A system and method for document processing includes a controller configured for digital control of multifunction peripheral operations. The controller detects a portable data device and receives configuration data through a near field communication interface. The controller selectively enables of document processing operations of the MFP as specified by received configuration data. The controller generates an active display on a touch screen control panel in accordance with the received configuration data and receives user selection data via the active display on the touch screen control panel. The controller commences a document processing operation in accordance with received user selection data.

A communication apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires capability information on other communication apparatuses in a network. The determination unit determines, based on the capability information acquired by the acquisition unit, whether there is a communication apparatus having a specific function, related to data communication, to be performed after processing to set communication parameters is performed. The control unit perform controls, in response to the determination unit determining that there is a communication apparatus having the specific function, to continue the processing to set the communication parameters, and performs control, in response to the determination unit determining that there is no communication apparatus having the specific function, to terminate the processing to set the communication parameters.

This invention relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method for supplying an optimum amount of image data to another apparatus. When a PDA 91 has a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps, a mobile phone 1 determines that a maximum speed of communication with the PDA 91 is low, reduces accordingly the amount of moving image data captured by a CCD of the mobile phone, and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA 91. The PDA 91 displays a low-quality moving image 93 on its display unit. When the PDA 91 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, the CPU of the mobile phone leaves unchanged the amount of moving picture data captured by the CCD and supplies the captured moving image data to the PDA 91. The PDA 91 then displays a high-quality moving image 94 on the display unit. This invention applies advantageously to digital cameras.

Synchronization of simultaneously captured media in a multi-camera system is performed using a consistent file structure within the cameras. A primary camera receives a bitmap describing the file and folder utilization of each of one or more secondary cameras. The primary camera selects a folder number and file position number that is commonly available across all cameras. The primary camera directs the secondary cameras to store subsequently simultaneously captured media content at the selected file number and folder position number. During post-processing, simultaneously-captured content is accessed based on common folder numbers and file position numbers. A post-processing system compares a timestamp associated with each content file in a group with matching folder numbers and file position numbers to identify false positive groupings.

Embodiments of the systems, devices and methods described herein generally facilitate performing Bluetooth pairing between a first device and a second device. In accordance with one example embodiment, a first device generates a barcode that encodes Bluetooth pairing data for transmission to the second device, wherein the pairing data comprises a Bluetooth address associated with the first device, and wherein the pairing data further comprises a personal identification number usable to complete the Bluetooth pairing, the barcode is transmitted to the second device, and Bluetooth pairing is performed with the second device.

A communication apparatus includes: a transmitting unit that is capable of transmitting data to a designated destination through any of plural communication interfaces; a storage unit in which plural pieces of destination information are stored; and a registration unit that registers a communication interface used for data transmission in advance for each of the plural pieces of destination information stored in the storage unit.

A system that facilitates processing of data packets in an Internet Protocol (IP) network environment, which includes a computer device having an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) extensions application, and wherein the IPv6 extensions application performs the following steps: setting an IPv6 extension header policy for the computer device; retrieving an original IPv6 packet from a network stack on the computer device, the original IPv6 packet having an extension header or destination option; determining if a designated route in the extension header or destination option is in accordance with the IPv6 extension header policy for the computer device; and if the designated route is in accordance with the IPv6 extension header policy, modifying the extension header or destination option for the computer device to generate a modified IPv6 packet, and sending the modified IPv6 packet on the IPv6 network.

Enhanced telestrators are presented. Such enhanced telestrators provide visual elements (e.g. annotations and/or visual cues) to a user of a wearable device, such as a head-mounted display device. The visual elements may be superimposed, combined, composited, blended, and/or layered over image data displayed by a display device included in the wearable device. The visual elements may also be projected (by a projection system included in the wearable device), onto physical surfaces of the user's environment. Such projection systems may include lasers and/or light emitting diodes for photon source. The projection systems are enabled to project the visual elements onto surfaces of the environment of the user of the wearable device. More particularly, the various embodiments herein provide annotations and/or visual cues superimposed over image data viewed by the user and/or projected onto (and reflected by) physical surfaces the user's environment, via a photon-emitter.
