Abstract: A file provision system includes a file generation apparatus and a file relay apparatus. The file generation apparatus includes first circuitry. The first circuitry provides a user terminal with device identification information identifying the file generation apparatus and access destination information indicating an access destination to the file relay apparatus. The first circuitry transmits the device identification information of the file generation apparatus to the file relay apparatus. The file relay apparatus includes second circuitry. The second circuitry receives the device identification information from the user terminal in response to an access from the user terminal. The second circuitry transmits the data file received from the file generation apparatus corresponding to the received device identification information to the user terminal as a source of the access or transfer the data file to a transfer destination designated by the user terminal as the source of the access.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus, includes one or more memories that store user information including destination information associated with one or more users, an authenticator that authenticates a login of any one of the one or more users with reference to the user information, an acquirer that acquires the destination information associated with the logged-in user, and one or more controllers that are capable of executing a transmission process with the destination information as a transmission destination when the destination information associated with the logged-in user is obtained from the user information. The one or more controllers execute, even when the destination information associated with the logged-in user is not acquired from the user information, the transmission process by accepting a setting of the transmission destination performed by the logged-in user.

Abstract: Provided is an image processing system including an image processing device and a computer. The image processing device and the computer are connected to a network. The computer has capability of performing data communication using a first communication or a second communication different from the first communication. The image processing device is configured to perform data communication in accordance with at least the first communication. The computer includes a controller configured to retrieve capability information stored in a capability information repository of the image processing device and determine whether the capability information includes second communication implementation information. When the capability information includes the second communication implementation information, the controller designates a port to perform the second communication and perform data communication using the second communication, and when the capability information does not include the second communication implementation information, the controller does not designate the port to perform the second communication.

Abstract: A server includes: a communication interface; a memory; and a controller. The memory is configured to store identification information identifying one of a printer and a user of the printer. The controller is configured to perform: a delivery process; an information acquisition process; and a granting process. The delivery process transmits delivery information to the printer via the communication interface. The printer is configured to perform printing based on the delivery information transmitted in the delivery process to output printed matter. The information acquisition process acquires quality information related to a printing quality of the printed matter. The granting process grants a reward to the one of the printer and the user of the printer identified by the identification information in accordance with the quality information acquired in the information acquisition process.

Abstract: Embodiments of a fax system with adaptive protocol selection, and methods for such a system, are disclosed herein. Embodiments of a fax system may be adapted to selectively configure the protocol (both the type of protocol or aspects of a particular protocol) used in association with the transmission or reception of a specific fax. The configuration of the protocol utilized can be based on one or more attributes associated with a sender or a destination. The fax can then be transmitted or received according to those configuration parameters.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining multiple video frames. The method also includes determining whether a bi-directional optical flow between the multiple video frames satisfies an image quality criterion for bi-directional consistency. The method further includes identifying a non-linear curve based on pixel coordinate values from at least two of the video frames. The at least two video frames include first and second video frames. The method also includes generating interpolated video frames between the first and second video frames by applying non-linear interpolation based on the non-linear curve. In addition, the method includes outputting the interpolated video frames for presentation.
