A mesh network adapter is designed to communicate with a camera, and is configured to form a mesh node in a wireless mesh network. The network adapter includes housing, a microprocessor, a transceiver, a non-volatile onboard data storage medium, and an elongate flexible extension cable. The flexible cable is operatively connected to the microprocessor at the camera end, and interfaces with the onboard data storage medium and a removable memory card. The microprocessor functions to control the transfer of image data from the camera through the flexible cable to the removable memory card, and from the removable memory card to the onboard data storage medium for subsequent wireless transmission to a gateway within the mesh network.

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 application discloses an image transmission device and method. The image transmission device provided by the present application comprises: an FPGA configured to receive pixel data in image data from a video camera in sequence and buffer the pixel data into a memory, and determine, upon reception of a line of pixel data, a line number of the line of pixel data in the image data and a frame number of the image data; and a processor configured to obtain the line of pixel data, the line number of the line of pixel data and the frame number of the image data from the FPGA, package the obtained line of pixel data, line number of the line of pixel data and frame number of the image data into a data packet, and transmit the data packet to a server.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that perform notification of disaster prevention information in an appropriate notification mode. An MFP (100) functioning as the image forming apparatus includes a radio reception unit (202) configured to receive the disaster prevention information including information indicating an importance level of a content from a transmitting station (600), a printing unit (205) configured to perform image formation on a predetermined sheet, and a UI unit (206) configured to perform notification of the disaster prevention information. The MFP (100) recognizes the importance level of the disaster prevention information received by the radio reception unit (202) and causes the UI unit (206) to perform the notification of the disaster prevention information in a notification mode in accordance with the recognized importance level. The MFP (100) also causes the printing unit (205) to print and output a predetermined image in accordance with the recognized importance level.

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit, a storage, a communication unit, an image processor and a communication controller. The imaging unit generates first image data. The communication unit performs data communications between a first external apparatus and a second external apparatus. The image processor generates second image data based on the first image data. The communication controller controls communications via the communication unit. The communications includes transmission of the second image data to the first external apparatus in response to a first request. The communications includes transmission of image data related to the first image data to the second external apparatus in accordance with a second request.

An image forming apparatus includes: a communicating unit which communicates with a portable terminal device and an external device; a storage control unit which controls to store transfer destination information of the external device to which information from the portable terminal device is allowed to be transferred in a storage unit; a determining unit which determines whether a request from the portable terminal device is the request to the external device indicated by the transfer destination information stored in the storage unit; and a communication control unit which controls the communicating unit to transfer the request from the portable terminal device to the external device indicated by the transfer destination information when the determining unit determines that the request is the request to the external device indicated by the transfer destination information.

An image processing system includes a portable terminal and an image forming device. The image forming device receives a reading instruction for an image from the portable terminal and transmits data based on the reading instruction to the portable terminal. On condition that the portable terminal was located or is located within a range available for short-range wireless communication of the image forming device, the image forming device and the portable terminal share information which is able to exclusively possess a reading instruction for an image from the portable terminal to the image forming device, and the portable terminal transmits the reading instruction for an image to the image forming device that shares the information which is able to exclusively possess the reading instruction.

In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives a selection of an image data among 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 mobile terminal, and prints an image based on the selected image data. A communication between the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus is performed wirelessly with an IEEE 802.11 standard. The image forming apparatus continuously performs a second printing, when the receiving section receives a selected image data again in a condition that the communication with the mobile terminal is continuously established by the receiving section after the printing of the received image data is finished.
