| 20150055192 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND STORAGE MEDIUM - There is provided a technique of, in a communication apparatus capable of executing facsimile communication by a deemed voice scheme, enabling generation of a communication error to be prevented regardless of a voice encoding scheme used to encode a facsimile signal. To achieve this, a communication apparatus (first FAX apparatus) establishes a voice signal transmission session with the second FAX apparatus serving as a partner apparatus in FAX communication for FAX communication by the deemed voice scheme. The first FAX apparatus determines a voice encoding scheme which is used in the established session to encode a FAX signal into a voice signal. In accordance with the determination result, the first FAX apparatus limits modulation schemes usable in generation of the FAX signal when performing FAX communication by the deemed voice scheme. | 02-26-2015 |

| 20090141314 | IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS - An image recording apparatus includes a conveying mechanism configured to convey a recording medium in a conveying direction, and a recording unit configured to record an image on the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism when the recording medium is in a first position below the recording unit. The apparatus also includes a discharge path in which the recording medium conveyed by the conveying mechanism is conveyed from the first position to a second position which is opposite the conveying mechanism and above the recording unit. Moreover, the apparatus includes a reading unit which faces the discharge path and is positioned on a side of the recording unit. The reading unit is configured to read the image recorded on the recording medium by the recording unit. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100073731 | IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS - An image generating apparatus according to the present invention includes: a first light source unit that emits light in a first wavelength band to a subject; a second light source unit that emits light in a second wavelength band, which is a part of the first wavelength band, to the subject; an image pickup unit that picks up an image of the subject and outputs the image as an image pickup signal; a light cut filter unit that cuts light in the second wavelength band reflected from the subject; and a complementary processing unit that applies complementary processing to a component equivalent to the second wavelength band cut by the light cut filter unit in the image of the subject picked up by the image pickup unit in a state in which the subject is illuminated by the light in the first wavelength band. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100231984 | IMAGE READING METHOD AND IMAGE READING APPARATUS - This invention is made to solve the problem that the conventional method cannot correctly determine whether an original is a halftone. To solve this, a method according to this invention detects, from an original, first and second feature pixels respectively exhibiting first and second features. A first feature pixel to first feature pixel distance and second feature pixel to second feature pixel distance are calculated from neighboring first feature pixels and neighboring second feature pixels, respectively. The average of the first feature pixel to first feature pixel distance and the neighboring second feature pixel to second feature pixel distance is calculated as a feature pixel to feature pixel distance. A histogram is generated by the appearance count of only a feature pixel to feature pixel distance for which the same value successively appears. Whether the read original is a halftone is discriminated based on this histogram. | 09-16-2010 |
