Patent number: 7542615Abstract: This invention has as its object to detect an image area of interest in an image file by a method with a lighter processing load by making determination using characteristics of a quantization table. Since spatial frequency information, chromaticity information, and a quantization table are acquired for respective predetermined blocks from inputted compressed image data, and are used in combination upon searching the compression-recorded image data for an image of interest, information containing AC component information for each image data block is acquired without any advanced calculations, thus searching for the image of interest in the image file.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2008Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Mizoguchi, Naohisa Suzuki

Patent number: 7430660Abstract: A data transmission system where an image providing device and a printer are directly connected by a 1394 serial bus, a command is sent from the image providing device to the printer, then a response to the command is returned from the printer to the image providing device. Image data is sent from the image providing device to the printer based on information included in the response. The printer converts the image data outputted from the image providing device into print data. Thus, printing can be performed without a host computer by directly connecting the image providing device and the printer by the 1394 serial bus or the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2004Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koji Fukunaga, Naohisa Suzuki, Kiyoshi Katano, Jiro Tateyama, Atsushi Nakamura, Makoto Kobayashi

Patent number: 7356190Abstract: An image area of interest in an image file can be detected by a method with a relatively light processing load by making a determination using characteristics of a quantization table. Since spatial frequency information, chromaticity information, and a quantization table are acquired for respective predetermined blocks from inputted compressed image data, and are used in combination upon searching the compression-recorded image data for an image of interest, information containing AC component information for each image data block is acquired without any advanced calculations, thus searching for the image of interest in the image file.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Mizoguchi, Naohisa Suzuki

Patent number: 7062579Abstract: In a system where a digital still camera 1101 is connected to a printer 1102 on a 1394 serial bus, when the digital still camera 1101 as a data transfer originator node transfers image data to the printer 1102 as a data transfer destination node, the printer 1102 sends information on the data processing capability of the printer 1102 to the digital still camera 1101 prior to data transfer. The digital still camera 1101 determines the block size of image data to be transferred in accordance with the data processing capability of the printer 1102, and sends image data of the block size to the printer 1102. The information indicates the capacity of a memory of the printer for storing print data, or the printing capability of a printer engine, i.e., printing resolution, printing speed and the like. Thus, data transfer is always efficiently performed regardless of the data processing capability of the printer 1102.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1998Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jiro Tateyama, Naohisa Suzuki, Koji Fukunaga, Kiyoshi Katano, Atsushi Nakamura, Makoto Kobayashi

Patent number: 6963938Abstract: If a block read cannot be used to read out from a configuration ROM information, the number of times of issue of a quadlet read request increases. This degrades the processing efficiently of a device that issues the request. In addition, the bus occupation ratio of a 1394 serial bus by the request becomes high, and the speed of processing through the 1394 serial bus decreases. To solve these problems, information stored in the configuration ROM area of a device is read out, and it is determined on the basis of the readout information that configuration information identical to the configuration ROM information is stored in an address area (block readable area) different from the configuration ROM area, the offset is changed, and the configuration information is read out from the address area different from the configuration ROM area.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2001Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naohisa Suzuki, Atsushi Nakamura

Publication number: 20030156129Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises: a memory to store emulation information which is designated from a host computer that is connected to a printer via a general parallel interface; a judging circuit to judge a delimiter of print data; and a control unit to switch the emulation on the basis of the emulation information stored in the memory and the result of the judgment by the judging circuit. When each section of the apparatus is in the inoperative state, they are set into the power saving mode and are sequentially controlled. Thus, the power saving of the whole apparatus can be realized.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 1992Publication date: August 21, 2003Inventors: TSUTOMU TAKAHASHI, NAOHISA SUZUKI, KOJI FUKUNAGA, JIRO TATEYAMA, JUN OIDA
