A communication device including a processor configured to, when executing processor-executable instructions stored in a storage unit, perform determining a first configurable range including setting values stored in the storage unit, acquiring, from an image processing apparatus via a communication unit, a second configurable range including setting values for image processing executable by the image processing apparatus, determining whether the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, when determining that the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, transmitting an image processing instruction to perform an image processing operation according to the setting values of the first configurable range stored in the storage unit, to the image processing apparatus via the communication unit, and when determining that the first configurable range is different from the second configurable range, restricting transmission of the image processing instruction to the image processing apparatus.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a memory, a display, and a processor, wherein the processor may confirm a user input related to selection of an image corrected by using a first image processing scheme, transmit attribute information related to the first image processing scheme to an external electronic device through the communication module, based on the user input, receive, from the external electronic device through the communication module, the image corrected by using a second image processing scheme selected based on the attribute information in the external electronic device, and display, through the display, the image corrected by using the second image processing scheme.

In an example of the disclosure, a print job is received. The print job is to be printed upon a roll media at a printer, and includes a set of production frames 1-n. Printing of the production frames, a non-production frame x and a non-production frame y is caused. The non-production frame x includes an instruction to modify a non-printing apparatus that is to perform an action upon the printed print job, and is printed after the printing of production frame 1 and before the printing of production frame n. The non-production frame y includes a diagnostic and is printed after the printing of production frame 1 and before the printing of production frame n. The diagnostic is scanned to generate scan data. The scan data utilized to perform a calibration operation at the printer.

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.

An information processing apparatus includes an image reading device, a control device, and an input device. The image reading device reads a source document and generates image data. The control device acts as a controller that generates an editable electronic file from the image data. The input device is to be used by a user to input an instruction. The controller adds, upon receipt of a modification of the source image represented by the electronic file, through the input device, a modification history based on the modification made, to the modified source image.

A communication device including a processor configured to, when executing processor-executable instructions stored in a storage unit, perform determining a first configurable range including setting values stored in the storage unit, acquiring, from an image processing apparatus via a communication unit, a second configurable range including setting values for image processing executable by the image processing apparatus, determining whether the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, when determining that the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, transmitting an image processing instruction to perform an image processing operation according to the setting values of the first configurable range stored in the storage unit, to the image processing apparatus via the communication unit, and when determining that the first configurable range is different from the second configurable range, restricting transmission of the image processing instruction to the image processing apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a processed image obtained through image processing, and a generation unit that generates a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image.

A communication device including a processor configured to, when executing processor-executable instructions stored in a storage unit, perform determining a first configurable range including setting values stored in the storage unit, acquiring, from an image processing apparatus via a communication unit, a second configurable range including setting values for image processing executable by the image processing apparatus, determining whether the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, when determining that the first configurable range is equal to the second configurable range, transmitting an image processing instruction to perform an image processing operation according to the setting values of the first configurable range stored in the storage unit, to the image processing apparatus via the communication unit, and when determining that the first configurable range is different from the second configurable range, restricting transmission of the image processing instruction to the image processing apparatus.

A system of identifying end-user processes in a print environment receives job data corresponding to jobs that have been processed by one or more print devices in a print environment over a time period, and identifies a plurality of processing operations initiated by a user during the time period. The system determines whether the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation that was performed after a print processing operation and within a second time period from performance of the print processing operation. In response to determining that the plurality of processing operations comprise a scan processing operation initiated by the user that was performed within the second time period from a print processing operation, the system generates a digital representation of an end user process that includes the first processing operation and the second processing operation, and presents a visual representation of the end user process for validation.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for transmitting streams of data. The present invention also relates to generating packet watermarks and packet watermark keys. The present invention also relates to a computerized system for packaging data for transmission to a user. The system may utilize computer code to generate a bandwidth rights certificate that may include: at least one cryptographic credential; routing information for the transmission; and, optionally, a digital signature of a certificate owner; a unique identification code of a certificate owner; a certificate validity period; and pricing information for use of bandwidth. The present invention also relates to an electronic method and system for purchasing good and services by establishing an account whereby a customer is credited with a predetermined amount of bandwidth usage, and then charges are assessed against the account in an amount of bandwidth usage which corresponds to the agreed upon purchase value for the selected item.
