  • Patent number: 11836396
    Abstract: The present information processing apparatus transmits content HTML format to an external apparatus to cause print data to be generated in the external apparatus. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus determines whether or not an element that cannot be converted into print data by the external apparatus is included in the elements included in the content and, as a result of the determination, converts the element that cannot be converted into print data by the external apparatus into a format that can be converted into print data. Moreover, the information processing apparatus transmits the converted element to the external apparatus to cause the external apparatus to generate print data of the content.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11416183
    Abstract: A control method executed in an image processing apparatus includes generating image data for outputting a printed material which is to be pasted onto a frame, selecting an image, arranging the selected image on at least a front surface area of the image data, specifying image processing to be executed in relation to a side surface area of the image data, and executing specific analysis processing on an area of a range in accordance with the specified image processing. A plurality of image processes includes image arrangement processing for arranging at least a portion of the selected image on the side surface area by enlarging the selected image, and in a case where the specified image processing is the image arrangement processing, the specific analysis processing is executed on the front surface area and the side surface area.

  • Publication number: 20210216253
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus generates image data for outputting a printed material which is to be pasted onto a frame. The image data includes a front surface area for printing a portion of the printed material which is to be pasted onto a front surface portion of the frame and a side surface area for printing a portion of the printed material which is to be pasted onto a side surface portion of the frame. The image processing apparatus specifies one of a plurality of image processes as image processing to be executed in relation to the side surface area, executes specific analysis processing on an area of a range in accordance with the specified image processing, and executes output processing for outputting a printed material based on image data generated after the specific analysis processing is executed.

  • Patent number: 11010900
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a technique for outputting images so that a user can easily compare the image on which image processing is executed and the image on which image processing is not executed. In the technique, a first image of a region of an output target in a predetermined image on which predetermined image processing is not executed and a second image of the region of the output target in the predetermined image on which the predetermined image processing is executed are output by an output apparatus so that the first image and the second image are output and arranged in an output layout according to a shape of the region of the output target.

  • Patent number: 10911692
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided to facilitate a user's understanding of which area of an image has a higher degree of change when image processing is performed on the image. The information processing apparatus displays, on a display device, information indicating a relationship in magnitude between a first amount of change by the image processing in a first area included in a predetermined image and a second amount of change by the image processing in a second area included in the predetermined image.
