A multifunction inkjet printer that displays an image on a display device includes: an operation display unit configured to receive an instruction from a user; and a CPU configured to control the display device to display an image, wherein, in a state where display on the display device is being performed at a first refresh rate, in response to the operation display unit receiving an instruction for displaying a code to be captured by a mobile terminal, the CPU is configured to control the display device to display the code at a second refresh rate that has a higher frequency than the first refresh rate.

A sensor apparatus includes a photosensitive sensor, a cover, and a moving mechanism. The photosensitive sensor includes a first lens and a second lens which focus on a photosensitive element. The cover includes a first slit arranged on an optical axis of the first lens and a second slit arranged on an optical axis of the second lens. The moving mechanism is configured to move the photosensitive sensor and the cover relative to each other so that the second slit is arranged on the optical axis of the first lens.

This invention provides an image capturing apparatus comprising an image capturing unit, and a communication unit for communicating with a distribution server via internet, wherein the image capturing apparatus comprises a time measuring unit for measuring, if a distribution instruction for live distribution using the distribution server has been given, an elapsed time since the instruction has been given; and a control unit for starting, if the elapsed time measured by the time measuring unit has reached a predetermined set time, distributing an image captured by the image capturing unit to the distribution server via the communication unit.

An image capturing apparatus comprises an interface configured to connect to an external apparatus, a transmitting unit configured to transmit image data to an external apparatus connected by the interface, a processing unit configured to encode the image data with a predetermined format, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not image data to be encoded by the processing unit includes decoding information for decoding the image data, and a control unit configured to switch, based on the determination result, between processing for transmitting image data encoded by the processing unit and the decoding information to the external apparatus and processing for transmitting an image file in which image data including the decoding information is encoded to the external apparatus.

An image of a document is received from an image capture device, the image being in a format of an image file. At least one location of a user input field is automatically detected within the image based on patterns previously detected in a set of other images that were annotated to identify locations of user input fields within the individual images of the set. Coordinates are determined for the at least one location, and an electronic document is generated based on the received image. Generation of the electronic document includes addition of a software user input component at the location within the image with use of the coordinates, the software user input component configured to receive input from a user in electronic form.

A system includes an operation device and an information storing apparatus, which are connected via a network. The operation device determines, based on information input from the outside of the operation device in response to an operation performed on the operation device, an electronic device among a plurality of electronic devices connected to the system, for causing the electronic device to input electronic data to the information storing apparatus, and sends, to the information storing apparatus, a first request to cause the determined electronic device to input the electronic data to the information storing apparatus. The information storing apparatus sends, to the determined electronic device, a second request based on the first request sent from the operation device, and stores the electronic data that has been sent from the determined electronic device based on the sent second request.

An information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium and for processing information are provided. The information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive image data; cause a display to display the received image data; and move, in response to a user instruction, a portion of the image data from a first place to a second place on the display. The portion of the image data is a partial region of an entire region of the image data. While the portion of the image data is being moved from the first place to the second place, the portion of the image data is displayed at the first place.

A system for capturing images during production of printed material includes an optical device comprising a plurality of cameras arranged in an array with adjacent pairs of cameras having overlapping fields of view. An imaging controller device determines a layout of content on printed material, and determines, based on the layout, an optical system configuration profile. Determining the optical system configuration profile includes selecting one or more cameras for capturing images of regions of interest on the printed material and determining a trigger interval for triggering the selected one or more cameras. The imaging controller device triggers the selected cameras at times determined based on the trigger interval to capture images of the regions of interest on the printed material as the printed material moves in fields of view of the one or more cameras during production of the printed material.

Disclosed is a system for testing batteries, comprising: a battery tester comprising: a tester scanner or camera for capturing an obtained battery identifier; a tester network hardware for transmitting the obtained battery identifier; and a server comprising: a database having data, the data comprising at least one historic battery identifier and associated historic battery characteristic and configured to compare the data with the obtained battery identifier; wherein the battery tester is configured to capture a battery identifier from a battery and transmit the battery identifier to the server.

A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a printer to print image data to a medium and a print controller including a halftone calibration module to dynamically generate calibrated halftones to compensate for optical density changes that occur at the printer.
