A wireless mode between a scanner and an image communication apparatus is changed, in response to completion of image transmission from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, completion of print of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, completion of transmission via a communication line connected to the image communication apparatus of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, instructions to stop print of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, instructions to stop transmission via the communication line connected to the image communication apparatus of the image sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus, and states of the scanner and the image communication apparatus at a predetermined time and so on. For example, a low power consumption mode and communication mode of Bluetooth communication are switched to each other.

Image communication apparatus wirelessly connectable to other apparatuses, system having the image communication apparatus, and method for controlling the same

Image capture apparatus capable of communicating wirelessly and reducing power consumption, and method for controlling the same

Wireless mode between a scanner and an image communication apparatus is changed when the scanner completes read of an image, when the image is sent from the scanner to the image communication apparatus by the operation of the scanner, or depending on presence or absence of read original, and for example, low power consumption mode and communication mode are switched to each other.

Communication apparatus capable of communication with other apparatuses through wireless communication, communication system having the same communication apparatus, and method for controlling the same

A communication apparatus includes a main unit and a communication control unit. The communication control unit informs the main unit of an incoming call. The main unit makes a judgement on whether the incoming call should be accepted. In accordance with this judgement, the main unit instructs the communication control unit to respond to the incoming call. The communication control unit responds to the incoming call in accordance with the judgement by the main unit. In accordance with the state of a memory for storing received signals or with the called party number, the main unit makes a judgement on whether the incoming call should be rejected or ignored.

Communication apparatus

Even if a display unit has a display area on which an amount of information to be displayed at the same time is very small is used, confirmation and the like of the operation mode can be made easily and rapidly. After a read resolution and a read density are initialized, an operation goes to a stand-by state, and when an original is detected, a character string &ldquo;DOCUMENT READY&rdquo; is displayed on the display unit. Next, when a resolution key is depressed, a character string &ldquo;STANDARD&rdquo; as a default of the read resolution is displayed on the display unit without renewing the operation mode. Next, when the resolution key is again depressed, the operation mode is renewed and a character string &ldquo;FINE&rdquo; is displayed on the display unit. If the resolution key is again depressed thereafter, the operation mode is again renewed and a character string &ldquo;PHOTO&rdquo; is displayed on the display unit. For a read density and other operation designation inputs, operations similar to the above are performed.

Image processing apparatus and operation mode changing method therefor

A data communication apparatus includes a reserving circuit for reserving transmission of data, a communicating circuit for performing data communication, and a communication control circuit for determining transmission destinations for a plurality of data reserved by the reserving circuit and simultaneously transmitting all data destined to a given transmission destination to this destination.

Data communication apparatus having improved transmission efficiency

An image communication apparatus includes a recorder for recording image data on a page unit basis; a buffer memory for temporarily storing the image data to be recorded by the recorder; a reception unit for receiving the image data; and a controller for controlling to store the received image data or the image data to be recorded, in the buffer memory; wherein the controller selectively executes a first mode, for storing the image data to be recorded in the buffer memory or a second mode, for storing the received image data sequentially in the buffer memory.

Image communication apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit operative in a first mode for reading image data during feeding of an original and a second mode for reading the image data while the original is kept stopped at a predetermined position, a processing system for processing the image data read by the reading unit, a key input unit for inputting an instruction of additional reading in the second mode after image reading in the first mode is completed, and a CPU for controlling the reading unit so as to perform additional reading in the second mode in response to the instruction output from the key input unit and for controlling the processing system so as to perform processing in a predetermined processing condition which is the same as that of the image data read in the first mode.
