20080198394 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A print-information acquiring unit acquires print object information as an image and predetermined information to be encoded. A code-image creating unit encodes the predetermined information according to a predetermined encode rule to create a plurality of types of code images. A layer-image creating unit creates a plurality of types of layer images including the code images for each of the types. A combined-image creating unit superimposes the types of layer images according to a predetermined superimposition rule to create a combined image. A printing unit prints the combined image created by the combined-image creating unit on a recording medium. | 08-21-2008 |
20080198405 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - In a printing operation, a first MFP prints a code image of a paper ID, and stores paper information including information specifying an electronic document as a print source with the paper ID. In a copying operation in a second MFP, the second MFP acquires the paper ID from the code image and paper information through a network, specifies an electronic document using the paper information, and acquires the specified electronic document through the network. The second MFP prints the code image of the paper ID and the acquired electronic document, and stores paper information including the paper ID of a copy source with the paper ID. | 08-21-2008 |
20080225334 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - In printing an electronic document on a paper, an MFP prints a code image created by encoding a paper ID including a local ID issued to the paper and stores paper information with the paper ID. The MFP determines a type of data format, creates a paper ID in the data format, and prints a code image created by encoding the paper ID. In copying a printed paper, the MFP decodes the code image printed on the paper to acquire the paper ID and retrieves paper information associated with the paper ID according to the data format. The MFP specifies the electronic document as a print source from retrieved paper information and performs printing using the electronic document. | 09-18-2008 |
20110026081 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a generating unit and a superimposing unit. The generating unit generates an image carrier representing a machine-readable image pattern by using information to be embedded into a first image. The superimposing unit makes a second image translucent, the second image being an image of the image carrier, and superimposes the second image onto the first image in such a manner that the second image can be mechanically read and the first image can be read by a user. | 02-03-2011 |
20110246644 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF LOG MANAGEMENT, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING LOG MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - An apparatus to manage transmission of log data generated by a transmission terminal from the transmission terminal to a log management device obtains detection result data indicating whether a predetermined event is detected at the log management device, determines whether the log data is to be transmitted from the transmission terminal to the log management device based on the detection result data to generate a determination result, and transmits the transmission approval data having the determination result to the transmission terminal to cause the transmission terminal to process the log data according to the determination result of the transmission approval data. | 10-06-2011 |
20120221715 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF PROCESSING LOG DATA, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING LOG DATA PROCESSING PROGRAM - An management system stores information including communication state data indicating a communication state of a terminal as raw log data, and applies format processing to the raw log data to generate formatted log data before a request for obtaining communications log information of the terminal is received. When the request is received, the management system searches the formatted log data to obtain formatted log data that matches the request. | 08-30-2012 |
20140045455 | CHARGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CHARGE MANAGEMENT METHOD, PROGRAM, PROGRAM PROVIDING SYSTEM, AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM - A charge management system includes a user managing unit configured to manage pieces of user identification information for identifying users and pieces of terminal identification information for identifying transmission terminals, each piece of user identification information being associated with pieces of terminal identification information for identifying transmission terminals used by a user identified by the each piece of identification information; and a calculating unit configured to calculate a participation charge to each of the transmission terminals, bases on a total participation duration in which the each of the transmission terminals has participated in a conversation during a predetermined period, and calculate a total participation charge to each of the users by summing up the participation charges to transmission terminals specified by the pieces of terminal identification information associated with the each piece of the user identification information. | 02-13-2014 |
20140233433 | TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, PARTICIPATION FEE MANAGEMENT METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND MAINTENANCE SYSTEM - A transmission system includes: a transmission management system and a fee management system. The transmission management system manages participation time information using a given transmission terminal. The fee management system manages participation fee information. The transmission management system includes a transmission unit that transmits the participation time information to the fee management system. The fee management system includes: a user management unit that manages user identification information and terminal identification information in a manner linked; a reception unit that receives the participation time information transmitted from the transmission management system; a participation time calculation unit that calculates a total participation time of conversation; a participation fee calculation unit that calculates a participation fee; and a participation fee summing unit that refers to the user management unit, sums up participation fees of each transmission terminal, and calculates a total participation fee for each user. | 08-21-2014 |
20140258548 | PLAYBACK CONTROL DEVICE, PLAYBACK CONTROL SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A playback control device includes an identification part configured to identify one of communication terminals based on identification data associated with a request to play session data including at least one of image data and sound data; a first acquisition part configured to acquire session data which has been communicated in a session in which the communication terminals have joined; a second acquisition part configured to acquire, in response to the identification data, time data representing at least a time period in which the identified communication terminal had joined the session; and a control part configured to, in response to the time data, allow playing of the session data for the time period in which the identified communication terminal had joined the session and disallow playing of the session data for the time period in which the identified communication terminal had not joined the session. | 09-11-2014 |
