When a camera server receives an instruction involving invalidation of viewing limitation (masking processing) of video from a privileged client, the camera server limits viewing of video data with respect to a general client and a recording client. The camera server stores the video data of a limited period in a secondary storage device. When the camera server receives an instruction involving validation of the viewing limitation from the privileged client, the camera server transmits the stored video data of the limiting period to the recording client.

An X-ray image diagnosis apparatus which can accept operations from a plurality of operation panels can ensure convenience for operators while avoiding the risk of excessively exposing an object to X-rays. This invention is a control method in an X-ray image diagnosis apparatus which irradiates an object with X-rays and processes a captured image obtained by imaging the object. This method includes the steps of receiving information associated with an imaging condition at the time of X-ray irradiation which is input via an operation panel, discriminating, when the information associated with the imaging condition is received, an operation panel from which the information associated with the imaging condition has been input, and restricting, when the information associated with the imaging condition is received, the reception of a specific instruction input via an operation panel other than the discriminated operation panel.

X-ray image diagnosis apparatus and control method

Mobile nodes are allowed to move around within an intermittent communication environment. A mobile node wirelessly communicates with an access node when approaching the access node, and stores data. The access node stores an action history for each mobile node, and generates a forwarder list in association with a destination node, based on action histories of the mobile nodes. The forwarder list stores one or more identifies each identifying a first mobile node in the order of an arrival probability indicating a probability that the first mobile node succeeds in delivering the data to the destination node. The access node selects second mobile nodes that are to carry the data to the destination node, based on the forwarder list, and transfers the data to one of the second mobile nodes when a communication link is established between the access node and the one of the second mobile nodes.

System and method for delivering data in an intermittent communication environment

An image capturing apparatus is separably connected to a display device. The display device has a remote power supply control function of activating or deactivating the image capturing apparatus via a circuit. The image capturing apparatus activates the image capturing apparatus when a power supply button arranged on the image capturing apparatus is operated by the user, causes the display device to activate the power supply by remote control, causes the display device to deactivate the image capturing apparatus by remote control, and switches between inhibiting power supply deactivation and permitting power supply deactivation depending on whether the power supply is activated by a direct power supply activation unit or by a remote power supply activation unit.

When a switch is not pressed, fetched image data for one frame undergoes an MPEG compression process, and the compressed image data is temporarily stored in a buffer. When the switch is pressed, fetched image data for one frame undergoes a JPEG compression process, and image data for the next and subsequent frames undergo an MPEG compression process and are additionally stored at the end position of the buffer. If a timer has reached a time-out, a JPEG file is generated based on JPEG-compressed data, and an MPEG file is generated based on MPEG-compressed data for a plurality of frames stored in the buffer.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, program, and storage medium

A method for processing images comprises the steps of performing the reception of data through the net work, inputting image data obtainable in accordance with the designated input mode, managing the storage of the data received in the receiving step and the image data inputted in the input step to the memory, and intervening between the operations of the reception step and the input step in accordance with the storage management in the controlling step. With the method thus structured, the compression ratio of the input image is heightened by changing the current photographing mode if the added value of the estimated reception data through communicating means and the data side of photographed image predetermined by the current photographing mode should exceed the remainders of memory in the storage, hence making it possible to implement the compatibility of immediacy between the image input and the communication by dealing with any sudden reception during photographing.

An object of this invention is to process image data in which a plurality of link destinations are set in one region. Another object of this invention is to allow the user intuitively to recognize the setup states of links, since link regions have different display patterns in correspondence with the numbers of link destinations upon displaying the link regions. If the designated link region has only one link destination, a dotted circle (for example) is displayed on the link region (S). If the designated link region has two link destinations, a solid circle (for example) is displayed (step S). If the designated link region has three or more link destinations, a double circle (for example) is displayed (step S). Again, if the designated link region has only one link destination, an image at the link destination is set as display data (S), while if the designated link region has a plurality of link destinations, all the link destinations may be displayed in a list (S). An image at a link destination selected by the operator from the list is set as display data (S).

Image processing apparatus, its control method, and storage medium

There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method which are capable of inserting in real time a desired image into a desired portion of a desired created frame image or a desired previously captured image to enable an operator to synthesize the images with a simple operation without using a personal computer, and a storage medium storing a program for executing the image processing method. An image of an object obtained by photographing the object is input in real time as digital object image data. Frame image data comprising characters and graphics is created. At least one area of the created frame image where the input object image data is to be inserted is designated. The created frame image data is displayed, and the input object image data is inserted into the designated area of the displayed frame image and the designated area with the input object image data inserted therein is displayed. The inserted and displayed object image data is established.
