  • Patent number: 8285078
    Abstract: An image processing system capable of checking whether or not an image is correctly read, and of easily correcting an image which is not correctly read is provided. The image processing system includes: an image processing apparatus A which has a reading section 105, an image processing section 110 for performing image processing of a read image, and a metadata generating section 106 for generating metadata for an abnormal image; a storage server B which stores the image and the metadata outputted from the image processing apparatus A; and an image checking apparatus C which checks whether or not the metadata is included in the image acquired from the storage server B, and which when the metadata is included in the acquired image, displays the image on the basis of the metadata, and corrects the acquired image. The image processing system is capable of correcting only the abnormal image, without re-reading all the images.

  • Publication number: 20080150952
    Abstract: A control apparatus communicably connected to a multifunctional apparatus is provided with a cooperation module that acquires HTML data of an online Web page from a Web server and creates image data by converting the acquired HTML data into data displayable by an operation panel of the multifunctional apparatus. Then, the screen data created by the cooperation module is transmitted from the control apparatus to the multifunctional apparatus, and then is displayed by the operation panel. This makes it possible to cause the operation panel of the multifunctional apparatus to appropriately display online page information.
