  • Patent number: 11029901
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises: a first display unit configured to display a preview screen including a preview image based on page data included in book data; a setting unit configured to set a spread attribute for laying out one page data included in the book data over a plurality of pages; and a display unit configured to display, if the page data set with the spread attribute does not satisfy a spread condition, information indicating that the spread condition is not satisfied in association with a preview image based on the page data set with the spread attribute together with the preview image based on the page data set with the spread attribute.

  • Patent number: 8390896
    Abstract: A method for image processing in which an image of a bound document such as a book placed face-down on a document positioning plate is read and processed is provided. The method includes reading the bound document through the document positioning plate, displaying the read image, the read image having at least one of a shadow portion of a bound portion and a shadow portion of an edge portion, inputting information about a direction attribute of a rectangular area of the shadow portion in the displayed image, determining the direction attribute based on the input information, and correcting a density of the rectangular area based on the determined direction attribute.

  • Patent number: 7119932
    Abstract: In an image scanning system which can scan an image in a plurality of scanning modes, and has a memory for storing a correction data file which has correction data for each of the plurality of scan modes, correction data corresponding to a scan mode of a given image scan operation is read out from the memory upon scanning an image, and an image scan is executed using the readout correction data. If correction data corresponding to the scan mode of that image scan operation is not stored in the memory, correction data corresponding to the scan mode is generated, and is stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 6204889
    Abstract: An image information processing apparatus of this invention receives an information signal, converts the input information signal into digital data, temporarily stores the converted digital data, parallel/serial-converts the temporarily stored digital data, and controls the operation of the parallel/serial processing in accordance with the contents of information indicated by the temporarily stored digital data when the parallel/serial-converted digital data is converted into an analog signal and the analog signal is transmitted onto the transmission path, thereby allowing easy transmission of image information and a control code using a smaller number of transmission path and realizing a cost reduction.
