Abstract: A display device may include a cell containing a suspension fluid and at least one suspension particle dispersed within the suspension fluid. The suspension particle may be adapted to migrate in the suspension fluid under the influence of an electric field. A light waveguide layer may extend adjacent to a side of the cell. The light waveguide layer may be adapted to conduct light laterally into the cell through the side of the cell.

Abstract: A document search system including an input device configured to derive an electronic source document from an original hardcopy document, a processor configured to generate an electronic search report based on search criteria defined in relation to the electronic source document, and an output device configured to automatically present the electronic search report.

Abstract: Predetermined indicia are detected in a digital image that is formed by optical scanning. Alternatively, or in addition, a digital image can have a predefined insertion field. Input and/or an optically scanned image is substituted in the digital image for the predetermined indicia and/or for the predefined insertion field. The digital image having the substitution is rendered.

Abstract: A system and method is directed to managing digital send jobs from a digital sender device. The method includes receiving at least one digitally scanned image from the digital sender device, generating a first digital send job responsive to receiving the at least one digitally scanned image, generating at least a first proof image based on the first digital send job, and communicating the first proof image to a printing device. A computer readable medium is described which includes computer executable code to direct the reception of at least one digitally scanned image from the digital sender device, to generate a first digital send job responsive to receiving at least one digitally scanned image, to generate at least a first proof image based on the first digital send job, and to communicate the first proof image to a printing device.

Abstract: Recent years have witnessed emergence of a new family of imaging devices known as digital-image senders. These devices allow users to digitally scan a hardcopy document, and send the resulting digital image data via a communications network to other devices on the network. One problem that the present inventors recognized with these devices is that they do not provide a convenient way for users to add user-specific information to the images they send. Accordingly, the inventors teach, among other things, an exemplary method that includes providing image data, determining an identity of a user associated with a communications device, and defining a modified version of the image data, based on the determined identity of the user.

Abstract: Text that is adjacent to predetermined indicia is detected in a digital image. Alternatively, or in addition, a digital image can have text that is adjacent to a predefined insertion field. Text that is input and/or derived from an optically scanned image is substituted in the digital image for the predetermined indicia and/or for the predefined insertion field. The substituted text matches the font of text adjacent thereto in the digital image. The digital image having the substitution is rendered.

Abstract: A digital image is composed at a digital transmitter device from a hardcopy source. The digital image includes an optically scanned image. Indicia is detected on the hardcopy image. A substitute is made for the indicia in the composed digital image. A modified rendering of the digital image is output.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and a scan template including a media sheet having printed thereon a figure and a machine-readable identifier disposed on the media sheet specifying a size, shape, and location on the sheet of the figure.

Abstract: A method of an embodiment of the invention is disclosed that routes an image-forming-related job from an intended image-forming device to an alternate image-forming device. The method then displays at the intended image-forming device a location of the alternate image-forming device to which the image-forming-related job has been routed.

Abstract: Electronic paper methods and systems are described. In accordance with one embodiment, an electronic paper driver is provided and is configured to receive a document in a first format from an application and convert the document in the first format to a second format that can be used for rendering a display on electronic paper.

Abstract: A whiteboard apparatus is provided. Briefly described, one such whiteboard apparatus comprises an electronic paper display device and a writing surface. The electronic paper display device is configured to display an image. The writing surface is arranged in superimposed relationship with the electronic paper display device. The present invention may also be viewed as method. Briefly, one such method comprises the steps of: providing an electronic paper display device configured to display an image on a whiteboard; arranging a writing surface in superimposed relationship with the electronic paper display device; and displaying an image on the electronic paper display device over which a user may write on the writing surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sending documents, are provided. An embodiment of the system is configured to determine whether a user sent a copy of a document to a first set of at least one recipient; and if the user sent the copy of the document to the at least one recipient of the first set, the system is configured to correlate information with the document so that a copy of a revised version of the document can be sent automatically.
