  • Publication number: 20120136608
    Abstract: A test table generating device includes a unit group input part, an upstream book analyzing part, a unit characteristic acquiring part, a unit characteristic matching part, and a test table generating section. The upstream book analyzing part analyzes an upstream book about a target unit designated by the unit group input part. The unit characteristic acquiring part acquires the unit characteristics of the target unit based on a result of the analysis. The unit characteristic matching part performs matching of the unit characteristics of the target unit, and specifies a similar unit having the same unit characteristics as those of the target unit. The test table generating section acquires a test table about the similar unit, and generates a test table about the target unit based on the acquired test table.

  • Patent number: 7599564
    Abstract: Image feature values Va and Vb are derived from image data, coefficients C and D are determined based on the image feature values Va and Vb, and an approximate expression expressed with the file size Sfj of the JPEG compression file and the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived. Next, by designating the file size of a desired predetermined JPEG compression file based on the approximate expression, the quantization data coefficient value Aqt is derived, and a first quantization table as a reference is multiplied by the quantization data coefficient value Aqt, whereby a second quantization table is obtained. Then, using the second quantization table, the image data is actually JPEG-compressed.

  • Publication number: 20060164550
    Abstract: An image equipment (40) includes an LSI (208) to control itself, and an interface (31) to connect with a ubiquitous image module unit (42) including a ubiquitous image module (12). The ubiquitous image module (12) included in the ubiquitous image module unit (42) connected to the image equipment (40) controls the LSI (208) included in the image equipment (40), so that it becomes possible to realize a new function which the image equipment (40) itself has not had. By this, it becomes unnecessary to develop a new LSI for expanding a function.
