Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image reading device, a storage device, and a control unit. The image reading device reads an image on a sheet. The storage device stores information. The control unit that determines a detection area of an encoded image based on a teacher image which is an image read from a predetermined teacher sheet by the image reading device, records information indicating the detection area in the storage device, detects an encoded image in the detection area among the images read from a sheet to be read after the teacher sheet, and decodes the detected encoded image.

Abstract: Objects (D1, D2) as meeting materials are displayed on a display (105) of a table-shaped image display device (A). In the event of a competition over an object by multiple participants, for example, when meeting participants (P1, P2) discuss over a common object (D2), the competition is detected automatically, and the object is enlarged and displayed so that the participants of the discussion can easily see.

Abstract: On a table type image display device A, a display (105) displays objects D1, D2 as materials of business discussion. For example, when participants P1 and P2 of the discussion speak according to the common object D2, i.e., when a conflict between a plurality of participants occurs for an object the conflict is automatically detected and the object is separated for display so that the participants can easily view the object.

Abstract: A facsimile machine for transmitting an image. The facsimile machine includes: an endless-belt shape writing member on which the image is to be written; a writing frame for exposing a portion of said writing member to outside of the facsimile machine; a conveyer for conveying the image holding member for at least a size of the writing frame at one time; an optical reader for reading the image on the image holding member at the writing frame portion in which the reading generates image signals corresponding the image; a transmitting circuit for transmitting the image signals to a transmission address; and a receiving circuit for receiving information signals from other facsimile machine.
