Synchronization of simultaneously captured media in a multi-camera system is performed using a consistent file structure within the cameras. A primary camera receives a bitmap describing the file and folder utilization of each of one or more secondary cameras. The primary camera selects a folder number and file position number that is commonly available across all cameras. The primary camera directs the secondary cameras to store subsequently simultaneously captured media content at the selected file number and folder position number. During post-processing, simultaneously-captured content is accessed based on common folder numbers and file position numbers. A post-processing system compares a timestamp associated with each content file in a group with matching folder numbers and file position numbers to identify false positive groupings.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores computer-readable instructions, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus, causing the information processing apparatus to perform: receiving a parameter from a first other program different from the program; in response to receiving the parameter from the first other program, transmitting a scan execution command including the received parameter to a scanner through a communication interface of the information processing apparatus, the parameter being indicative of a setting value that is set for executing scan processing on the scanner; receiving mode selection information from a second other program different from the program and from the first other program; and in response to receiving the mode selection information from the second other program, converting the received mode selection information into a parameter, and transmitting a scan execution command including the converted parameter to the scanner through the communication interface.

The present invention relates to a print control apparatus that is connected to a data processing apparatus through a first communication unit and connected to an image forming apparatus through a second communication unit.

A terminal device as a control device is provided with a CPU including: an obtaining unit for obtaining screen information from an MFP; a first display unit for displaying an operation screen based on the screen information; a first transmission unit for transmitting, to the MFP, position information based on a user's instruction to the operation screen; a determination unit for determining whether a state change influencing communication with MFP occurs or not; a second display unit for displaying an alternative screen generated based on the screen information; a storage unit for storing a parameter based on a user's instruction to the alternative screen; and a second transmission unit for transmitting the stored parameter to the MFP.

A system may include multiple remote kiosk devices each to present a respective kiosk user interface and multiple remote receptionist devices each to present a respective receptionist user interface. The system may perform operations comprising receiving at the receptionist devices live video feeds captured by the multiple kiosk devices and providing the multiple live video feeds to the remote receptionist devices. The remote receptionist devices present the multiple live video feeds in the receptionist user interfaces The system may receive, from a receptionist device, a request to initiate a video call with a remote kiosk device, may initiate a video call between the remote receptionist device and the remote kiosk device, and may cause the user interface of the remote receptionist device to present the video call and the live video feeds simultaneously.

A control method performed by an apparatus that communicates with a device and that includes a display screen includes causing the display screen to display a first screen including a scan object used for scanning and a predetermined object different from the scan object, and causing the display screen to display, as a screen corresponding to the scan object, a second screen including a scan setting item. In addition, the display screen is caused to display, as a screen corresponding to the predetermined object, a third screen that does not include the scan setting item and that includes information for prompting a user to put the apparatus close to the device.

A method performed by a data processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus includes transmitting, by the data processing apparatus, an execution instruction for a job to the image forming apparatus, generating, by the image forming apparatus, an authentication code corresponding to the transmitted execution instruction and displaying the authentication code or information representing the encrypted authentication code on a display unit of the image forming apparatus, transmitting, by the data processing apparatus, an authentication code to the image forming apparatus, and executing, by the image forming apparatus, a job corresponding to the transmitted execution instruction in a case where a predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied based on the transmitted authentication code and the generated authentication code.

A system may include multiple remote kiosk devices each to present a respective kiosk user interface and multiple remote receptionist devices each to present a respective receptionist user interface. The system may perform operations comprising receiving at the receptionist devices live video feeds captured by the multiple kiosk devices and providing the multiple live video feeds to the remote receptionist devices. The remote receptionist devices present the multiple live video feeds in the receptionist user interfaces The system may receive, from a receptionist device, a request to initiate a video call with a remote kiosk device, may initiate a video call between the remote receptionist device and the remote kiosk device, and may cause the user interface of the remote receptionist device to present the video call and the live video feeds simultaneously.

A terminal device includes a communicator capable of communicating with a plurality of image forming apparatuses capable of switching an operation mode between an energy-saving mode and a normal mode, and a controller, wherein the controller, from the plurality of image forming apparatuses via the communicator, receives information of each image forming apparatus including the operation mode, based on the information of each image forming apparatus, displays states of the operation modes of the image forming apparatuses, and sends a request signal, which switches the operation mode, via the communicator to the image forming apparatus selected from among the displayed image forming apparatuses.

The present invention relates to a print control apparatus that is connected to a data processing apparatus through a first communication unit and connected to an image forming apparatus through a second communication unit.
