Abstract:
A network system enables controlling an image input device without requiring a driver that depends on the computer environment. A client terminal has a component that acquires a web page having an embedded scanner control script that controls image input from a scanner; a component that sends an image acquisition request through an interface board to the scanner as controlled by the scanner control script; and a component that gets an image from the scanner as a response to the image acquisition request as controlled by the scanner control script. The interface board receives the image acquisition request, and sends the image scanned by the scanner based on the received image acquisition request to the client terminal.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for matching a received image with a template image are disclosed herein. Such systems and methods can advantageously enable an image captured by a mobile device (such as a smartphone or digital camera) to be correctly identified by the processing application. In some embodiments, the received image is first resized in one or both dimensions in order to match or approximately match the dimensions of a given template. The received image and template image can then be superimposed. Next, an optimal translative transformation value can be calculated in order to generate a confidence level for the current possible match. After confidence levels for each template are generated and recorded, the template with the highest confidence level can be selected as the best match for the received image.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus, connectable with plural image processing apparatuses via a network, which performs image processing. UI setting data is received from an another image processing apparatus, and it is determined whether or not a function included in the received UI setting data can be executed by the apparatus itself. If it is determined that the function cannot be executed by the image processing apparatus, a first image processing apparatus which can execute the function is retrieved on the network. Then setting is changed such that the function is substitutionally executed by the first image processing apparatus.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for processing and extracting content from an image of a driver's license captured using a mobile device. In one embodiment, an image of a driver's license (DL) is captured by a mobile device and corrected to improve the quality of the image. The corrected image is then further processed by cropping the image, identifying the format and layout of the DL, binarizing the image and extracting the content using optical character recognition (OCR). Multiple methods of image cropping may be implemented to accurately assess the borders of the DL, and a secondary layout identification process may be performed to ensure that the content being extracted is properly classified.
Abstract:
An image processing system includes an image processing apparatus and an information processing apparatus that are connected via a data communication channel. The image processing apparatus includes an execution request unit sending an execution request to request the information processing apparatus to execute an image processing function, a command reception unit receiving a control command from the information processing apparatus, and a hardware control unit controlling a hardware component of the image processing apparatus based on the received control command to perform image processing corresponding to the image processing function. The information processing apparatus includes a request reception unit receiving the execution request from the image processing apparatus, a software control unit executing a software program for implementing the image processing function based on the received execution request, and a command transmission unit sending the control command generated by the software program to the image processing apparatus.
Abstract:
A first apparatus, which does not mount any metadata generation unit generating metadata used to specify image data from the image data, and a second apparatus, which mounts the metadata generation unit, are connected via a network in the image processing system. The first apparatus stores image data. The first apparatus requests the second apparatus to generate metadata associated with the stored image data, and the metadata generation unit mounted in the second apparatus generates metadata. The first apparatus requests the second apparatus to retrieve image data using the generated metadata, and a retrieval unit mounted in the second apparatus executes a high-level retrieval.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus according to the present invention transmits first processing request data in accordance with the content of a user instruction through an operation screen displayed on a Web browser to a Web server, receives a request based on the first processing request data from the Web server, and executes processing in accordance with the received response data. Moreover, before completion of the execution of the processing, the information processing apparatus transmits second processing request data to the Web server at the timing specified by the Web server, and displays an operation screen indicating the state of the processing according to response data received from the Web server.
Abstract:
An information providing apparatus including an image processing unit, a receiving unit, a selection unit, and a transmitting unit. The image processing unit executes image processing. The receiving unit receives first operation state information indicating an operation state of a terminal apparatus from the terminal apparatus. The selection unit acquires second operation state information indicating an operation state relating to image processing being executed by the image processing unit. Upon detecting that the terminal apparatus is in a specific operation state in accordance with the first operation state information, the selection unit selects one or plural pieces of user interface information concerning image processing to be executable after the specific operation state, in accordance with the first operation state information and the second operation state information. The transmitting unit transmits the one or plural pieces of user interface information selected by the selection unit to the terminal apparatus.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus associates application information to connect to a server device and a client certificate to transmit to the server device with each other and stores therein the associated application information and client certificate. An application managing part activates a browser with designating transmission of the client certificate which is associated with the application information. The browser transmits the client certificate identified by the application managing part to the server device when a request for transmission of the client certificate is received from the server device. As the result, the image processing apparatus reduces operation load placed on a user to transmit the client certificate to the server device. Moreover, the appropriate client certificate may be transmitted to the server device without lowering efficiency in processing. So, data communication between the image processing apparatus and the server device may be established rapidly.
Abstract:
When a first remote panel accepts an operation to move a display screen, the first remote panel transmits information on the operation to a relay server. The relay server determines a destination display screen based on the received information, and transmits information on the destination display screen to each of an MFP (Multifunction Peripheral), the first remote panel, and a second remote panel. The relay server transmits data on the destination display screen to each of the first and second remote panels. After transmitting the information on the destination display screen, the relay server receives data on a neighboring screen of the destination display screen from the MFP.
