A network device includes a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions therein, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the network device to perform: storing a first mail address and a second mail address; generating a first email to be addressed to the first mail address and a second email to be addressed to the second mail address, the first email having a first body including a URL, the second email having a second body including the URL; detecting a specific failure occurring in the network device; transmitting the first email to the first mail address and the second email to the second mail address when the specific failure is detected.

Information transmission system

An image processing device may comprising a USB I/F and a control device. The USB I/F may be configured to receive USB data packets transmitted by a data processing device. The USB I/F may be configured to cause a specific buffer corresponding to one USB endpoint for reception to store content data included in the received USB data packets. The control device may be configured to: execute one or more processing on the basis of an HTTP command; execute image processing on the basis of a particular command other than the HTTP command; and execute content data allocation processing. The content data allocation processing may include: causing content data including the HTTP command to be processed in the execution of the one or more processing; and causing content data including the particular command to be processed in the execution of the image processing.

Image processing device and computer-readable storage medium for use in connection with USB data packets

In a printer connected to a network, email appended with link information is prepared for enabling an administrator to access information about the printer network terminal. The email is transmitted to the administrator terminal at a predetermined timing. Then, the administrator terminal accesses the information based on the link information appended to the email. As such, when a problem occurs in the printer, operations for resolving the problem can be quickly undertaken by the administrator.

An electronic device including an external-memory-medium installing portion in which an external memory medium storing contents data, a display portion for displaying the contents data, a sound generating portion for generating a sound, a power-shut-down-requirement receiving portion for receiving a requirement for shutting-down a power supply to the electronic device, a monitoring portion for determining whether the external memory medium is installed in the external-memory-medium installing portion, a sound-generation commanding portion for commanding command the sound generating portion to generate an alarming sound when the monitoring portion has determined that the external memory medium is not installed in the external-memory-medium installing portion while the contents data are displayed, and a power supply control portion for inhibiting an operation to shut down the power supply to the electronic device when the power-shut-down-requirement receiving portion has received the requirement for shutting down the power supply while the contents data are displayed.

Electronic device, and method of controlling the electronic device

An image processing apparatus includes an image reading unit that reads an image, the image comprising an image printed on a printing sheet, and a first demarcation line added by a writing tool and demarcating a region of the image, a demarcation line extracting unit that extracts the first demarcation line from the image read by the image reading unit, and an image extracting unit that extracts the region of the image demarcated by the first demarcation line from the image as an extracted image.

Image processing apparatus and printing apparatus

In a communication system, a mail server and a plurality of electronic devices, which are connected with a network, are provided. A predetermined e-mail address is assigned to the plurality of electronic devices. Each of the plurality of electronic devices includes a first determination system that determines whether an e-mail address of an e-mail message transmitted to the mail server coincides with the predetermined e-mail address, a second determination system that determines, whether the e-mail message addressed to the predetermined e-mail address is directed to the electronic device to which the second determination system belongs in accordance with contents of the e-mail message addressed to the predetermined e-mail address, and a processing system that executes a procedure corresponding to the e-mail message when the second determination system determines that the e-mail message is directed to the electronic device to which the second determination system belongs.

Communication system having common e-mail address for plurality of devices

A data analysis provider system includes a client device and a data analysis provider both capable of two-way transmission. The client device transmits either target-of-analysis data or information relating to the target-of-analysis data to the data analysis provider. Additionally, the client device notifies the data analysis provider of a desired process to be performed on the target-of-analysis data. The data analysis provider receives the target-of-analysis data or information relating to the target-of-analysis data transmitted from the client device and confirms the desired process. Then, the data analysis provider prepares response data that enables the client device to perform the desired process and transmits the response data to the client device. The client device receives the response data from the data analysis provider.

Data analysis provider system

A network system is disclosed, including a plurality of network terminals connected to a network; and an administrator terminal that manages the network terminals across the network. One of the network terminals includes a command receiver that receives a command from the administrator terminal over the network, and a command transmitter that transits the command received by the command receiver to another of the plurality of network terminals. When the administrator terminal is allowed to communicate with only particular terminals, the network system allows the administrator terminal to transmit a command to terminals other than the particular terminals indirectly. Therefore, the network system enjoys enhanced advantages.

Network system that connects a network terminal to another network terminal having a different protocol

A facsimile deviceserving as a transmission device of the present invention has a maintenance information base (MIB)storing address data. When the facsimile devicereceives a SNMP-based packet including a GET command, the address data is retrieved and transmitted to an external device. When the facsimile devicereceives a SNMP-based packet including a SET command, address data included in the packet is retrieved and registered into the MIB

Transmission device enabling external device to edit address data registered in the transmission device

A multifunction peripheral includes a control portion, a LAN interface portion, and web servers. The web server manages information about components in the control portion, the user I/F portion, the printer, and the scanner. The web server manages information about components in the LAN interface portion. The web servers are configured for mutual transmission. The web server is connected to a LAN through a network control portion. When information that is managed by the web server is requested from a terminal that is connected to the LAN, then the web server functions as a proxy server to transfer the requested input from the LAN to the web server and to transmit information transferred from the web server to the requestor.

Network terminal with a plurality of internal web servers

A wireless communication system includes a terminal device that transmits a wireless signal and an electronic device that receives the wireless signal transmitted by the terminal device. The terminal device is provided with an encrypting system that encrypts data to be transmitted, a first communication system that transmits deciphering data to the electronic device with a wireless signal having a directivity, and a second communication system that transmits the encrypted data to the electronic device with a wireless signal which does not have the directivity. Further, the electronic device is provided with a third communication system that receives the wireless signal transmitted by the transmitting system of the terminal device, and a decoding system that decodes the encrypted data that is received through the third communication system using the deciphering data that is received through the third communication system.
