Publication number: 20200167067Abstract: When an image to be displayed is a scrollable image that can be scrolled while being displayed on a display device (21) of an information processing apparatus (1), a display controller (12) stores a position in the scrollable image, of an image being displayed in a display region of the display device (21) at the time that the operation receiver has received a scroll start instruction, in a HDD (24) as a scroll start position. The display controller (12) also returns an image in the scrollable image currently displayed in the display region at the time that a return instruction has been received, to an image that was displayed in the display region when the start instruction, corresponding to the scroll start position stored in the HDD (24), was received.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2018Publication date: May 28, 2020Applicant: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Ken NISHIO

Patent number: 10503993Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit performs OCR processing by identifying a specified area of image data as a detection area, detecting line images contained in the detection area, and analyzing the detected line images to identify a character represented by the line images. Furthermore, when failing to identify a character represented by the line images in the OCR processing, the control unit determines whether the line images represent a part of a character and, upon determination that the line images represent a part of a character, expands the detection area in a direction where the other part of the character to be identified is assumed to be present and performs the OCR processing again on the expanded detection area.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Ken Nishio

Patent number: 10216462Abstract: The display device includes a mode shift control unit, a storage control unit, and a display control unit. The mode shift control unit performs such control that if a first condition is satisfied in a first mode, a display screen is not displayed and the first mode shifts to a second mode, and that if a second condition is satisfied in the second mode, the display screen is displayed and the second mode shifts to the first mode. The display control unit performs such control that when the second mode shifts to the first mode by the mode shift control unit, as information displayed on the display screen, an entry of the first setting stored in the storage section is displayed for the first setting and an entry of an initial setting is displayed for the second setting.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: KYOCERA DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS INC.Inventor: Ken Nishio

Patent number: 7940412Abstract: An image forming apparatus which includes: a job storage unit for storing a plurality of print jobs; an image forming unit for executing the print jobs stored in the job storage unit; and a job managing unit for managing an execution order of the print jobs performed by the image forming unit. The job managing unit includes: priority job managing portion which, during execution of a specific print job carried out according to an execution order set in advance, manages the image forming unit to suspend the specific print job and preferentially to execute another print job; and job continuation judging portion which, when completing a priority print job that is executed by the priority job managing portion, judges whether or not to continue execution of the specific print job based on a job execution state of the specific print job that is being executed when starting the priority print job.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Keisaku Matsumae, Toshiyuki Nakade, Seiji Onishi, Ken Nishio

Publication number: 20070206230Abstract: An image processor has an image scanning unit, a memory, an address specification unit, a scan control unit, and a transmission control unit. The image scanning unit is configured to scan an original image. The memory is configured to store image data scanned by the image scanning unit. The address specification unit is able to specify a plurality of addresses of different protocols as multi-address destination. The scan control unit controls the image data scanned by the image scanning unit. The transmission control unit is configured to generate an image data from an image data stored in the memory, such that the image data has an image quality that is appropriate for the protocol corresponding to each of the addresses specified by the address specification unit, and transmit the image data to each of the addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2007Publication date: September 6, 2007Applicant: KYOCERA MITA CORPORATIONInventors: Ken Nishio, Toshiyuki Nakade, Seiji Onishi, Keisaku Matsumae

Patent number: 5709377Abstract: Special sheets to be handled differently from normal sheets are accommodated in a specific sheet feeding deck such that a predetermined operation or presentation associated with reproduction procedure is permitted or prohibited for the special sheets in the specific sheet feeding deck. For example, if the production of two-sided copies is prohibited for a specific sheet feeding deck which accommodates sheets to be used again, the sheets are not automatically selected during the production of two-sided copies even if they are of the same size as a document original. This ensures erroneous handling is prevented, such as image forming on both sides of the special sheets in the specific sheet feeding deck.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 1996Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignee: Mita Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiki Yoshioka, Yoshiyuki Fujiwara, Ken Nishio
