  • Patent number: 11410286
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines, for an image to be processed including a first region having a first image quality and a second region other than the first region having a second image quality lower than the first image quality, whether or not a difference in image quality between the first image quality and the second image quality is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, converts, in a case where the determination unit determines that the difference between the first image quality and the second image quality is equal to or larger than the predetermined value, the image of the second region into an image having a third image quality higher than the second image quality, and generates a combined image by using the post-conversion image having the third image quality and the image of the first region.

  • Patent number: 8582126
    Abstract: A design support method of verifying control on a device of an image forming apparatus registers, in a storage device, trigger information for specifying a content of control to be executed when a start condition for switching the control state of the device is satisfied (S1002). The apparatus then registers, in the storage device, the allowable range of the state change of the device due to control switched when the start condition is satisfied (S1003). The apparatus then verifies whether the state change of the device due to the control switched when the start condition is satisfied falls outside the allowable range, by referring to the operation state of the device which is input through an input unit, and the trigger information registered in the storage device (S1004).
