A job management server, which is connected to a Web application server and a job processing apparatus via a network, comprises: a registration unit which registers, when a job received from the Web application server is added with information indicating that a request source of the job is the job processing apparatus, the job in a first job queue, and to register, when the job is not added with the information, the job in a second job queue having a lower priority than the first job queue; and a transmission unit which transmits the job registered in the first job queue in response to a request from the job processing apparatus while a user utilizes a Web application via the job processing apparatus.

In a scanning system including a web application cooperating with a message sharing system and an image processing apparatus provided with a scanner, the web application holds card information acquired from a scanning request source and a destination of scan data in association with each other in response to a scanning request from a user account belonging to the message sharing system. An image processing apparatus transmits the scan data generated based on scanning and the card information that has been read to the web application. The web application specifies a destination associated with the card information that has been received from the image processing apparatus and posts the scan data that have been transmitted from the image processor to the message sharing system.

In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to an external device. The external device receives a selection of image data through plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the external device, and prints an image based on the selected image data. The image forming apparatus accepts a selection indicating whether a communication between the external device and the image forming apparatus is performed by a first communication system method or a second communication system method. The image forming apparatus performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the first communication system method when the first communication system method is selected, and performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the second communication system method when the second communication system method is selected.

The present invention relates to a method and system for tracking, issuing, and authenticating gear or articles, such as uniforms, badges, equipment, weapons, etc, for use in law enforcement or other official capacity.

A nail polish application system may include a nail polish applicator to apply a curable nail polish to a nail of a user. An energy source may emit energy to selectively cure the curable nail polish. A sensor may be provided to detect a boundary of the nail of the user. The energy source may be configured to direct the energy to (i) the detected boundary of the nail during a first curing stage or (ii) to an area within the detected boundary of the nail during the first curing stage, and to (iii) avoid directing the energy to an area outside the detected boundary of the nail during the first curing stage.

A printer-equipped digital camera and a displaying control method thereof capable of printing a high quality image and reducing a power load are provided. A printer-equipped digital camera 1 includes a film loading chamber 50 in which an instant film pack 100 is loaded, an exposure display 56, a louver plate 62 that is included on a displaying surface of the exposure display 56, an imaging lens 12, an image sensor 42, and an image displaying display 16, in which an image is recorded on the instant film 110 by displaying the image on the exposure display 56. Displaying of the image displaying display 16 is switched OFF while the image is displayed on the exposure display 56.

A printer-equipped camera includes an instant film pack loading unit in which an instant film pack including an exposure opening is loaded, a first displaying unit of which a displaying surface is arranged to face an exposure surface of an instant film in the instant film pack through the exposure opening with respect to the instant film pack loaded in the instant film pack loading unit, and that exposes the instant film by displaying an image, a light exit direction restriction member that is included on the displaying surface of the first displaying unit and restricts a light exit direction of light from each pixel of the first displaying unit to a constant range, the light exit direction restriction member being arranged to be spaced from the exposure surface of the instant film, an imaging unit that captures a subject image, and a second displaying unit that displays an image to an outside.

An image reading device includes a first scanner, a second scanner, and circuitry. The first scanner is configured to read a first side of a recording medium. The second scanner is configured to read a second side of the recording medium. The circuitry is configured to generate a first correction value to correct misalignment between the first side and the second side. The circuitry is configured to input a second correction value. The circuitry is configured to correct an image based on the first correction value and the second correction value.

Provided is a printing device that can accurately perform printing on a recording medium. The printing device includes: a frame member disposed to surround a nail tip; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the nail tip surrounded by the frame member; a communication part configured to acquire print information which is generated based on an image obtained by capturing the frame member and the nail tip and indicates a layout of printing to be applied to the nail tip in a printable region defined by the frame member; and a print control part configured to control the printing unit based on the acquired print information.

A communication device is configured to relay or capture communication performed between a plurality of information processing apparatuses. The communication device includes circuitry configured to: generate a log indicating a record of the communication performed between the plurality of information processing apparatuses; store the generated log in a memory; infer which one of a normal mode or and energy saving mode an operation state of a transfer destination device is, based on content of communication performed between a transfer destination apparatus and another information processing apparatus in a predetermined latest period; and controls transfer of the log based on a result obtained by inferring by the circuitry, so that the circuitry transfers the log to the transfer destination apparatus in a case where the result indicates the normal mode, and the circuitry postpones a transfer of the log in a case where the result indicates the energy saving mode.
