  • Virtual rescanning: a method for interactive document image quality enhancement
    Patent number: 6370277
    Abstract: According to the present invention, an image processing system for processing scanned images using a user predefined parameters and acceptable tolerances. When a scanned image falls outside the scope of the predefined parameter tolerances, the system invokes a real-time user interactive process which involves a continuous looping back process comprising prompting the user for image setting data, loading the image data from a fast memory device such as a cache, generating processed image data and displaying the processed image data on a display terminal, prompting the user for acceptance of the processed image data. This process loops back to the beginning until the user accepts the processed image data. This invention provides the user with an efficient and time saving method of scanning documents by precluding the user having to physically reload the document into the scanner should the scanned quality be unacceptable, and an interactive method to set the attributes of a paper scanner.

  • Dynamic device driver
    Patent number: 6148346
    Abstract: A data communication system for allowing communication between various devices and various operating systems across various types of networking systems. The data communication system includes an host computer system 10 with a display device 15 and a processor 17 for generating signals for the display device, at least one peripheral device 56, and a dynamic device driver 42 for allowing two-way communication between the peripheral device and the host computer system. The dynamic device driver includes an operating system specific portion 33, configured for the operating system of the host computer system, and an operating system independent device driver portion 34, configured for the peripheral device. The operating system includes a linking mechanism 19 for allowing two-way communication between the operating system specific portion and the operating system independent device driver portion, thus allowing two-way communication between the processor and the peripheral device.
