A data transmission unit includes a transmit unit and a receive unit. The transmit unit and the receive unit are relatively movable with respect to another of the receive unit and the transmit unit. The data transmission unit further includes a coupler, the receive unit being configured to receive data from the transmit unit via the coupler even during a relative movement between transmit unit and receive unit. The coupler includes a first dielectric waveguide including a conductor body and a retaining structure.

A mobile communication system based on digital content including images and video that may be acquired, processed, and displayed using a plurality of mobile devices, smartphones, tablet computers, stationary computers, intelligent electronic glasses, and servers.

A high-definition (HD) fax system routes outbound fax job requests including a high-resolution component to appropriate destinations, including among HD-enabled receiving devices and conventional fax devices. If it is determined that a fax destination is not HD-enabled, such as a conventional fax device, the high-resolution component of the outbound fax job request may be rendered as a low-resolution fax. The low resolution fax may be transmitted via a public switched telephone network (PSTN). On the other hand, if it is determined that a fax destination is HD-enabled, a determination may be made whether the HD-enabled fax destination is color enabled, and the high-resolution component may be rendered as either a high-resolution monochrome fax or a high-resolution color fax.

A server computer system stores a plurality of display generation objects executable to cause display of display images. The server computer system receives a camera image from a user device. The server computer system determines that a particular display image included in the camera image corresponds to a particular display generation object. The server computer system then subscribes the user device to one or more data feeds selected based on the particular display generation object, and sends one or more notifications corresponding to the one or more selected data feeds to the user device.

The present invention provides systems and methods for the virtualization, aggregation, and distributed processing of facsimile communications. The Remote FAX Interconnect known as etherFAX is a system and method that allows for the reception and delivery of information based on cloud computing infrastructure to or from one or more facsimile systems using Internet/web based communication protocols such as HTTP(S) as the transport between a facsimile capable application or hardware and the remotely accessible etherFAX services.

A customizable bag is provided that permits multiple types of customization. The bag includes a ferromagnetic platform coupled to one or more of the bag's panels. The ferromagnetic platform includes a magnetic material, a drawable surface, and may be printed with images or designs provided to the manufacturer or provider by the customer or other user. Also provided are systems for customizing a bag or creating a customizable bag.

An image pickup apparatus includes a specifying unit that specifies, as a transfer target, an image to be transferred to an external device from among images recorded in a recording medium, a transfer control unit that controls the specified image to be transferred to the external device, a display control unit that displays a predetermined screen for inputting an instruction for restricting deletion of the image specified as the transfer target, and a restriction unit that associates, in a case where the instruction for restricting the deletion of the image specified as the transfer target is input via the predetermined screen, information for restricting deletion with the image specified as the transfer target after inputting the instruction, and associates the information for restricting the deletion with images previously specified as the transfer target before inputting the instruction.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate a camera sharing session between two or more users. A camera sharing session is initiated based on session configuration information comprising a user identifier of a user permitted to control image capturing at a camera communicatively coupled to a first device. A trigger request is received from the second device and in response, an image capture, which results in at least one image, is triggered at the camera and the image is transmitted to the second device.

A system and method is disclosed for enabling user friendly interaction with a camera system. Specifically, the inventive system and method has several aspects to improve the interaction with a camera system, including voice recognition, gaze tracking, touch sensitive inputs and others. The voice recognition unit is operable for, among other things, receiving multiple different voice commands, recognizing the vocal commands, associating the different voice commands to one camera command and controlling at least some aspect of the digital camera operation in response to these voice commands. The gaze tracking unit is operable for, among other things, determining the location on the viewfinder image that the user is gazing upon. One aspect of the touch sensitive inputs provides that the touch sensitive pad is mouse-like and is operable for, among other things, receiving user touch inputs to control at least some aspect of the camera operation. Another aspect of the disclosed invention provides for gesture recognition to be used to interface with and control the camera system.

A transfer device is one of a plurality of transfer devices each configured to transfer data between a storage device and a processing device. The storage device and the transfer devices are connected via a bus. The transfer device comprise: an issuing unit configured to issue a request for transferring data via the bus; an analysis unit configured to analyze data to be transferred; and a switching unit configured to switch a state of a series of requests issued by the issuing unit between a first state and a second state in which a request from another transfer device interrupts more easily than in the first state, according to a data attribute obtained as a result of analysis.
