The second information collection unit transmits collected information containing bibliographic information, page information and user reading position information of books to the second information recognition unit, the second information recognition unit determines audio information corresponding to the current reading position of a user according to the bibliographic information, the page information and the user reading position information of the books and informs the audio unit, and the audio unit outputs the corresponding audio information in an audio mode. According to the book reader, equipment facilitating reading is provided for people who cannot read common books directly, and therefore people can read a large amount of common books conveniently.

In a pull printing system, it is possible to perform an alternate print with appropriate security and in consideration of loads on a server while securing convenience of the user requesting a third party for the alternate print. An image processing apparatus in the pull printing system comprises a user authentication unit configured to confirm authority of an alternate process to a first user during login, a bibliographic information managing unit configured to acquire bibliographic information of print data stored in a storage server by a second user from a bibliographic information server for displaying the print data corresponding to the second user and a log information managing unit configured to acquire a log of an operation of the alternate process executed by the first user to the print data corresponding to the second user.

A system obtains image data from reading a document by means of a scanning function; creates positional information indicating an area of a particular article included in the image data; creates meta data including bibliographic information of the article, information identifying the article and the positional information; stores the thus-created meta data; delivers to a terminal at least the bibliographic information and the information identifying the article; delivers to the terminal the image data of the article in response to a request; and carries out display control of the article image based on the positional information when the meta data has the positional information of the article, while, when the meta data does not have the positional information of the article, carries out display control of the article image as a result of obtaining the positional information of the article from the information identifying the article.

A bibliographic-information impression word is generated from a bibliographic information segment about selected one of music pieces. An acoustic feature quantity of an audio signal representing the selected music piece is calculated. A feature-quantity impression word is generated from the calculated acoustic feature quantity. A degree of conformity between the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word is determined. Both the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word are selected as final impression words when the determined conformity degree is greater than a predetermined threshold value. One is selected from the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word as a final impression word when the determined conformity degree is not greater than the predetermined threshold value. A signal representing the final impression word or words is stored into a storage in relation to the selected music piece.

An enhanced wireless eddy current probe is disclosed which has means to wirelessly couple to a non-destructive inspection (NDI) system situated some distance away from an inspection point on a material under inspection. The disclosed enhanced wireless eddy current probe provides means for executing advanced functions necessary for a complex eddy current inspection operation. These functions include, but are not limited to, storing, loading, and executing a predetermined firing sequence on an array of coil elements, probe balancing, probe calibration, and providing bibliographic information specific to said probe to a wirelessly coupled NDI system.

A server comprising means for managing bibliographic information of data, means for sending display data used to display the bibliographic information of the data to a client, means for managing a data provision request to a storage and a print request to a printer, in response to a print request issued from the client to print the data stored in the storage, means for notifying the storage of the provision request and storage location information, in response to a query for the provision request issued by the storage, means for adding the storage location information of the data to be printed to the bibliographic information of the data when the data is provided from the storage, and means for notifying the printer of the print request and storage location information of the data, in response to a query for the print request issued by the printer.

The invention discloses a book reader. The book reader comprises a first information acquisition unit, a first information identification unit and an audio unit and determines audio information corresponding to a current reading page according to the information including the bibliographic information and the page number information of a book and notifies the audio unit to output the correspondingaudio information in an audio form, or the book reader comprises a second information acquisition unit, a second information identification unit and an audio unit and determines the corresponding audio information according to the information including the bibliographic information, the page number information and the user's reading position of the book and notifies the audio unit to output the corresponding audio information in an audio form. The embodiment of the invention can provide a device facilitating reading for people who cannot directly read ordinary books conveniently, thereby facilitating reading of a large number of ordinary books.

A method for ranking experts in a knowledge management system. A plurality of data elements are stored in a database, the data elements having substantive technical data and bibliographic information encoded therein. A result set is produced from the database in response to a user query, the result set including data elements having technical data encoded therein that corresponds to the query. An expert list is produced based on the bibliographic information for the data elements contained in the result set. Each expert in the expert list is ranked based on criteria associated with the result set to produce a ranked expert list.

An image processing system capable of positively performing preview display of contents corresponding to a printed result to be obtained by executing processing based on print data. An MFP acquires a preview image generated based on the print data and bibliography information for managing specification of the print data indicated by the preview image, from a server, and transmits the acquired preview image and bibliography information to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs preview display of the printed result based on the received preview image. The MFP determines whether or not the bibliography information is compatible with the apparatus information indicative of specifications of the MFP, and if the bibliography information is not compatible with the apparatus information, the MFP manipulates the preview image based on the apparatus information, and transmits the manipulated preview image to the mobile terminal.

The present invention relates to a control apparatus, a control method, and a control system. Provided is a control apparatus (100), comprising: a request accepting unit (14); a response data generating unit (16); and a request responding unit (15), wherein, upon the request accepting unit accepting a job listing obtaining request from a processing apparatus (200), the response data generating unit obtains bibliographic information corresponding to a job of a user from a bibliographic information holding unit which holds multiple bibliographic information sets in order to unilaterally manage the multiple bibliographic information sets corresponding to all jobs including the job held by the control apparatus and jobs held by other control apparatuses, and, based on the obtained bibliographic information, generates job listing response data which include job accumulating location specifying information for specifying job accumulating locations, and wherein the request responding unit transmits the generated job listing response data to the processing apparatus and responds to the job listing obtaining request.
