An image display system is configured such that an image display device and an image processing device are connected to each other through a network. The image display device is provided with: an instruction information generation unit for generating instruction information pertaining to image-processing to be performed on an image input signal; an image signal transmission unit for transmitting the instruction information to the image processing device; a corrected signal reception unit for receiving a corrected image input signal obtained through image-processing performed by the image processing device on the basis of the instruction information; and a display signal output unit for outputting an image output signal based on the corrected image input signal, to an object where an image is to be displayed. The image processing device receives the image input signal connected through the network and performs image-processing on the image input signal according to the instruction information.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a portable terminal capable of receiving a signal from a transmitter in a detection area. A processor of the apparatus is configured to determine whether to shift to an operable state from a sleep state based on user information contained in proximity information when the proximity information, containing the user information indicating that a user enters the detection area, is received by the communication interface from the portable terminal receiving a signal from the transmitter.

An example device includes an imaging portion, an audio portion and at least one acoustic isolation feature. The audio portion is integrally coupled to the imaging portion. The audio portion is to provide an audio output. The at least one acoustic isolation feature is to facilitate acoustic separation of the imaging portion and the audio portion.

An image processing apparatus for reading a document to generate image data using a reading unit performs, receiving a job including a document reading-and-transmission job for causing the reading unit to read a document to generate image data and then transmitting the image data to a specified destination, from an information processing apparatus communicable via a network, storing the received job, displaying a list of the stored jobs in response to a user instruction, displaying a confirmation screen related to transmission setting contents of a document reading-and-transmission job selected from the list of jobs, and executing, in a case where execution of the selected document reading-and-transmission job is instructed via the confirmation screen, the document reading-and-transmission job.

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.

An information processing apparatus capable of providing an appropriate IP address to a mobile terminal in which a network service discovery protocol does not function. The information processing apparatus has a plurality of lines assigned with different pieces of address information, and is configured to transmit short-range wireless-communication information, in which address information regarding one line out of the plurality of lines is set, to a communication destination via short-range wireless communication. The information processing apparatus comprises a setting unit configured to preferentially set, into the short-range wireless-communication information, address information regarding a line, out of the plurality of lines, in which a relay device for performing intercommunication between different protocols is provided between the information processing apparatus and the communication destination.
