An image forming apparatus is provided with a storage portion that stores a plurality of pieces of schedule information, an image reading portion that generates image data of an original document including a plurality of description fields, a printing portion, and a control portion that recognizes a plurality of description field regions corresponding to the plurality of description fields, respectively, recognizes in-field information that is included in each of the plurality of description field regions in association with a date borne by a corresponding one of the plurality of description fields, extracts one of the plurality of pieces of schedule information and a piece of the in-field information which correspond to a common date as first subject information and second subject information, respectively, and performs control so that an update information image is printed.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to make a character input into an input field invisible, the input field being displayed on a display, and to display a character image on the display so that the character image is superimposed on the character input into the input field, the character image being drawn with an external font installed in an external apparatus based on the character input into the input field.

An image processing device includes a controller, a device information generator that generates device information including identification information of the image processing device, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller displays the generated device information on the terminal device and, based on the setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device that read the displayed device information, controls the job executor to output the job at the predetermined setting.

Embodiments of a system and method for sorting and delivering articles in a processing facility based on image data are described. Image processing results such as rotation notation information may be included in or with an image to facilitate downstream processing such as when the routing information cannot be extracted from the image using an unattended system and the image is passed to an attended image processing system. The rotation notation information may be used to dynamically adjust the image before presenting the image via the attended image processing system.

An image processing apparatus includes a data input unit, an operation panel, a storage unit, and a control unit. The operation panel accepts a registration of a margin image and a setting of an emphasis region within the margin image. The storage unit stores data for emphasis including a registered margin image and positional data. The registered margin image is the margin image that has been registered, and the positional data indicates a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image. When the control unit determines that the registered margin image is included in the page image data, the control unit performs an emphasis process on an image of a corresponding region whose position at the registered margin image included in the page image data is identical to a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image included in the stored data for emphasis.

A broadcast transmitter and a method of processing broadcast data in the broadcast transmitter are disclosed. The method includes the steps of performing RS encoding and CRC encoding on mobile service data to build RS frames belonging to an ensemble, wherein each of the RS frames are mapped into data groups, wherein each of the data groups comprises known data sequences and a portion of FIC data including information for rapid mobile service acquisition, wherein the information for rapid mobile service acquisition includes transport stream identification information for identifying a mobile broadcast carrying a mobile service that includes the mobile service data and C/N indication information for indicating whether the FIC data are applicable to a current transmission frame or a next transmission frame, multiplexing data in the data groups and main service data, and transmitting a transmission frame including the multiplexed data.

Methods and systems for improving a photography business are disclosed, comprising, in an embodiment, taking a photograph of a coded component together with a series of photographs for the client. The coded component comprises human-readable information and is provided to the client for access to the photographs. The coded component also comprises machine-readable information, enabling a server to sort the photographs to the corresponding jobs without operator intervention. The coded component can also comprise a fillable option field to identify that the photographs associated with the coded component are to be specially treated according to a desired selection.
