In a device having a capability of using time data acquired from an external time information generator, a notification unit notifies a user of time information. The notification unit also notifies the user whether the notified time information is based on time data acquired from the external time information generator. Processing performed by the device is restricted depending on a status associated with time information. Although some types of processing are allowed when the device is in a status in which the time information is based on the time data acquired from the external time information generator, the same type of processing are disabled when the device is in any other status associated with time information.

Electronic device for holding time information and processing a job and control method thereof, device and control method thereof, information processing apparatus and display control method thereof, image forming apparatus and operation method thereof, and program and storage medium

In order to implement and manage an optimal system in the printing business and POD market, in an image forming system which comprises a plurality of devices including at least one of an image forming device which can print data in a storage unit that can store data of a plurality of jobs including data of a first job and data of a second job which is input after the data of the first job, and a sheet processing device which can execute a sheet process for a sheet printed by the image forming device, a schedule associated with a plurality of work flows including a first work flow that includes a plurality of process steps using a plurality of devices of the image forming system required to complete the first job, and a second work flow that includes a plurality of process steps using a plurality of devices of the image forming system required to complete the second job can be set.

Image forming system, method and program of controlling image forming system, and storage medium

Electronic device and control method thereof

In a multifunctional apparatus used by a plurality of users, image data entered in a variety of formats from various information sources such as a scanner, computer, facsimile machine and electronic mail is stored on a memory medium such as a hard disk in correspondence with user IDs. By operating the multifunctional apparatus storing this image data to enter a user ID, a list of image data stored in correspondence with the user ID is displayed together with information relating to the image data. Desired image data is selected from the list and is subjected to processing such as printing or deletion. Image data for which a password has been set can be processed by entering the correct password. By virtue of the processing described, handling of the entered image data is facilitated and protection of confidentiality is made possible.

Multifunctional apparatus and data processing method

There is disclosed an image recording apparatus having reader for photoelectrically reading an original and generating image information, a first transmitter for transmitting the image information from said reader, after compressing treatment, to an outside apparatus, a second transmitter for transmitting the image information from said reader without compressing treatment to an outside apparatus, and selecter for selecting either said first or second transmitters according to the destination of said image information.

Image processing apparatus

An image processing system includes an image processing apparatus having an encrypting circuit for reading an image of an original, converting the read image into an image signal, and encrypting the image signal by using data concerning encryption, a transmitting unit for transmitting the encrypted image signal to another image processing apparatus, and an image processing apparatus for receiving the encrypted, transmitted image signal and decrypting the signal by using the data concerning encryption.

Color image processing apparatus and method

An image processing system of the invention has a reader which reads out an image of an original, a page memory which stores image information of the original in the form of electric signals, a disk memory which stores part or all of the image information in the disk memory and also stores image processing information, an image processing section, a digitizer for the operator to input the image processing information, a CRT which displays input information or corrections in convesation language, a DMA controller, and a printer. The image processing system of the invention is capable of DMA transfer without the intermediacy of a CPU. Fewer addresses are required for readout of the image information from the memory, and high speed image processing is achieved.

Image processing system

An image processing apparatus decrypts encrypted image data and synchronously outputs predetermined information with the decrypted image data such that the predetermined information is not visually recognizable on an image reproduced from the decrypted image data. The apparatus outputs the decrypted image data and the synchronously output predetermined information to an image forming unit.

An image processing system has an external image processing apparatus and an image input/output apparatus. One of the apparatuses acts as a transmission-side apparatus and the other apparatus acts as a reception-side apparatus. The transmission-side apparatus transmits image data and includes a reception device for receiving an encryption instruction from an apparatus which receives image data, and an output device for encrypting the image data on the basis of the encryption instruction and outputting the encrypted data to the apparatus at a reception side. The reception-side apparatus receives image data and includes a transmitting device for transmitting the encryption instruction, and a decrypting device for decrypting the encrypted data on the basis of the encryption instruction.

Input image data and a generated background image pattern are input into a selection circuit. A determination circuit determines whether the image data exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and outputs a determination signal to the selection circuit. If the determination signal indicates that the image data exceeds the threshold value, the selection circuit selects the input image data. If the determination signal indicates that the image data does not exceed the threshold value, the selection circuit selects the background image pattern, thereby replacing areas of the image data which do not exceed the threshold value with the background image pattern.

Image processing apparatus and method thereof

A printing apparatus is disclosed which converts printing information, such as page description language, into dot data, and has an image memory 16 which stores the dot data for the purpose of reusing the dot data for printing an image or overlaying another image.

Printing apparatus

An information processing method and apparatus capable of accessing the key input or display status without the use of a master computer. Key input, display, processor, and instruction devices are coupled together to save the memory capacity in a master computer and enable high-speed operation thereof. The processor is a slave device enabling the accessing of the display and key input devices in response to actuation of the instruction device.
