Publication number: 20220377199Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access a window of pixels corresponding to print data. The print data may specify printing of a plurality of pixels based on an original document image and image-independent print data. The apparatus may identify a first pixel, from among the window of pixels, corresponding to the image-independent print data, determine a characteristic associated with the window of pixels, determine, based on the characteristic, that the image-independent print data is to specify printing of a second pixel from among the window of pixels. The apparatus may cause the image-independent print data to specify printing of the second pixel based on the determination that the image-independent print data is to specify printing of the second pixel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2019Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Bradley R. LARSON

Patent number: 10210642Abstract: Information relating to a user input to edit a portion of an image is received,A where the image is divided into a plurality of tiles. In response to the received information, at least one further tile in a representation of the edit is created. A data structure including entries that link the plurality of tiles and the at least one further tile is created. The at least one further tile with the plurality of tiles are combined to produce an output page that includes the image with the edit applied to the image.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Perry V Lea, Steven Holland, Bradley R Larson, John D Wilcox, Jr.
