A control method for a scanning system that reduces load on an information processing apparatus when transmitting scanned data to a cloud server requiring an access token is provided. The control method includes acquiring, by an information processing apparatus, an access token from an authorization server, transmitting, by the information processing apparatus, the access token and an address of a cloud server in a first transmission, receiving, by an image forming apparatus, the address and the access token transmitted in the first transmission, scanning, by the image forming apparatus, a document based on the reception of the address and the access token, and transmitting, by the image forming apparatus, the image data generated by scanning the document and the access token to the cloud server in a second transmission.

A communication terminal device includes: an application acquisition section that acquires an application prepared to operate an image forming apparatus; an instruction acceptance section that accepts an operation instruction for processing indicated by the application; a processing executing section that makes the application runnable under an operating system of the communication terminal device and executes, in accordance with the application, the processing indicated by the operation instruction accepted by the instruction acceptance section; and a communication section that sends to the image forming apparatus a result of the processing executed by the processing executing section and an operation request.

A handheld device for scanning a muzzle pattern of an animal, the device comprising: a scanning segment configured to fit over the muzzle of the animal and a plurality of scanning cameras attached to the scanning segment for capturing the muzzle pattern from different angles. The device further comprises an image processor for combining and processing scanned muzzle patterns from the plurality of scanning cameras and displaying the processed muzzle pattern on an image viewer. A handle segment comprising a plurality of control buttons and a communication interface for connecting and transferring data to an external device.

The present disclosure relates to an image transmission method and apparatus. In one embodiment, the method includes acquiring an image; automatically extracting personal characteristic information from the image; and automatically sending the image to a terminal device associated with the personal characteristic information. The image is thus automatically transmitted to a recipient having personal characteristics matching that detected from the image without user intervention.

A trunk inventory detection arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a camera positioned to capture images of objects within a trunk of the motor vehicle. A weight detection device is positioned to detect a weight of the objects in the trunk. An electronic processing device is communicatively coupled to each of the camera and the weight detection device. The electronic processing device causes a user of the vehicle to be informed of the objects in the trunk based on signals received from the camera and the weight detection device.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to receive an import operation for importing form image data of a form and form information included in the form, register form management information in which the form image data and the form information are associated with each other, and display, on a terminal device, a management screen for managing the form, based on the form management information.

An image forming apparatus is configured to communicate with an external controller configured to generate a job, and includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured to acquire an image from a first job upon receiving the first job from the external controller and register a reference image generated from the image, to execute inspection processing upon receiving a second job from the external controller, and to perform control to delete the reference image registered upon receiving a cancellation instruction to cancel the second job from the external controller.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program set including a first program and a second program readable by a computer of an information processing device, the first program causing the information process device to register paper pre-set data to a paper information table in which a first correction value for correcting image data and paper information are associated, and the second program causing the information process device to: generate a list by referring to in the paper information table; send the generated list to an application program; obtain the first correction value corresponding to the paper pre-set data set in print setting from the paper information table; correct the received image data by using the obtained first correction value; and transmit a printing command for performing printing based on the corrected image data to a printer.

In general, a printing system of an exemplary embodiment includes a client terminal connected via a network, and a plurality of image forming apparatuses each including an operating unit which receives an operation input of a user. A first image forming apparatus that receives a print file from the client terminal transmits metadata of the print file to a second image forming apparatus. The second image forming apparatus displays a list of print files which are on standby for printing based on the metadata, and obtains a print file from the first image forming apparatus when a print instruction and a selection of a desired print file from the list of print files are received through the operating unit, and performs printing based the print file.

A facility for procuring and analyzing information about an anatomical surface feature from a caregiver that is usable to generate an assessment of the surface feature is described. The facility displays information about the surface feature used in the assessment of the surface feature. The facility obtains user input and/or data generated by an image capture device to assess the surface feature or update an existing assessment of the surface feature.
