An object of the present invention is to control a Reprint function/Resend function so as not to confuse a user of an image processing device in a case where a job complete delete function is enabled. An image processing device having a reperform function to reperform an already-performed job and a delete function to delete data used in an already-performed job by overwriting the data used in the already-performed job by real data, the image processing device including a job security setting unit configured to set whether to enable the delete function, and in the case where the delete function is set to be enabled by the job security setting unit, the already-performed job is not reperformed by the reperform function.

An image processing device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image to be processed from a storage unit in which a captured image having first date/time information indicating a time of imaging is stored, a date/time information acquisition unit that acquires the first date/time information and acquires second date/time information indicating a date/time when the captured image to be processed is acquired, an elapsed date/time calculation unit that calculates an elapsed date/time from the time of imaging by making a comparison between the first date/time information and the second date/time information, and an image processing unit that selects image processing based on a length of the elapsed date/time from among a plurality of kinds of image processing that change according to the length of the elapsed date/time and performs the selected image processing on the captured image to be processed.

A first terminal device includes a communicator capable of communicating with a server device which provides a service enabling message exchange among a plurality of terminal devices, a controller, and a display, wherein the controller displays, on the display, a message showing that a first communication device received a first image from the second communication device, receives an instruction for sending a second image to the second communication device, and, when failing to send the second image to the second communication device, sends, to the server device, an instruction for sending a reply message in response to having received the first image to the second terminal device.

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.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor to perform: acquiring date information determined based on a current date; selecting an icon to be displayed on the display unit, according to the date information, from a plurality of icons that is used to execute image processing; controlling a display unit such that the display unit displays the selected icon; acquiring selection information specifying an icon selected from the icon displayed on the display unit; and controlling a printing execution unit such that the printing execution unit prints an image by executing the image processing associated with the icon specified. In a case where the date information represents a first date, the processor, in the selecting, configured to select a first icon, and in a case where the date information represents a second date, the processor, in the selecting, configured to select a second icon.

A system and method for application reporting by a multifunction peripheral includes a document processing device having an intelligent controller controlling operations of the multifunction peripheral, including operation of a scanner engine and a print engine. A memory stores a plurality of user selectable applications for the controller. The controller executes at least one user selectable application selected from a library of available applications. The processor determines when one or more of the user selectable applications are launched. The processor outputs status data relative to monitored application launches to an associated server via a network interface.

A first terminal device includes a communicator capable of communicating with a server device which provides a service enabling message exchange among a plurality of terminal devices, a controller, and a display, wherein the controller displays, on the display, a message showing that a first communication device received a first image from the second communication device, receives an instruction for sending a second image to the second communication device, and, when failing to send the second image to the second communication device, sends, to the server device, an instruction for sending a reply message in response to having received the first image to the second terminal device.

A computer implemented method and apparatus for generating smart albums. The method comprises performing image analysis on a plurality of media files on a first user device, wherein each of the plurality of media files includes metadata; updating metadata associated with each of the plurality of media files based on the image analysis; transmitting the plurality of media files and updated metadata to a media sharing server; receiving, in response to transmitting the plurality of media files, one or more media files created by other users, wherein the metadata associated with the received media files is similar to the metadata associated with the transmitted media files; and generating a plurality of albums based on a comparison of metadata of the transmitted and received media files.

In executing a job for combining a plurality of images and outputting the combined image, an information processing apparatus stores log information to allow a system administrator to later identify what image has been output while effectively saving the capacity of a storage device to be used.

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.
