Abstract: The present invention relates to a scanning method, more particularly, to a two-directions scanning method by using a user interface (UI). At first, a scanning mode is chosen and the first dpi (dots per inch) of the preview procedure is set in the user interface. Then an instruction is keyed in the user interface to make a scan head move along the first scanning direction by using the first dpi and start the first scanning procedure. The first scanning procedure is a preview procedure. After finishing the first scanning procedure, a user can view the first image, which is got from the first scanning procedure, on a monitor and the scan head moves along the second scanning direction by using the second dpi to start the second scanning procedure. The second image data, which is got from the second scanning procedure, is saved in a memory. The second dpi is usually the highest dpi of the scan head.

Abstract: A method for correcting magnification in a photographic device is disclosed in this present invention. The point of this invention is that the magnification ratio of a photographic device is saved into a nonvolatile memory and read out for correcting the magnification in the photographic device, so that the image with correct dimension can be output from the photographic device. Therefore, this invention can provide a more efficient method for correcting magnification in a photographic device, and the quality of the image captured by the photographic device can be improved thereby.

Abstract: A circuit apparatus of extending General Purpose Input Output pins, which includes a control processing unit, a memory, and a buffer. Wherein, data pins of the control processing unit is coupled to memory pins of the memory and those in the buffer. Input signals can be temporarily stored in the buffer when the buffer is used as a buffer for inputting signals. And the buffer can feed input signals into the control processing unit while the memory is being recharged. Likewise, if the buffer is used as a buffer for outputting signals, the buffer can receive output signals (So) from the control processing unit and output those signals while the memory is being refreshed.

Abstract: A compensating light source capable of compensating for the light intensity attenuation caused by the optical path and the designing method. First, a number of the predetermined light sources, which have uniform luminance, are chosen to respectively illuminate a chart with a uniform gray scale and produce a number of scanning light beams with respect to these predetermined light sources. After that, the scanning light beams are collected and focused to form an image on the optical sensing devices with respect to a number of image pixels. These image pixels can produce a number of sensing voltages with respect to the predetermined light sources. The tube dimensions of these predetermined light sources are relative to the sensing voltages of the predetermined light sources to form relative data. The relative data and the sensing voltages with respect to the selected predetermined light source are used to design a compensating light source. Then, a check action is performed.

Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) light source control method is disclosed. The light-emitting diode light source control method is used for controlling a composite and a single color LED light source. The composite color LED light source can provide two of the three original red, green and blue color lights and the single color LED light source provides the third original color. The composite and the single color LED light sources provide illuminations sequentially so that the light sources need not to be turned on continually and the data generated by the composite and the single color lights on the red, green and blue channels of image sensors can be processed sequentially.

Abstract: An automatic photograph producer and an operating method of the producer. The automatic photograph producer is incorporated into a four-in-one multi-function machine that includes a printer, a scanner, a photocopier and a facsimile. The automatic photograph producer comprises a platform, a top panel, a penetrating light source and a printer. The platform is a place for holding transparencies. One end of the top panel couples with one end of the platform. The penetrating light source is above the top panel for sending light to the transparency on the platform during scanning. The printer prints out an image of the scanned transparency onto a photographic paper.
