Provided is an input device comprising: a touch panel which receives an operation from a user; an external member having an external surface substantially the same as a surface of the touch panel; and a near field communication unit which is provided near the surrounding of the touch panel and inside of the external member and performs communication with an object to be detected which is brought close to a detection range, wherein a position corresponding to the near field communication unit of the external member projects from the touch panel and is inclined such that the side close to the touch panel is higher than the side distant from the touch panel.

Input device having a near-field detection substrate positioned relative to a touch panel

An image forming apparatus includes an operation portion disposed at a front side with respect to an image reading apparatus main body in a front-rear direction of the image forming apparatus, with the operation portion being positioned above the discharge tray in the vertical direction, and with the operation portion being capable of tilting. The operation portion includes a near field communication portion configured to communicate with a telecommunication device by near field communication, a touch panel configured to receive an instruction from a user via a touch operation, and a cover portion configured to cover the near field communication portion, the cover portion being provided with a mark as a target over which the telecommunication device is to be held to communicate by the near field communication.

There is provided a process analysis method capable of clustering of executed processes and extraction of similar processes. A process analysis method of the present invention converts the similarity between processes into a numeric value as a metric by including a process matrix transformand a metric calculationfor process recordsmade up of a series of records of rendered service of at least three elements of the time of service, the type of service, and the quantity of service. This enables the calculation of the similarity between processes as a metric from information of only a series of records of rendered services. Accordingly, it becomes possible to cluster the executed processes and to extract similar processes based on the metric herein calculated.

Method and system for clinical process analysis

The preset invention relates to an image forming apparatus comprising; an original loading member on which an original is loaded, image reading means for scanning the loaded original to read image information, recording material conveying unit which conveys a recording material in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the image reading means reads the image information, image forming means for forming an image on the conveyed recording material and an image forming electric board which is arranged in a space on a side of a lengthwise direction of said original relative to said recording material conveying unit.

An image forming apparatus has an apparatus main body provided with an image forming portion for forming an image, an opening formed in the apparatus main body, an openable and closable cover for opening and closing the opening, and provided with a first cover pivotably provided in the apparatus main body, and a second cover pivotably provided on the first cover, and an image reading device provided above the opening for reading the image of an original, and when the first cover is pivotably moved in a direction to open the opening relative to the apparatus main body, the second cover is pivotably moved to the opening side relative to the first cover, and when the openable and closable cover has opened the opening, the openable and closable cover maintains a state in which it has opened the opening.

Multimedia call distribution system

The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus comprising an original document conveying route, original document conveying mechanism for conveying original documents along the original document conveying route, first reading unit for reading an image on one side of the original document; and second reading unit for reading an image on the other side of the original document. The first reading unit reads an image on one side of the original document while the original document is conveyed in a forward direction at a first speed by the original document conveying mechanism, and then after the original document is conveyed in a reverse direction at a second speed, the second reading unit reads the other side of the original document while the original document is again conveyed in the forward direction. The second speed is faster than the first speed.

Image reading apparatus and image forming apparatus

A system configuration evaluation/proposal support method of supporting the effect evaluation of a support system for enhancing the business processing ability of a human and a system configuration proposal suitable to a business process, and a tool for the method are provided in the following manner. Data of a functional process model expressing a business process on a basic function element unit of information processing, a system configuration candidate constructed by a combination of an information system resource and a human resource, the degree of relationship between a functional process item and a related functional item provided by the system configuration candidate, the degree of importance of the functional process item, the degree of functional sufficiency of the provided functional item, and the degree of relationship of both items is defined. An operation for evaluating the functional support suitability of the system configuration candidate is executed by a mapping function calculation. A suitability analysis process, an analysis/evaluation result display process, and proposed system updating determination are performed.
