An electronic apparatus includes a communicator, an image capturer configured to acquire a capture image of a display apparatus including a screen, and a processor configured to identify a screen area of the screen, within the capture image. The processor is further configured to sample a plurality of patch images, each of which having a predetermined unit size, from a background area outside the screen area within the capture image, generate a screen image to be displayed on the screen, based on the plurality of patch images, and control the communicator to transmit the screen image to the display apparatus.

An image forming apparatus includes a touchpanel, and a controller that pops up a screen, on the touchpanel automatically without an operation instruction from a user, information that identifies a job ready for execution and a button that is adapted to stop the execution of the job.

A method for transmitting an image and an electronic device thereof are provided. An image transmission method of an electronic device includes displaying a message transmission/reception history with at least one other electronic device, sensing a selection of a camera execution menu, displaying a preview screen of a camera within a screen in which the message transmission/reception history is displayed, detecting a touch on the displayed preview screen, if the displayed preview screen is touched, capturing an image of a subject, detecting a gesture for the captured image, and, if the gesture for the captured image is detected, transmitting the captured image to the at least one other electronic device according to the detected gesture.

A information processing device may store a first and second image process associated with a first and second moving direction. The information processing device may display an object image on a display. The information processing device may detect a first instruction position when an indicator makes contact with the object image. The information processing device may detect a second instruction position when the indicator moves to the second instruction position, while maintaining a state of being in contact with the display. The information processing device may calculate a predetermined direction towards which the second instruction position is located. The information processing device may execute a first image process on the object image when the calculated predetermined direction corresponds to the first moving direction. The information processing device may execute a second image process on the object image when the calculated predetermined direction corresponds to the second moving direction.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller that, when a device that changes an image presented in a field of view of a user along with a motion direction of the user receives an output instruction of the image, performs a control to output an image of an area being presented to the user at a time when the output instruction is received.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory to store information of a display status of setting item buttons used for selecting corresponding setting items on a screen, and information of at least one of the setting items corresponding to an error that occurs during information processing as an error-occurred setting item, and circuitry to detect occurrence of the error during the information processing, determine whether a setting item button corresponding to the error-occurred setting item is displayed or not on the screen when the occurrence of the error is detected during the information processing, and display the setting item button corresponding to the error-occurred setting item on the screen based on a determination that the setting item button corresponding to the error-occurred setting item is not displayed on the screen when the occurrence of the error is detected during the information processing.

A system and method for aligning documents for scanning includes a multifunction peripheral with a controller having a processor and associated memory. The controller issues instructions controlling operation of a scanner. A tangible document is placed on a surface of a scanner platen, and a sensor determines its location relative to the platen. An optimal position of the document relative to the platen is determined. The processor then generates a graphical rendering on an associated display indicative of a directed repositioning of the document on the platen in accordance with a determined optimal position of the document relative to the platen.

Included are: a platen on which documents to be read are placed; an image input unit configured to read in one or a plurality of documents placed on the platen at one time; a storage unit configured to store entire image data including individual images of the documents read in at one time; an outer frame region removing unit configured to remove, from the entire image data, image data of an outer frame region at a perimeter edge portion of the platen, having a predetermined width; and an individual image cropping unit configured to crop individual images of one or a plurality of documents, from the entire image data after the image data of the outer frame region has been removed.

An image processing system includes a reception unit that receives an image forming instruction from a user, a retaining unit that retains the image forming instruction in association with the user, an acceptance unit that accepts an execution instruction from the user; an authentication unit that performs authentication of the user, and an image forming unit that executes the image forming instruction retained by the retaining unit in association with the authenticated user. The image forming unit executes the image forming instruction without accepting the execution instruction by the acceptance unit in a case where the authentication unit completes the authentication and cancellation of execution by the user is not present within a holding time.

A system and method for aligning documents for scanning includes a multifunction peripheral with an intelligent controller having a processor and associated memory. The controller issues instructions controlling operation of a scanner. A tangible document is placed on a surface of a scanner platen, and a sensor determines its location relative to the platen. An optimal position of the document relative to the platen is determined. The processor then generates a graphical rendering on an associated display indicative of a directed repositioning of the document on the platen in accordance with a determined optimal position of the document relative to the platen.
