  • Patent number: 8031376
    Abstract: A disclosed image processing apparatus enables input of various documents, addition of various types of embedded information, and implementation of various behaviors associated with embedded information detection results. Information embedded in input document data is detected, and an image processing associated with a detection result is carried out. The image processing apparatus includes a document input mechanism, an embedded information analysis mechanism, a behavior determination mechanism, a document output mechanism, and an image management mechanism. In one embodiment, an interface via which the document input mechanism and the embedded information analysis mechanism are connected, and another interface via which the document input mechanism and the image management mechanism are connected are fixed, so that the document input mechanism can be replaced with a new document input mechanism that inherits from those fixed interfaces, without affecting the other mechanisms.

  • Publication number: 20090109483
    Abstract: A disclosed image processing apparatus includes one or more input units each configured to input data subject to image processing; one or more output units each configured to output a result of the image processing; a first filter configured to control input from a corresponding one of the input units; and a second filter configured to control output to a corresponding one of the output units. An application is constructed by connecting the first and second filters. The image processing apparatus further includes a third filter disposed between the first and second filters and configured to convert an image data type. During job execution, the third filter inquires about image data types processable by the first and second filters, and performs, when the types are different, conversion from the image data type processable by the first filter into the image data type processable by the second filter.
