  • Publication number: 20220303397
    Abstract: A conveying device can selectively execute discharge processes of a plurality of discharge procedures each having a different mode of discharge to a discharge tray. An image reading portion reads images on document sheets conveyed along a conveyance path and outputs data about read images. An image reading control method includes detecting a target image that satisfies a predetermined sorting condition associated with any one of the plurality of discharge procedures from the read images. The image reading control method further includes, in a case where the target image is detected, executing a discharge control that causes the conveying device to execute the discharge process of the discharge procedure corresponding to the target image.

  • Patent number: 11403798
    Abstract: Efficiency of work for laying out an object extracted from an image on another image is improved, and a burden on a user who performs the work is reduced. In S6, a second image attribute information extraction unit 15 extracts attribute information of a second image. In S7, a layout determination unit 16 determines a combining position of the object in the second image based on object attribute information, object surrounding attribute information, and second image attribute information. In S8, a correction unit 17 corrects at least one of the extracted object or the second image based on the object attribute information, the object surrounding attribute information, and the second image attribute information. In S9, the combining unit 18 creates a composite image obtained by combining the object (corrected object in a case where correction on object is performed) at a combining position of the second image (corrected second image in a case where correction on second image is performed).

  • Patent number: 11330138
    Abstract: An image scanning unit optically scans a document image of a document. A transportation device performs transportation of the document set at a front insertion-ejection port as an insertion port and ejection port of the document. A controller performs in a first scanning mode image scanning of a top sheet of the document if the document has been bound with a staple. In the first scanning mode, the controller performs image scanning of a partial scanning area in the top sheet while transporting the document using the transportation device, and reverses a transportation direction of the document at a time point that the image scanning of the partial scanning area is finished. The partial scanning area is from a front end to a predetermined position of the top sheet, and the predetermined position is a position nearer to the front end than a binding position of the staple.

  • Publication number: 20210201548
    Abstract: There are provided a font creation apparatus, a font creation method, and a font creation program capable of generating, from small-number character images having a desired-to-be-imitated style, a complete font set for any language having the same style as the character images. A feature amount extraction unit (40) receives a character image (32) of a first font having a desired-to-be-imitated style and extracts a first feature amount of the first font of the character image (32). An estimation unit (42) estimates a transformation parameter between the extracted first feature amount and a second feature amount of a reference second font (34). A feature amount generation unit (44) generates a fourth feature amount of a second font set to be created by transforming a third feature amount of a complete reference font set (36) based on the estimated transformation parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210166067
    Abstract: A data storage unit collects and stores, for each user, data related to a “room-and-image” combination preferred by the user. A generation unit generates information which indicates a “room-and-image” relationship and in which a preference of the user is reflected by using the data collected for each user. In a case where a room image (second image) captured by the user is acquired, an image selection unit selects an image (third image) in which the preference of the user is reflected, from an image group registered in a content DB or an image group registered in a user image DB, based on the acquired second image and the information which indicates the “room-and-image” relationship, and suggests the selected image to the user. Thereby, it is possible to suggest an image which matches with the user's room and in which the preference of the user is reflected, as an image for decorating the user's room.
