20110110599 | DOCUMENT IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS, DOCUMENT IMAGE GENERATION METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A character is recognized from an original document image that is obtained, for example, by an image reading apparatus. And a natural language processing is performed on a document configured from the recognized characters. Thus, a translation (supplementary annotation) for a word or a phrase in the document is obtained. Then, a supplementary annotation added document image is generated with an original document image layer configured from an original document image on which a supplementary annotation text layer is superimposed. In the supplementary annotation text layer, the translation is placed at a position corresponding to a position in an interline space near the word or the phrase. Furthermore, in addition to a translation, an underline is placed for a discontinuous phrase. | 05-12-2011 |
20110173080 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SERVER, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, DATA COMMUNICATION METHOD, CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - An electronic device is provided which is capable of displaying an advertisement at an appropriate timing on a second display panel different from a first display panel. The electronic device includes: a storage device for storing therein application software and first information associated with the software for specifying a server; a display control unit for displaying an operation screen of the software on a liquid crystal panel based on launch of the software; a detecting unit for detecting that an input for operating the software has been received; a generating unit for generating, based on the detection, a signal to be transmitted to the advertisement server specified by the first information; a transmitting unit for transmitting the generated signal to the advertisement server; and a receiving unit for receiving, based on the transmission, advertisement image data indicating an advertisement from the advertisement server. The display control unit displays the advertisement that is based on the advertisement image data, on a liquid crystal panel. | 07-14-2011 |
20110209044 | DOCUMENT IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS, DOCUMENT IMAGE GENERATING METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - It is expected to provide a document image generating apparatus, a document image generating method and a computer program that can keep a layout of original text present in the original text image and then can improve the readability of original text and the readability annotation corresponding to the original text (e.g., translation). | 08-25-2011 |
20120102393 | DOCUMENT GENERATING APPARATUS, DOCUMENT GENERATING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A ruby character is displayed in an appropriate display form corresponding to characteristics of a layout of a document intended for giving of ruby characters. In a document generating apparatus, a storage portion stores information on a layout of a document as document layout data, a unification judging portion reads the document layout data stored in the storage portion, and a ruby character setting portion judges unification of a layout of the whole document based on the read document layout data to set a display form of a ruby character based on a judgment result by the unification judging portion. | 04-26-2012 |
20120117461 | DOCUMENT GENERATING APPARATUS, DOCUMENT GENERATING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A document with a supplementary explanation in which a supplementary explanation character string is given in a ruby form in a character size which conforms to a character size of a document is easily, effectively generated. Information on a character size of a character in a character area is stored; the information on the character size is read to correct the information on the character size for each character area based on a character size of each character area; one character area is divided based on information on the corrected character size; information on a display form of a supplementary explanation character string is generated based on the information on the corrected character size when information on a character size is corrected for a character in a character area made by division; and a document with a supplementary explanation is generated based on the information on the display form. | 05-10-2012 |
20120269438 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - The object of this invention is to provide an image processing apparatus in which, in processing of a document image read by a document reading device, an inclination of a character string in the document image which is recognized in character recognition is obtained more accurately. The image processing apparatus includes a similar character extraction portion which extracts and outputs a character group comprised of characters having a shape and a size that are same with or similar to each other from among characters constituting a character string comprised of a character recognized in optical character recognition from a document image read by a document reading device; and an inclination calculation portion which calculates an inclination value of the character string based on position information of each character of the character group output from the similar character extraction portion. | 10-25-2012 |
