An information transmitting apparatus includes a search unit and an information transmitting unit. The search unit searches for at least one destination linked with authentication information using a character string corresponding to the authentication information as a keyword. The information transmitting unit transmits information using a search result obtained by the search unit.

A service system includes a mobile terminal and an information processing device capable of communication via a network. The mobile terminal includes a first transmission unit that transmits spherical images taken in respective imaging locations and positional information about the imaging locations to the information processing device. The information processing device includes a reception unit that receives the spherical images transmitted by the first transmission unit; a map data obtaining unit that obtains map data from a map data storage, the map data including the imaging locations of the spherical images; a path information creation unit that creates information about a path made by connecting the imaging locations in the map data obtained by the map data obtaining unit; and a content providing unit that makes content available for a request through the network, the content including the map data, the information about the path, and the spherical images.

A terminal device performs operations includes: a file information receiving process to receive M pieces of file information for identifying M image files from a printer storing M image files; a specific signal receiving process to receive a specific signal from the printer; a determination process to determine whether an inter-device distance is equal to or less than a predetermined distance by using a received radio field intensity of the specific signal; a selection process to select N pieces of file information, which is a part of the M pieces of file information when it is determined in the determination process that the inter-device distance is equal to or less than the predetermined distance; and a print instruction transmission process to not transmit the print instruction to the printer when it is determined that the inter-device distance is not equal to or less than the predetermined distance.

Embodiments of systems and methods for the sending, delivery and receiving of faxes are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a fax connector that may be deployed at a user's site, and a faxing system that may be deployed remotely from the user's site. The fax connector can be accessed at the user's site over a computer based network in order to perform functions associated with faxing, including sending, receiving and obtaining status on faxes. The fax connector deployed at the user's site communicates with the remotely deployed faxing system to send, receive, obtain status on, or perform other functions associated with, faxing.

An image output method including capturing an image of code pattern including device information specifying an image output device, obtaining the device information from the image of code pattern, obtaining user information specifying a user, and outputting the device information, and the user information or a permission information for temporarily permitting the use of the image output device to an external device, by an information processing device; authenticating the user based on the user information, by a processor; and executing image output processing by the image output device specified based on the device information when authenticating the user based on the user information or when the permission information is sent from the information processing device.

Embodiments of the disclosed innovations provide systems and methods for locating data associated with rendered documents. Some embodiments support the use of a handheld document data capture device.

An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit that obtains, from an external apparatus, a data transmission condition that specifies a timing at which data regarding a state change of the information processing apparatus is transmitted to the external apparatus and that has been created on a basis of at least of an operation state of the information processing apparatus and a transmission unit that, if the data is generated as a result of a state change of the information processing apparatus, establishes, in accordance with the state change of the information processing apparatus, a first mode in which the data is transmitted to the external apparatus regardless of the timing specified by the data transmission condition or a second mode in which the data is transmitted to the external apparatus in accordance with the timing specified by the data transmission condition.

When an address is inputted through input means for inputting an address of a receiving end, an image transmission apparatus carries out an authentication process that determines whether or not the inputting person is a right authorized person. When it is determined that the corresponding operation is right through the authentication process, the image transmission apparatus transmits image data to the address of the receiving end thus inputted.

Camera settings are provided by retrieving, based on current metadata defining a current position of a camera (5) and from a storage, metadata defining respective positions of other cameras and camera settings used by the other cameras when taking photos or videos that are uploaded on an image/video hosting service. Information representative of camera settings used when taking a photo/video selected among the photos/videos available on the image/video hosting service is provided for transmission to the camera (5).
