  • Patent number: 11620434
    Abstract: Results of character recognition processing for a scanned image of a document and a setting item set to a property attached to the scanned image of a document are obtained. Displaying on a screen having a preview area where the scanned image of a document is displayed and an editing area where information input in the setting item is edited, that is, displaying the scanned image of a document in the preview area and displaying the setting item and the information in the editing area are controlled.

  • Patent number: 11303769
    Abstract: To enable a user to easily grasp a correspondence relationship between a text block and a setting item on a UI screen having a preview pane and a property pane. In a case where an operation event of a selection operation for one of text blocks within a scanned image preview-displayed in the preview pane is detected, a label is displayed for the text block, which indicates a setting item with which the text block for which the operation event has been detected is associated among the setting items displayed in the property pane.

  • Publication number: 20180004096
    Abstract: An exposure apparatus has a stage having a substrate holder and a plate member around the substrate holder to surround a substrate on the substrate holder. A liquid supply mechanism includes a supply port above the stage at a more outward position than an optical path of light from a projection system and supplies liquid onto the stage from the supply port. A liquid recovery mechanism includes a recovery port above the stage at a more outward position than the supply port and recovers the liquid supplied from the supply port. The liquid supply and recovery mechanisms form a liquid immersion region that includes the optical path on part of the stage with the liquid supplied from the supply port. The stage has a passageway below the plate member and recovers the liquid from the liquid immersion region that infiltrates a gap between the plate member and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9846371
    Abstract: An exposure apparatus exposes a substrate by projecting a pattern image onto the substrate through a liquid. The exposure apparatus includes a projection optical system by which the pattern image is projected onto the substrate, and a movable member which is movable relative to the projection optical system. A liquid-repellent member, at least a part of a surface of which is liquid-repellent, is provided detachably on the movable member, the liquid-repellent member being different from the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9798245
    Abstract: A stage apparatus PST is provided with a holder PH, which has a substrate holding surface 33A that holds a substrate P; a stage 52, which supports and moves the holder PH; and a recovery apparatus 60, which is disposed in the vicinity of the holder PH and has lyophilic parts 3, 5 of which at least a part of each is lyophilic, that uses the lyophilic parts 3, 5 to recover a liquid 1. As a result, the infiltration of liquid into the space between the substrate and the holder is prevented, even if performing an exposure treatment by filling the space between a projection optical system and the substrate with the liquid.
