A portable information device includes: an image sensor; a position information acquisition portion that outputs position information; an orientation sensor; and a display that displays an image of an object output from the image sensor and displays relevant information on the object, the relevant information on the object being obtained based on at least measurement data from the position information acquisition portion and the orientation sensor.

A system for tracking the location of an electronic device includes an electronic device and a wireless location tag. The wireless location tag includes a microcontroller unit, and a modular connector interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a port of the electronic device. The wireless location tag is configured to establish an Internet connection to one or more backend electronic devices in response to detecting that the wireless location tag has been communicatively coupled to the port of the electronic device, obtain identifying information that is associated with the electronic device, and identify tag identifying information associated with the wireless location tag. The wireless location tag is also configured to send one or more instructions to the one or more backend electronic devices via the Internet connection, and send one or more ping messages to the one or more backend electronic devices.

An example management server creates a group for synchronizing an application configuration, transmits a group identifier of the group to devices included in the group, maps configuration data of an application to the group identifier, stores the mapped configuration data, and transmits the configuration data to at least one device included in the group. When a configuration of an executed application is changed, a device checks whether a group identifier mapped to the application exists in a storage. When the group identifier exists, the device displays a message inquiring whether to propagate the changed configuration data of the application to the group to which the group identifier is assigned. When receiving a request to propagate the changed configuration data, the device provides the changed configuration data to a management server in a predetermined method. The group identifier is transmitted from the management server and stored in the storage.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a result of diagnosis of one image forming apparatus made on a basis of a result of reading of a recording medium on which an image has been formed by the one image forming apparatus and that has been read by another image forming apparatus having an image reading function; acquire other apparatus information, which is information concerning the other image forming apparatus; and generate a screen including both of the result of the diagnosis and the other apparatus information.

An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium includes: an image former that forms an image on a recording medium; an image reader that reads an image formed on a recording medium; an adjuster that adjusts the image former on a basis of a reading result obtained by the image reader by reading an image formed on a recording medium by the image former; and a processor configured to output, to an external apparatus used for diagnosis of the image forming apparatus, the reading result of the image formed on the recording medium by the image former when adjustment is performed by the adjuster.

A document processing device, a document processing system, and a data processing method for the same are introduced. The document processing device utilizes an exclusive user identification information and an exclusive phone number information. After obtaining a document image, all the document image, the exclusive user identification information and the exclusive phone number information are used to generate document image file information. The document image file information is transmitted to a remote storage through a mobile network. Since the document image file information is directly sent by the document processing device to the remote storage according to the unique user identification and unique phone number information through the mobile network, not only can the cumbersome and complicated configuration process be avoided, but also the risk of information theft can be reduced, thereby improving information storage specificity, confidentiality, and security.

A printer may include a memory configured to store print setting information. The print setting information indicates M setting values corresponding to M setting items. Each time a print request including a plurality of setting values corresponding to a plurality of setting items including the M setting items is received, a controller of the printer may be configured to store number of times information in association with received information. In a case where first number of times information is stored in association with first received information and the first number of times information indicates that the number of times the print request was received is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller may be configured to store first print setting information as new print setting information. The first print setting information may indicate M setting values indicated by the first received information.

A first communication apparatus may repeat a broadcast transmission of a trigger signal via a second interface, which is a signal to be used by a second communication apparatus as a trigger for sending a wireless connection request to the first communication apparatus. The wireless connection request may be for forming a first wireless network to which both the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus belong. The first wireless network may be a network for performing a wireless communication via a first interface. The first communication apparatus may receive the wireless connection request via the first interface from the second communication apparatus which has received the trigger signal, and establish a first wireless connection via the first interface with the second communication apparatus so as to form the first wireless network.

A camera information calculation device includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor functions as a first calculation unit and a second calculation unit. The first calculation unit calculates, based on a first image and a first video, first camera positional information indicating a position of a first camera. The first image includes a first object taken by the first camera. The first video includes the first object taken by a third camera. The second calculation unit calculates, based on a second image and a second video, second camera positional information indicating a position of a second camera disposed away from the first camera. The second image includes a second object taken by the second camera. The second video includes the second object taken by the third camera.

A cell phone is disclosed for acquiring information to be transmitted to a receiving facility and for transmitting such thereto. A capture device captures information from an external source. A processor is provided for associating with the captured information a representation of the date and time of the capture of the information, such that the representation of the date and time information in association with the captured information forms augmented captured information. The processor also places the augmented captured information in association with subscriber information in a transmission of the augmented captured information to a receiving facility requiring such subscriber information. A transmitter transmits the transmission including the augmented captured information and the subscriber information to the receiving facility. An encryptor encrypts the augmented captured information with a symmetrical encryption algorithm to provide encrypted augmented captured information in the transmission with the subscriber information.
