Abstract:
In an image data server 200, a preview data generation unit 218 generates preview data corresponding to image data, and a transmission controller 211 transmits the preview data to a computer system 100 in an image receiver apparatus. In accordance with another possible application, the preview data is not generated by the image data server 200, but is generated by a computer system 300 in an image transmitter apparatus, which transmits the image data to the image data server 200, and transmitted to the image data server 200. In the computer system 100 in the image receiver apparatus, a display controller 113 causes the contents of the preview data to be displayed on the screen of a monitor 150. The user determines whether or not the image data corresponding to the displayed preview image is required. In response to an instruction for transfer of the image data input from the user, a transmission controller 111 transmits a request for transfer of the image data to the image data server 200. The transmission controller 211 then transmits the image data, which is the object of the request for transfer, to the computer system 100 in the image receiver apparatus. A print controller 114 causes the image data to be subjected to predetermined image processing, and a printer 180 prints the processed image data on a printing sheet of paper. This arrangement of the present invention enables the image receiver apparatus to selectively receive only the required data.
Abstract:
Improvement of printing speed is set out in an image processing apparatus, which is connected communicably with a printing apparatus, for transferring a recorded image to the printing apparatus and having the printing apparatus print the image. To achieve this object, the present invention has the following configuration. Namely, the invention provides an image processing method of an image capturing apparatus, communicably connected with a printing apparatus which prints transmitted image data. The image processing method comprises: a receiving step (step S101, S104) of receiving information regarding a printing condition of the printing apparatus for printing the transmitted image data; a processing step (step S103, S106) of processing image data to be transmitted to the printing apparatus based on the information regarding the printing condition received in the receiving step; and a transmitting step (step S108) of transmitting the image data processed in the processing step to the printing apparatus.
Abstract:
A classification information setting method for classifying contents into series comprises: a similarity determination step for determining a similarity between first contents classified into a series and second contents unclassified yet; and a classification setting step for setting, in case the similarity exists, classification information related to the first contents, as classification information for the second contents. At the similarity determination step, the similarity is determined by comparing text data contained in the first contents and text data contained in the second contents.
Abstract:
An image input section pre-inputs an image. A temporary storage section temporarily stores the image input by the image input section. An attribute control section controls at least attribute information of the input information temporarily stored in the temporary storage section. A selection section permits a user at the origin of image request to select a desired one of already stored images stored in the temporary storage section in accordance with the attribute information controlled by the attribute control section. An image transfer section reads out the desired image selected by the selection section from the temporary storage section at the time of the request by origin of the image request and transfers the desired image to the origin of the image request via a network.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an image reading apparatus provided with an automatic document feeder (hereinafter referred to as an ADF). The apparatus enables registration of image data as one piece of data even when a document is read as a number of bundles (each bundle includes at least one page and is not more than the loading capacity of the ADF). Owing to this, when document images are divided into two or more bundles for successive reading, different read settings can be determined for the different bundles.

Abstract:
The invention provides a image duplicating apparatus capable of forming images for duplication using standard four ink colors in a standard color style, or using more ink colors than the standard ink colors when duplicating images read from an original on a recording paper. A CPU determines which of the single-copying mode, where images read from the original are duplicated on a sheet of the recording paper, or the multi-copying mode, where images read from the original are duplicated on the sheets of the recording paper, is set. When it is determined that the multi-copying mode is set, the CPU starts duplicating in the standard color style. When it is determined that the single-copying mode is set, the CPU starts duplicating in the fine color style.
Abstract:
A hard disk drive (HDD) stores a plurality of image data in a first format in a compressed form. An image format converter converts the format of the image data to a second format. The second format is a general format, as such as JPEG or TIFF. When transmitting the image data to an external PC, the image data in both the first format and the second format is transmitted.
Abstract:
A plurality of output destinations such as a mail server and a printer are connected via a network, and image formats or resolutions are set as image scanning parameters for each output destination. A parameter that is common to each of the output destinations is selected from the set parameters, an image is read in accordance with the parameter selected and the read image data is output to each of the output destinations via the network.
Abstract:
A multifunction device, an example of the image processing apparatus, performs copy operation when a copy button is depressed. For the copy operation, an image reader unit reads image information from a document, and an ink jet printer unit records the read image information onto a recording sheet. The multi-function device further has CPUs for determining whether image information is to be read from a document as color data or monochrome data, and ROMs storing first default values that provide varying recording densities for copying the image information onto a recording sheet, in accordance with the result of determination by the CPUs. The CPUs also function to change the recording density for copying the image information onto a recording sheet, on the basis of the first default values stored in the ROMs. Therefore, the multi-function device is capable of automatically setting a suitable recording density for copying, in accordance with a currently set mode regarding the recording manner, the reading manner and the like.
