Abstract: An image having no secrecy is printed on a non-secret information display area of an original paper, whereas an image having secrecy, which should be originally printed, is not printed on a secret image display area. When the original paper is copied on a printing paper, an image read from the original paper is printed on a secret image display area, whereas a secret image is printed on a non-secret information display area only when an access operation to the secret image is authenticated.

Abstract: Information indicating an area of an image and information indicating attributes of the image have been stored in an IC chip attached to an original paper. When a copying apparatus performs a character recognition process operation with respect to an image displayed on the original paper, the copying apparatus reads the information related to the area of the image and the information related to the attribute of this area from the IC chip attached to this original paper. Then the copying apparatus separates an area where a character is displayed therefrom. The copying apparatus executes the character recognition process operation with respect to the image of the separated area.

Abstract: A printing unit of a copying apparatus forms an image on a printing paper by way of an electrophotographing system in response to an operation executed with respect to a UI apparatus. A postprocessing unit of the copying apparatus staples a staple needle holding an IC chip to the printing paper on which the image is formed. Then, the postprocessing unit writes data input from the UI apparatus into the IC chip held by the staple needle.

Abstract: When a printing paper to which an IC chip storing secret information is attached is discarded, a shredder applied voltage to the IC chip by a discharging unit to destroy the IC chip and to make it impossible to read the secret information therefrom. Thereafter, a shredding cutter shreds the printing paper and the shred printing paper is discarded.

Abstract: An UI section receives a printing parameter set by a user. A data reading section reads a printing parameter from an original paper. An image reading section reads an image from the original paper. When an IC chip has been attached to the original paper, a parameter selecting section selects a printing parameter thereof, whereas in other cases, the parameter selecting section selects a printing parameter, which is set by the user. An image processing section and a printing control section execute an image processing operation and a printing operation in accordance with the selected printing parameter.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an IC chip IF, which is located in the vicinity of an original base where original papers are stored. Under a condition that the original papers are put on the original base, the image forming apparatus reads data from an IC chip attached to one sheet or more sheets of these original papers put on the original base and then, processes image data read from the original paper on the basis of the data read from the IC chip.

Abstract: When two or more sheets of images, which have been read from two or more sheets of originals are printed on a single sheet of first printing paper, original information related to the originals is stored into an IC chip attached to the first printing paper. Thereafter, when a user desires to reproduce the originals by using this first printing paper, the original information stored in the IC chip is read therefrom. Based on the read original information, the images read from the originals are printed respectively in the same sizes as those of the respective originals.

Abstract: An UI section accepts operation of a user. A setting selection section judges as to whether this user operation instructs a process operation executed in accordance with setting information of an IC chip attached to an original document, or another process operation executed in accordance with setting information entered by the user. In the former case, an operation control section controls a data reading section so as to read out the setting information from the IC chip attached to the original document, and also, controls a print control section to perform printing/FAX transforming operations in accordance with this read setting information. In the latter case, an operation control section controls a data writing section in order to write the setting information entered by the user into the IC chip.

Abstract: A method and system for graphic state processing in which a graphic state object separate from a graphic contains state information. The state object can be accessed during times other than drawing. The object is comprised of sub-states which represent particular graphic processing states. A graphic need only send the graphic hierarchy, and the graphic state object automatically takes care of the sending of the graphic states to the rendering device. The graphic state object is an entity separate from the graphic which is to be drawn.

Abstract: A system and method providing a cursor tool framework and tool server with support for multiple cursors on any given system, and supporting the selection of a cursor tool using a cursor. The framework and server facilitate the association of cursor tools to a cursor in a process-independent space such that tools can be used cross-process and cross-document. The framework also provides default functionality for communication among cursor tools and the canvas on which they are used. This high degree of interaction allows any cursor tool and any document to function together such that the cursor tool can be written without the participation of the document developer.

Abstract: An object-oriented document architecture provides system level support for document processing features from within an active document utilizing a novel technique termed a proxy. A proxy integrates external document management functions simultaneously and seamlessly into the standard operating system document processing commands. The system utilizes a revolutionary object-oriented framework system to provide an interface facilitating document access and editing functions from within a document or other active application.

Abstract: An object-oriented printing system includes objects that provide query, data transfer, and control methods. The inventive object-oriented printing system communicates with the remainder of the operating system by means of a standard interface such as a grafport and printer drivers are provided for each printer type within the operating system. Thus, an application not only need not worry about the particular printer/computer combination with which it is to operate, but also need not have a built in document formatting capability. The printing system includes objects that provide queries for device identification, optimized imaging, and printer status. Other objects are also provided for data transfer to bracket connections prior to sending and receiving information. Still other objects are provided for canceling a print job, pausing a job, and clearing out a job. Finally, an object is also provided for supporting multiple streams of communication to an imaging task.

Abstract: An object-oriented compound document architecture provides system level support for document processing features. The object-oriented compound document framework supports a variety of document processing functions. The framework provides system level support of collaboration, linking, eternal undo, and content based retrieval, among other things. System level support is provided for document changes, annotation through model and linking, anchors, model hierarchies, enhanced copy and pasting, command objects, and a generic retrieval framework.

Abstract: An operating system software architecture, implemented in an object-oriented design, supports and processes color. The object-oriented design has two levels, one being a class (TColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and being a container class containing calibrated colors, the other being a class (TDeviceColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and a container class containing uncalibrated colors. Several calibrated color classes including a class (TXYZColor) defining XYZ color space descend directly from class (TColor), several uncalibrated color classes including a class (TRGBColor) descending directly from class (TDeviceColor), a class (TColorGamut) storing color gamut information of peripheral devices that may interface with the architecture, and a class (TColorProfile) storing tonal reproduction curves of the peripheral devices provide data structures, together with method functions for various color processing.
