Abstract:
An image processing system (200, 201) (image recording apparatus (100, 101)) including: image data keeping structure (image recording device (4, 20)/image producing device (57, 80)) for having image data and process information added to the image data; and image processing structure (image processing device (1, 11, 57, 80)) for receiving the image data to which the process information is added, the image processing structure (1, 11, 57, 80), executing an image process on the image data based on the added process information.
Abstract:
In certain aspects, receiving at least one motivating event at least partially at a processing shared image device. At least one designated attribute is transmitted at least partially from the processing shared image device, wherein the at least one designated attribute can be effected at least partially in response to the receiving the at least one motivating event at least partially at the processing shared image device. An obtained shared image is obtained at the processing shared image device that is obtained in accordance with the at least one motivating event, and is obtained at least partially in response to the transmitting the at least one designated attribute. The obtained shared image is processed to derive an at least one processed shared image at least partially at the processing shared image device.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a digital multi function peripheral (MFP) body, an external controller that is connected to an external apparatus via a network and exchanges data with the MFP body, plural communication units that signal-connect the MFP and the external controller, and an operation panel provided in the MFP body. The MFP body displays operation content for setting a configuration of the external controller on the operation panel on the basis of screen data from the external controller.
Abstract:
The technique of the present invention ensures output of an image subjected to image processing, which does not depend upon the output environment but reflects the color reproduction characteristics of a shooting device and the intention of a photographer in shooting. The process generates an image file that includes picture data generated by a digital still camera, as well as control data and output specification information attached thereto. The control data controls the details of image processing according to the color reproduction characteristics of the camera and the intention of the photographer in shooting. The output specification information specifies, for example, the address of a printing device used as an output resource, the type of printing paper used for printing, and the number of copies. The image file is transmitted to an image processing system on a network. The image processing system carries out image processing of the picture data based on the control data, generates an output file, and transmits the output file to an specified output device via the network. Even in the environment that can not perform image processing based on the control data, the arrangement of the invention ensures output of the image that has been subjected to such image processing.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus having an automatic original document feeding apparatus that sequentially feeds plural original documents, which includes an original document reading section that reads an original document fed by the automatic original document feeding apparatus, an image data generation section that, on the basis of a reading output from the original document reading section, generates real image data and preview image data corresponding to the original document, and a display that, on the basis of the preview image data generated by the image data generation section, displays a preview image corresponding to the original document.
Abstract:
