Patent number: 9787857Abstract: A display control apparatus is configured to display on a display unit a user interface screen for an image data generating apparatus configured to generate image data using an image sensor. The display control apparatus includes a setting acquiring unit which is configured to acquire a setting value for generating the image data, a display determining unit which is configured to determine whether to display an update reception screen based on the acquired setting value, a display control unit which is configured to display the update reception screen on the display unit if the display determining unit determines to display the update reception screen, and is configured not to display the update reception screen on the display unit if the display determining unit determines not to display the update reception screen, and an instruction receiving unit which is configured to receive the update instruction through the update reception screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: BROTHER KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Mayumi Kuraya

Patent number: 8989489Abstract: In a control apparatus, a controller operates as: identifying a reading condition instructed for reading an image from a document; and determining a method of an analysis processing, the identifying including identifying a reading section instructed to read an image from the document. If an identified reading condition satisfies a first condition including that an identified reading section is a first reading section configured to read an image from a document while maintaining the document to be stationary, a first analysis processing configured to extract a first type region from a read out image is determined. If the identified reading condition satisfies a second condition including that the identified reading section is a second reading section configured to read an image from the document while conveying the document, a second analysis processing configured to extract a second type region from the read out image is determined.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Mayumi Kuraya

Patent number: 8922842Abstract: A controlling device may cause a scan performing unit to perform either a first type of scan or a second type of scan. In the first type of scan, a document may be moved with respect to optical elements while the optical elements are not moved, and in a second type of scan, the optical elements are moved with respect to the document while the document is not moved. The controlling device may judge that a first type of analysis is to be performed on scan data in a case where one type of scan is performed, and judge that the first type of analysis is not to be performed in a case where the other type of scan is performed. The controlling device may determine an output resolution by utilizing a result of the first type of analysis, and create a file including image data indicating the output resolution.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mayumi Kuraya, Tomohiko Hasegawa
