  • Patent number: 11310384
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a document reading section, a reading controller, an image transfer section, and a transfer controller. The document reading section reads documents. The reading controller controls the document reading section so as to read document images subsequent to a first sheet independently of a command from a host apparatus. The image transfer section transfers the document images which are read by the document reading section. The transfer controller controls the image transfer section based on the number of pages of the documents, which are read by the document reading section, and the number of pages of the document images, which are transferred by the image transfer section, in a case where the document images are transferred by the image transfer section whenever the document reading section reads one sheet of document.

  • Patent number: 10917534
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a transport unit, a reader, a detector, and a controller. The transport unit transports a document. The reader reads the transported document. The detector detects whether or not a document bundle prior to being transported is present. While a document in a first document bundle corresponding to a first job is being transported, if the detector detects that a document in a second document bundle corresponding to a second job as a subsequent job is loaded, the controller actuates the transport unit until all documents in the first document bundle are output.

  • Patent number: 7979467
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a lock section, a creation section, a transmission section, a reception section, and a release section. The lock section disables an authorization function of the information processing device under a given condition. The creation section creates a first lock release file that is capable of releasing the authorization function disabled by the lock section. The transmission section transmits the first lock release file to an information management device. The reception section receives a second lock release file, which is based on the first lock release file, from the information management device. The release section tries to enable the authorization function of the information processing device when the second lock release file is determined to be valid.
