  • Patent number: 11968448
    Abstract: An imaging support device that supports imaging performed by an imaging apparatus includes an acquisition portion that acquires an in-image shift amount between a predetermined position in a captured image obtained by capturing an imaging region by an imaging element and a position of a target subject image showing a target subject, and a focal length of the imaging apparatus, a derivation portion that derives a movement amount required for moving the position of the target subject image to a specific position by a position adjustment portion which adjusts the position of the target subject image in the captured image, based on the in-image shift amount acquired by the acquisition portion, the focal length acquired by the acquisition portion, and information related to a pixel interval of pixels in the imaging element, and an output portion that outputs the movement amount derived by the derivation portion.

  • Patent number: 11330138
    Abstract: An image scanning unit optically scans a document image of a document. A transportation device performs transportation of the document set at a front insertion-ejection port as an insertion port and ejection port of the document. A controller performs in a first scanning mode image scanning of a top sheet of the document if the document has been bound with a staple. In the first scanning mode, the controller performs image scanning of a partial scanning area in the top sheet while transporting the document using the transportation device, and reverses a transportation direction of the document at a time point that the image scanning of the partial scanning area is finished. The partial scanning area is from a front end to a predetermined position of the top sheet, and the predetermined position is a position nearer to the front end than a binding position of the staple.

  • Patent number: 10638001
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a specific pattern storage unit, a pattern comparing unit, a character recognizing unit, and a file generating unit. The specific pattern storage unit stores specific pattern information in which a specific pattern is registered. The pattern comparing unit compares the image data with a specific pattern that is registered in the specific pattern information by image matching and determines whether or not the specific pattern present in the image data is detected, and when detected, deletes the specific pattern from the image data and outputs pattern-deleted image data. The character recognizing unit performs an OCR process on the pattern-deleted image data, converts a character string in the pattern-deleted image data into text data, and outputs the converted text data as an OCR analysis result. The file generating unit generates document data based on the OCR analysis result.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is improved in reliability. A switching power MOSFET and a sense MOSFET for sensing a current flowing in the power MOSFET, which is smaller in area than the power MOSFET, are formed in one semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is mounted over a chip mounting portion via a conductive bonding material, and sealed in a resin. Over the main surface of the semiconductor chip, a metal plate is bonded to a source pad electrode of the power MOSFET. In the plan view, the metal plate does not overlap a sense MOSFET region where the sense MOSFET is formed. The metal plate is bonded to the source pad electrode so as to surround three of the sides of the sense MOSFET region.
