanded form corresponding to the extracted acronym; and, when the likelihood of the extracted acronym being used in the list-updating reference to refer to the extracted expanded-form candidate reaches or exceeds a specific level, increase, in the acronym list, the frequency corresponding to the acronym and the expanded form.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus having a control circuit. The control circuit includes a standard application execution circuit, an apparatus control platform, and a standard application control circuit. The standard application execution circuit has the standard application execution service that executes a standard application. The apparatus control platform includes control service, apparatus control execution service, and an apparatus control management service. The control service controls hardware on an operating system. The apparatus control execution service executes the control service with an interface that is an executing procedure of the control service. The apparatus control management service instructs a call of the control service to the apparatus control execution service. The standard application control circuit manages a state of the standard application and provides an interface for using the hardware resources of the standard application execution service.
Abstract:
Provided is the image forming apparatus, image formation method, and recording medium, which make unnecessary a change of the function in the side of a whole apparatus control platform, when the addition (extension) of the function of application is needed. Image processing service I/F, device operation service I/F, and network communication service I/F of a platform service I/F part are independent, without cooperating, respectively. Then, image processing service, device operation service, and network communication service of each part controlling service are called. That is calling a control service providing part of each part controlling service corresponding to the request from the standard application, directly, by each control service call part.
Abstract:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium has stored therein a material evaluating program. The material evaluating program includes a first program code and a second program code. The first program code causes a computer to evaluate, in units of pages included in a material, an object impression degree for each of all objects included in each of the pages, the object impression degree indicating the strength of an impression made by the object included in the page. The second program code causes the computer to display an evaluation result about the object impression degrees obtained by executing the first program code.
Abstract:
Provided is an image formation device with which expanded is easy and the development cost can be reduced. A device control platform manages hardware resource in an operating system. A standard application service interface unit provides an interface for utilizing a standard application function from outside of a standard application execution unit. A platform service interface unit provides an interface for utilizing hardware resource from the outside of the device control platform. A standard function service enables the use of the standard application functions corresponding to the standard application service interface unit. An expanded function service enables the use of the hardware resource corresponding to the platform service interface unit. An expanded application management unit manages and executes expanded applications capable of calling the standard function service and the expanded function service.
