Patent number: 9361555Abstract: A method of rendering a graphical object (e.g., 801) on a page (800), is disclosed. A region of the page containing the graphical object (801) is marked as output incompatible based on the graphical object (801) being output incompatible. A bounding box comprising the marked region is determined. A proportion of a number of the regions marked as output incompatible are determined to a total number of regions in the bounding box. A further region within the bounding box is marked as output incompatible to increase the determined proportion above a threshold. The graphical object in the marked region and the further marked region is converted into an output compatible graphical object if the determined proportion is above the threshold. The output compatible graphical object is rendered.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Alexander Will, Thomas Benjamin Sanjay Thomas, Delilah Gloria Slack-Smith, Cuong Hung Cao, Sheng Wu

Patent number: 9147138Abstract: A method of rendering an image as a plurality of bands is disclosed. A plurality of edge tracking conditions for at least one of the bands is determined, the edge tracking conditions comprising waiting for at least one other band. A plurality of distinct rendering schedules is determined for the image, each rendering schedule specifying an edge tracking condition for each of the bands, the edge tracking condition for each band being selected from the corresponding plurality of edge tracking conditions for the band. A cost for a rendering schedule is determined. The rendering schedule cost is based on an edge tracking condition specified for each of the bands using a tracking cost of edges associated with the band through at least one intermediate band positioned between the band and the band specified in the edge tracking condition. The image is rendered in accordance with a selected rendering schedule, the rendering schedule being selected based on the cost determined for the rendering schedule.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Alexander Will

Patent number: 8510645Abstract: Disclosed is a method of applying a function to a set of data. Initially a tabular representation of the set of data is displayed, the representation comprising a plurality of columns. The data in the representation is grouped in each column based upon an order of the at least one column in the tabular representation. The method also generates a new column of data comprising a transform of existing column data contained in the tabular representation, wherein transform data within the new column depends upon a grouping context of the existing column data. Desirably the method further repositions the new column of data in the tabular representation and updates the transform data in the new column in accordance with a destination grouping context of a destination position of the new column in the tabular representation.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Joel Timothy Beach, Alexander Will
