Abstract: A backlight module with two translucent faces applicable to operations of scanner is used for scanning of transparent documents. The backlight module has a shell and a light source unit disposed in the shell. The shell has a first translucent portion and a second translucent portion corresponding to each other. The light source unit in the shell can emit light via the first translucent portion and the second translucent portion. When the backlight module is used for scanning of a transparent document and the transparent document is placed outside the first translucent portion, the user can preview the content of the transparent document before scanning via the second translucent portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing originals in a flatbed scanner includes a fixed copy holder and a movable scanning unit with a light source for illuminating the original to be scanned, an optoelectronic transducer, and a scanning lens for projecting a scanned line of the original onto the optoelectronic transducer. Fitted below the copy holder is a light source, and fastened on the scanning unit is a dispersion foil drawn under the copy holder by the scanning unit when the scanning unit is brought into a parking position and drawn away by the scanning unit when the scanning unit is moved over the copy holder during scanning. The dispersion foil is stretched tight by a suitable stretching apparatus when the scanning unit is in the parking position.

Abstract: Disclosed are several embodiments of panning and zooming devices that may assist individuals with low vision. The present invention employs imaging devices that capture an image and then select a smaller portion of the image for full display. The size of the selected portion of the captured image determines the magnification that is achieved. Further, different portions of the captured image can be selected to provide for panning of the image. In this fashion, a stationary mounted camera can be used which allows an image to be both panned and zoomed. Further, automated techniques can be used for panning and zooming control. Small aperture optics are used so that images can be focused for a large depth of field which allows the present invention to be employed without the necessity for using expensive optical focusing techniques. Electrical zooming and panning also allows the device of the present invention to be employed for both writing on and reading a document. Any desired types of displays such as cathode ray tube displays, flat panel displays, projection displays, etc. can be employed. Also disclosed is an electronic telescope/microscope that provides a bright image that can be zoomed to provide different magnifications. Another embodiment utilizes eyewear having displays mounted in front of the users eyes and a camera mounted on the eyewear. A large field of view allows the user to pan the image captured by the camera so that the user does not have to utilize head movements to direct the image that is displayed on the eyewear. A mechanical support is also disclosed that utilizes rollers to allow the user to position a camera at a predetermined height over a document and to physically pan across the document. The camera can employ a zoom controller to adjust the size of the image.

Abstract: A document scanning system includes a preview sensor that is dedicated to document previewing and distinct from any other sensor that is involved in the document scanning process. The preview sensor is preferably a two-dimensional sensor array that captures the outline of an entire document in parallel. The captured document outline is previewed on a display device relative to an actual image area that is defined by the scanning system. In an enhanced embodiment of the scanning system, the preview sensor captures an image that is printed on the document in addition to the outline of the document, so that the image of the document is also previewed relative to the image area. Providing a dedicated preview sensor that captures document position and image data in parallel enables real-time display of a document relative to the image area.

Abstract: A universal transparency adapter for use on flat bed image scanners. The transparency adapter, which is placed on the image window of an image scanner, utilizes circumferential back lighting to uniformly project through and illuminate the desired transparent image to be scanned. A circular or other perimeter surrounding light source provides lighting to the transparency original in an economical and simple manner. The inventive light source can also be integrated with a conventional scanner by using the inventive light source as a lid for the conventional scanner.
