A communication terminal is for communicating with a telepresence robot via a network. The communication terminal includes a transceiver that receives a first video and a second video from the telepresence robot. The first video and the second video are captured by the telepresence robot, and the second video has a wide-angle of view. The communication terminal includes a display device that displays, on a same display screen, the first video, the second video, and an operation button to remotely control the telepresence robot. The display device displays the first video on a first display area on the same display screen, the display device displays the second video on a second display area on the same display screen, and the display device displays the operation button on an area on the same display screen other than the second display area.

Communication terminal, display method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for displaying videos captured by telepresence robot

A communication terminal is communicable with another communication terminal mounted on a mobile apparatus or with a communication device of the mobile apparatus via a network. The communication terminal transmits operation instruction information for controlling the mobile apparatus to the another communication terminal or the communication device. The communication terminal includes circuitry configured to: receive a first video transmitted by one of the another communication terminal and the communication device and a second video having a wide-angle of view captured by a wide-angle image capturing apparatus; display, on a display device, at least one of the first video and the second video that are received; and display, on the display device, a controller for controlling an operation of the mobile apparatus as being superimposed on the at least one of the first video and the second video.

When registration operation for a new place is performed, the client terminal sends registration information along with a user ID to the file management server. The file management server extracts the number of layers and the number of places from the place map information. The file management server computes a layer close to the center of the place map information from the extracted number of layers. Next, the file management server retrieves a place of which the place name is not registered. Moreover, the file management server computes and acquires the distance of the retrieved place, and registers the registration information for the new place in the place having the shortest distance.

In an image forming apparatus for forming an image, a process indication indicating an execution of a process is received from a requesting part; and the process is executed in accordance with a process instruction description specified by a instruction description identification indicated by the process instruction.

Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and information processing apparatus for conducting print instruction thereto

In a data transmission apparatus and method of the present invention, a specific operator ID for an operator who uses a data processing device to process image data to be copied or transmitted, is selected. Specific owner IDs for owners who are authorized to access the image data, are selected. User identification data, inclusive of all operator IDs and owner IDs correlated to the data processing device, are stored in a storage device each time image data is captured by the data processing device. Allocation of the stored user identification data to each of the image data is managed by reading items of the user identification data from the storage device in response to the selections of the specific operator ID and the specific owner IDs and displaying the user identification data items.

Data transmission apparatus and method for management of user identification data allocated to image data

In a filing system, a data processing apparatus is connected to a file server via a transmission path. Image data of a document is captured into the data processing apparatus. The captured image data is stored onto an image storage medium. A plurality of owner identifications are acquired when the image data is captured. The owner identifications are correlated with the image data stored on the image storage medium, and the stored image data is allowed to be accessed when any of the owner identifications correlated with the image data is verified. The image data is output in a readable manner by retrieving the stored image data of the image storage medium when the access to the image data is allowed.

Filing system which provides increased availability of image data stored therein

An image reading apparatus includes a reading part reading original, a time measuring part being able to measure different times selectively, and a defining part determining separation of sheets of the original read by the reading part. The time measuring part selects a time to be measured according to a predetermined condition, and the defining part determines the separation of sheets of the original when the selected time has elapsed without an operation concerning a subsequent reading operation being performed after a reading operation of the reading part is stopped.
