Patent number: 8881098Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes plural module creating units, plural wrapper creating units, an extracting unit, a calling unit, and an argument processing unit. The module creating units create processing modules that are obtained by instantiating different types of image processing classes by using functions. The wrapper creating units create wrappers that call the module creating units and that pass arguments specified in a pointer form to the module creating units. The extracting unit extracts, from image processing information, class names of the image processing classes corresponding to the individual processing modules and the arguments unique to the image processing classes. The calling unit converts the extracted class names and calls the wrapper creating units to which the converted class names are given. The argument processing unit stores the extracted arguments in an array, specifies an initial address of the array, and passes the initial address to the created wrappers.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventor: Noriaki Seki

Publication number: 20120081738Abstract: A job execution system includes one or more transmission apparatuses and a job receiving apparatus. The one or more transmission apparatuses add identification information for identifying a group of jobs to be executed in succession to a job and transmit an execution request of the job. The job receiving apparatus receives the transmitted execution request of the job. The job receiving apparatus includes a job queue and a job registration unit. The job registration unit makes a correspondence between the received execution request and the identification information, and registers said received execution request and said identification information in the job queue. When the received execution request has the same identification information which is previously registered in the job queue, the job registration unit registers the received execution request immediately after another execution request of a job having the same identification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventor: Noriaki SEKI

Patent number: 7663779Abstract: When the size output for an image is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value (e.g., index printing), a printing apparatus performs an image expansion/reduction process by using an interpolation method whereby high speed processing is enabled while an inferior image quality is provided, or when the output size is greater than a predetermined value (e.g., the normal printing of a single sheet), employs an interpolation method for a high quality image to perform the expansion/reduction. Further, when the output image size is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the printing apparatus 1 skips the noise reduction process and the sharpening process to increase the processing speed.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2003Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Nagao, Noriaki Seki, Yoshiharu Hibi, Masaru Okutsu, Makoto Sasaki
