  • Publication number: 20230305866
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display, a detector, and a controller. The display communicates a setting screen for setting a function of the image forming apparatus. The detector detects an operation of a user that the user executes on the setting screen. The controller is configured to communicate guidance regarding the setting screen based on the operation detected by the detector. For example, such guidance may be communicated when the number of operation times of the operation executed by the user on the setting screen exceeds a first threshold and the number of execution times of the function executed by the user previously is less than a second threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230088639
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a reader and a controller. The reader acquires a document image formed on a sheet. The controller acquires an area image in a designated area designated in the document image acquired by the reader, performs a character recognition process and a code recognition process on the area image, and in response to the character recognition process not recognizing a character, employs a code recognition result by a code recognition process performed on the area image as a recognition result of the area image.

  • Publication number: 20200296232
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing device includes a control unit. Using a format selected from a plurality of formats in which a region where the image recognition is performed is defined in image information obtained by reading the image formed on the sheet, the control unit performs an image recognition in a region defined with the format in the image information, and outputs the fact that the image recognition is continued when the result of the image recognition is not good.

  • Patent number: 10778872
    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.
