A rendering data processing apparatus comprises: a determination unit configured to determine objects of a bitmap pattern in rendering data; a specification unit configured to specify an object, for which a bitmap rendering command can be replaced with a graphic rendering command, among the determined objects of the bitmap pattern; a replacement unit configured to replace the bitmap rendering command for the object specified by the specification unit with the graphic rendering command; and a combination unit configured, in a case where a plurality of patterns designated by a plurality of graphic rendering commands replaced by the replacement unit are arranged adjacent to each other and rendered, to combine the plurality of graphic rendering commands corresponding to the plurality of patterns with each other.

An image scanner is provided with a super-resolution processing function for generating a high-resolution image using multiple pieces of low-resolution image data. The scanner device then measures an initial MTF value without performing the super-resolution processing, refers to an MTF properties table in which is registered a number of pieces of low-resolution image data for a scanner device of that type to achieve a pre-set target MTF, and registers the number of images that corresponds to the initial MTF value in the scanner, if that number is present, and registers an interpolated value if that number is not present. The image scanner then performs the super-resolution processing using the registered number of pieces of low-resolution image data, and outputs image data of a target resolution.

Managing modulation transfer function values for image data

An image forming system includes an image transmitting apparatus which transmits generated image data to a designated transmission destination, and an image receiving apparatus which executes processing for the received image data. The image transmitting apparatus includes a designation unit which accepts designation of an image receiving apparatus serving as a transmission destination, and designation of a transmission mode which specifies the contents of processing in the image receiving apparatus, an acquisition unit which acquires transmission destination information representing the operating state of the image receiving apparatus by communication with the image receiving apparatus, a generation unit which generates image data to be processed in the image receiving apparatus on the basis of the designated transmission mode and acquired transmission destination information, and a transmitting unit which transmits the transmission mode and image data to the image receiving apparatus.

When an unregistered PC cardnot having an access level registration is mounted in a PC card reader part, a user interface requesting an access level setting to the user is executed through an operation unitor a display part(or a local host). Also when a PC card, having registration as to whether or not to transmit the mounting and on a destination of notice of the mounting, is mounted in the PC card reader part, a PC card mounting notice message is transmitted to a destination according to such registered information. With this configuration, there is provided an access control comprehensively usable to the PC cards of various types, capable of activating an access control user interface at the PC card mounting and transmitting a PC card mounting to host/user.

A communication apparatus capable of communicating with a server connected to the apparatus via a network. When a mail message is received from a POPserver, it is determined whether or not an error exits in the mail message. If it is determined that an error exits, unique ID of the mail message is registered. If a number of a mail message having the same unique ID as the registered unique ID is received, reception of the mail message is rejected.
