Abstract: A document data input system for a scanner capable of storing scanner data to another buffer memory of a microprocessor when applying the scanned data to a host computer. The document data input system comprises a host computer for storing scanned data to its internal hard disk, a scanner for scanning the document data, a scanner interface unit for interfacing between the host computer and the scanner, a microprocessor associated with a global memory and a local memory, and an interface unit for latching the data from the scanner interface unit and applying the data to the microprocessor, and applying a completion signal to the scanner interface unit when the data input to the microprocessor is completed.

Abstract: A document acknowledge system comprising horizontal/vertical-run length smoothing algorithm circuits in which a horizontal-run length smoothing algorithm (H-RLSA) and a vertical-run length smoothing algorithm (V-RLSA) are performed by hardware and a document region divide circuit for dividing a document region in which the smoothed data is logical-produced by hardware. Therefore, the horizontal-run length smoothing algorithm circuit can smooth horizontal data not with software executed by a microprocessor, but with hardware, the horizontal data stored by scanning a document horizontally. Also, the vertical-run length smoothing algorithm circuit can smooth vertical data not with software executed by a microprocessor, but with hardware, the vertical data stored by scanning the document vertically. Moreover, the document region divide circuit can divide a document region in which the smoothed data is logical-produced by hardware.
