  • Publication number: 20070188802
    Abstract: An information processing methodology gives rise to an application program interface which includes an automated digitizing unit, such as a scanner, which inputs information from a diversity of hard copy documents and stores information from the hard copy documents into a memory as stored document information. Portions of the stored document information are selected in accordance with content instructions which designate portions of the stored document information required by a particular application program. The selected stored document information is then placed into the transmission format required by a particular application program in accordance with transmission format instructions. After the information has been transmission formatted, the information is transmitted to the application program. In one operational mode, the interface interactively prompts the user to identify, on a display, portions of the hard copy documents containing information used in application programs or for storage.

  • Publication number: 20020149800
    Abstract: A document transmission module is connected between a conventional document digitizing device (host unit) and a communication interface. The module receives conventional data output from its host unit and re-transmits them to a destination document transmission protocol machine in one of standard and high speed modes depending on the compatibility of the destination document transmission protocol machine. The standard mode communication employs an image data format for both text and graphics. The high speed mode distinguishes text from graphics and performs optical character recognition on suspected character information. When characters are successfully recognized, only a code, e.g. ASCII, and the location of the character is transmitted, realizing significant improvements in compression ratios over conventional data transmission. Graphics and unrecognizable characters are transmitted as bit-mapped pixels or in conventional compressed fax format.
