A communication terminal or system is provided with a processor that calculates a transmission data size that is suitable to a detected state of a network, and analyzes contents of image data for transmission to determine an image parameter that should be prioritized. The communication terminal or system encodes the image data for transmission into encoded image data, based on the calculated transmission data size and the image parameter that should be prioritized.

Apparatus, system, and method of transmitting encoded image data, and recording medium storing control program

Management of a process having a kernel mode and a user mode and executed on an operation system is performed by receiving a request for moving to a user system mode from a user process, and changing the user process into a kernel mode in response to the request.

Process management method and image forming apparatus

The information processing apparatus reserves a direct mapping region in the physical memory space and correlates physical addresses of the direct mapping region in the physical memory space with the virtual addresses of the virtual memory region in the virtual memory space of a process. Accordingly, the number of exception errors caused by the address translating unit is reduced, and the overhead on memory accesses is reduced.
