A character recognition device includes a recognizer that recognizes at least one character string from an image including a trailer captured by an imaging device, and a selector. The selector selects character strings conforming to a specified notation format among the character strings recognized by the recognizer as candidates of a trailer ID/container ID, and that selects one of the candidates of the trailer ID/container ID, which has a similarity to master data of a previously held trailer ID/container ID equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value as the trailer ID/container ID.

An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information from an external apparatus that stores data; and a switching unit that, for each item of the data, switches between a first mode in which the acquisition unit acquires attribute information of the data from the external apparatus, and a second mode in which the acquisition unit acquires, from the external apparatus, information for displaying an image that indicates a feature of the data.

Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium for switching between an attribute information mode and an image information mode

There is provided a print control program causing a computer to function as the following units. A setting unit performs a setting such that sorting is performed according to an output direction set for each print attribute when the sorting is performed according to a first method of sorting output materials according to the output direction among a plurality of types of sorting methods in a printing device. A generating unit generates content of a print instruction so that the output materials are output from the printing device according to the sorting method set by the setting unit.

Information processing apparatus, printing system, print control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

There is provided a printing control device. A setting unit sets a sorting priority mode that causes a printing device to perform printing using a recording sheet in which the difference from the recording sheet size designated by a current print job mounted on the printing device is within a predetermined range, in a case where a recording sheet with a same size as the recording sheet designated by the current print job is not mounted on the printing device, and a recording sheet which has a recording sheet size that is printable without reducing the printing range, and for which the difference from the size of the recording sheet designated by the current print job is within a predetermined range is mounted on the printing device in a sheet feed direction different from the sheet feed direction of the recording sheet of the previous print job.

Printing control device and method according to sheet sizes

A print control method includes, when a sorting method for sorting printed matters in a printing device is set, displaying an image indicating an output aspect of the printed matters output from the printing device, based on the set sorting method and a previous output aspect of the printing device.

Non-transitory computer readable medium, information processing device and print control method

An operation for reconnecting a mobile information terminal and a base unit, which is performed when a user returns home, is made easier, and a matter that has occurred in the base unit during his absence is displayed on the mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal enters a sleep state when receiving no signal from the base unit. When the user performs a predetermined operation, the mobile information terminal returns from the sleep state, then searches for the base unit, and displays, on a display section, information relating to the matter that has occurred during his absence, the information being transmitted from the base unit when the terminal is reconnected to the base unit. Accordingly, the user can know, through a simple operation, the record of an incoming call received through a wired network, or an answering machine message that has occurred during his absence from the base unit.

Radio communication system and mobile information terminal

Disclosed is a wireless communication system capable of easily reconnecting a mobile information terminal and a base unit when a user returns home and letting the user know missed incoming call information or the like. To this end, when being unable to receive a signal from the base unit, the mobile information terminal enters into a sleep state, and when a predetermined operation is performed, the mobile information terminal searches for the base unit, and when reconnecting to the base unit, the terminal displays information on an item transmitted from the base unit on an operation display section. Thus, even when the user returns home but forgets switching an operation mode, the mobile information terminal searches for the base unit as soon as the predetermined operation is performed, and can obtain necessary information from the base unit at home by a simple operation when the user desires the information.

Wireless communication system and mobile information terminal

A mobile phone apparatus is provided which can register the settings for a ringing operation when receiving a telephone call depending on the situation. The mobile phone apparatus includes: a communication unitwhich carries out transmission and receipt of data via a communication network; an output unitfor outputting at least one of sound, vibration, light and indication; a storage unitwhich stores apparatus identification data such as a telephone number for the mobile phone apparatus and various setting information, the storage unitincluding: an individual information registering unitwhich registers apparatus identification information on a plurality of other communication apparatuses and individual identification information such as an owner name or user name of each of the plurality of communication apparatuses; a group registering unitwhich registers some of the plurality of other communication apparatuses registered in the individual information registering unitas a group; and an operation setting unitwhich sets operation contents of the output unit; an input unitfor inputting apparatus identification data and/or various setting information; and a display unitfor displaying information on transmission and receipt of data and/or various setting information. In this case, the output unitoutputs the operation contents set by the operation setting unitwhen an incoming call signal is received by the communication unit

Mobile phone apparatus

An alkaline storage battery which comprises a nickel positive electrode, a zinc negative electrode, a separator which wraps the negative an electrode and comprises from inside to outside in sequence: non-woven cellulose disposed on the negative electrode, a semipermeable membrane of cellulose and micro-porous plastic film which is in contact with the positive electrode, an electrolyte consisting of aqueous solution of KOH which is held on the positive and negative electrodes and in the separator and is controlled in an amount such that free electrolyte does not exist in places other than at the three elements mentioned above, and a gas phase reaction catalyst which is provided in a space in the storage battery to promote the reaction between oxide and hydrogen evolved at the end of charging.
