  • Patent number: 11288500
    Abstract: A scan system that reads amount information from a scanned receipt and performs reporting, displays a first area in which a content read from the receipt is displayed and a second area in which an image of the scanned receipt is displayed when a scan of the receipt is completed, hides at least one of the first area and the second area displayed on a display upon receiving an operation of a user, and displays at least one of the hidden first area and second area upon receiving an operation of the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7558524
    Abstract: There are provided an original table for an original, a linear image sensor for converting light into an electric signal, a first optical system for forming an optical image on a main scanning line onto the linear image sensor, a sub scanning unit for scanning the main scanning line in parallel with a sub scanning direction, and a second optical system forming an optical path that reaches the linear image sensor from a detecting position on the plate surface, which is remote from the main scanning line in a sub scanning direction. A size and an orientation of an original are decided based on an electric signal converted from light that reaches the linear image sensor from the main scanning line via the first optical system, and an electric signal converted from light that reaches the linear image sensor from the detecting position via the second optical system.

  • Patent number: 7355764
    Abstract: There are provided an original table (11) for an original, a linear image sensor (20) for converting light into an electric signal, a first optical system (30) for forming an optical image on a main scanning line onto the linear image sensor, a sub scanning unit for scanning the main scanning line in parallel with a sub scanning direction, and a second optical system (40) forming an optical path that reaches the linear image sensor from a detecting position (P) on the plate surface (12), which is remote from the main scanning line in a sub scanning direction. A size and an orientation of an original are decided based on an electric signal converted from light that reaches the linear image sensor from the main scanning line via the first optical system, and an electric signal converted from light that reaches the linear image sensor from the detecting position via the second optical system.
