If the determination unit determines that there is a set of a size and an orientation of a document of which the orientation cannot be correctly determined, the control unit sets, as selection unit selection candidates, candidates obtained by excluding the set of the size and the orientation of the document of which the orientation cannot be correctly determined from the candidates of the sets of the sizes and the orientations of the plurality of documents. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409566 | READING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE READING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A reading device includes a visible light source to irradiate a subject with light having a visible wavelength; an invisible light source to irradiate the subject with light having an invisible wavelength; first and second image sensors to receive reflected light from the subject being irradiated with the light having the visible wavelength and the light having the invisible wavelength, and circuitry. The first image sensor generates visible image data containing a first invisible component, and the second image sensor generates invisible image data of a second invisible component. The circuitry removes the first invisible component contained in the visible image data using the invisible image data. The circuitry multiplies the invisible image data with the correction coefficient that absorbs an individual variation in removal of the first invisible component, and the correction coefficient is generated based on the visible image data and the invisible image. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409567 | COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING IMAGE FILE RETRIEVED ACCORDING TO FILE PATH - A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable control program instructions configured to, when executed, cause an information processing device to obtain an image file, store the image file in association with related information, generate a file path for the image file, the file path including a plurality of virtual directories based on the related information, the plurality of virtual directories belonging to respective different hierarchical layers, and in response to receiving, from browser program instructions stored in the information processing device, a request for one or more virtual directories belonging to a first lower layer that is hierarchically one level lower than a specified virtual directory in a top layer, retrieve and send the one or more virtual directories to the browser program instructions, thereby enabling the browser program instructions to display the retrieved one or more virtual directories belonging to the first lower layer. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409568 | RESPONSE DELAY TIME DETERMINATION TO MAINTAIN LONG POLLING CONNECTION - An image forming apparatus and method for determining a response delay time for maintaining a long polling connection are provided. In an example, the image forming apparatus includes a communication device to communicate with an external device, a processor, and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The processor may execute the instructions to request the external device for a response about whether a job to be performed by the image forming apparatus is present based on a response delay time for long polling the external device by the image forming apparatus. The processor may also execute the instructions to detect an error from the response, adjust the response delay time, and determine a final response delay time for maintaining connection of the long polling by re-adjusting the adjusted response delay time based on a result of performing the long polling based on the adjusted response delay time. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409569 | IMAGE READING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE READING METHOD THAT PERFORM IMAGE PROCESSING FOR EACH AREA - Provided is an image reading system capable of improving the image quality of a document in which text and images are mixed in the same page. A camera captures a document in page units to obtain captured image data. A document reading unit is an image scanner having a higher resolution than the camera. An area classifying unit classifies the captured image data captured by the camera into areas for each content. An area selecting unit selects, for each classified area, whether to output captured image data based on the area classification and the state of the captured image data. An image processing unit processes the captured image data or the scanned image data for each area, and outputs or deletes the data as area data. The document output unit collects the processed area data, reconstructs the data into document data, and outputs the document data. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409570 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a scanner and a control unit. The scanner reads an image formed on a sheet, generates image data at a reading resolution, then stores the image data in a storage unit at a recording resolution. The control unit combines a reading direction image with the stored image data to generate synthesized image data, then records the synthesized image data in the storage unit. The control unit determines a position and size for the reading direction image in a synthesized image corresponding to the synthesized image data based upon the reading resolution and recording resolution. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409571 | APPARATUS AND METHOD - An apparatus prints images for a density adjustment on a plurality of sheets, reads the image on a sheet printed later among the plurality of printed sheets, determines a representative value by carrying out a calculation from at least a first density value read from an image at a predetermined position on a first sheet and a second density value read from an image at the predetermined position on a second sheet, which are printed later, and performs a print density adjustment using the determined representative density and a target density. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409572 | IMAGE PRINTING - An image file is prepared for printing. The image file is received. The image file includes a cell having pixels. A pixel of the pixels of the cell corresponds with a command to apply a print substance to a medium. For the pixel, the command to apply the print substance is selectively replaced with a command to not apply the print substance. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409573 | METHOD AND IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE FOR ANONYMIZING A DIGITAL COLOUR IMAGE - A method for anonymizing a digital colour image comprising obtaining the digital colour image, and applying a linear random function to a respective colour vector representing colour components of a respective pixel of the digital colour image to obtain a monochrome image. The linear random function varies over the pixels of the digital colour image, and is further dependent on at least one random parameter. | 2021-12-30 |
| 20210409574 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus comprises a printer engine and a sensor that performs color measuring of tone correction patches printed on a sheet, the patches including at least a set of first color tone correction patches and a set of second color tone correction patches. The printing apparatus controls to cause, when the tone correction patches are to be printed on sheets respectively having a predetermined size, the printer engine to print the sets of the first and second color tone correction patches on first and second sheets, respectively, and executes control such that, in a case where the first sheet and the second sheet are printed one after another, a color measurement result of the tone correction patches printed on the first sheet and the second sheet are used in correcting image data for printing. | 2021-12-30 |
