In a mobile terminal apparatus, a user identifying unit (a) extracts a printed matter image of a printed matter in a photo image taken by an imaging device, (b) transmits to an image forming apparatus a user inquiry with the printed matter image, (c) receives a response to the user inquiry from the image forming apparatus, and (d) displays the photo image on a display device and displays the user name indicated by the response so as to accompany the printed matter image in the displayed photo image. In the image forming apparatus, a printed matter history managing unit determines a document image that agrees with a printed matter image on the basis of a printed matter history upon receiving the user inquiry and the printed matter image, and transmits as the response a user name of a user associated with the determined document image.

Image forming system, non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing user identifying program, and image forming apparatus

This image processing apparatus includes a first determination section, a first control section, a second determination section, and a second control section. If the first determination section determines that there are images whose outer shapes are not rectangular, the first control section performs control operations to connect edges of the images to combine the images. The second determination section determines whether the outer shape of the combined image, which is made of the images combined by the first control section, is rectangular or whether the combined image is bilaterally symmetric with respect to a predetermined line passing through the center of the combined image. If the second determination section determines that the outer shape of the combined image is rectangular or that the combined image is bilaterally symmetric, the second control unit performs control operations to produce a composite image of the images with the edges connected to each other.

Image processing apparatus and processing method for combining multiple images with accuracy verification thereof

To provide a sleep mode control system restricting power consumption while an image forming apparatus (ifma) is in a sleep mode (slm) and allowing a user to deactivate the sleep mode without impairing his/her convenience. The sleep mode control system includes the imf entering the slm to reduce power consumption and a power generator provided below a passage floor on which the imf is mounted. The power generator has a power generation unit, when stepped, provides a private power generation and an electromotive force detection unit detecting an electromotive force generated at the power generation unit successively, generating a pulse signal using the resulting electromotive force, and outputting the resulting pulse signal successively. The ifma has a sleep control part deactivating the slm, while the ifma is being in the slm, based on a signal pattern of the pulse signal outputted from the electromotive force detection unit.

Sleep mode control system to reduce power consumption and to provide a private power generation

An image forming apparatus includes a document reading unit, an image forming unit, an image data saving unit, a correction instruction detection unit, an image correction unit, and a controller. The document reading unit reads an image on a source document and acquires image data. The image forming unit prints an image on a recording sheet according to the image data. The image data saving unit saves the image data of image printed by the image forming unit on the recording sheet. The correction instruction detection unit detects the correction instruction written on the recording sheet on which the image is printed. The image correction unit corrects the image data stored in the image data saving unit, according to the correction instruction detected by the detection unit. The controller causes the image forming unit to print an image representing the image data corrected by the image correction unit.

Image forming apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes a camera, a document sheet image determining portion, an operation determining portion, and an image processing portion. The document sheet image determining portion determines whether or not document sheet image data is contained in photographic image data that has been obtained by photographing with the camera installed on the image processing apparatus. The operation determining portion determines whether or not operation image data is contained in the photographic image data, the operation image data showing a pattern of user's hand and corresponding to an operation for processing the document sheet image data. The image processing portion executes the processing of the document sheet image data based on the operation corresponding to the operation image data when it is determined that the document sheet image data and the operation image data are contained in the photographic image data.
