Publication number: 20180239933Abstract: A card reader (data read-out device) causes an image display section to display an image that indicates a predetermined portion on a display surface of a display panel, as a portion where a non-contact IC card (recording medium) is to be close. An antenna for making communications with a non-contact IC card is arranged at a portion located at the rear side of the predetermined portion on a rear surface of the display panel. In a case where a user brings a non-contact IC card close to the predetermined portion on the display surface presented as an image, the card reader reads out data from a non-contact IC card wirelessly by using an antenna. A user can identify a portion where a recording medium is to be brought close without turning his/her gaze away from the display surface of the card reader. Therefore, it is possible to bring a recording medium close to a proper position so as to enable reading out data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventor: Takashi NISHIMACHI

Patent number: 8422067Abstract: An image forming apparatus has an image data reading section that reads image data formed on a document, an image processing section that separates regions where effective information is present from the read image data so as to determine, for every separated region, a shape of a see-through preventing pattern and a position at which the see-through preventing pattern is formed, and an image printing section that prints the determined see-through preventing pattern at a part on a back surface of a recording sheet on which the document is printed, on the basis of the information of the determined position at which the see-through preventing pattern is formed, the part corresponding to any of the regions where the effective information of the document is present.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Takashi Nishimachi

Patent number: 7701611Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing apparatus including: an image reading section for reading a document image; a particular image determining section for determining whether or not a particular image is included in image data read by the image reading section; an image processing section for processing the image data; and a resolution converting section for changing a resolution of the image data to be transferred to the particular image determining section, wherein the resolution converting section lowers a pixel frequency of the image data to be transmitted to the particular image determining section so as to perform simple processing. The lowered pixel frequency slows down processing speed of the image data and thereby improves determination accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiyuki Nakai, Yohichi Shimazawa, Koichi Sumida, Takashi Nishimachi, Takahiro Minami

Publication number: 20060209353Abstract: In an image processing apparatus connected with a computer which is capable of executing image processing which corresponds to an image processing command, a file format which permits addition of the image processing command to image data which has been read is stored in a non-volatile memory. A CPU judges whether a determined file format is stored in the non-volatile memory, and when judging that the determined file format is stored in the non-volatile memory, the CPU permits addition of the image processing command to the read image data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2004Publication date: September 21, 2006Inventors: Kohsuke Harada, Tokiyuki Okano, Keiji Nakamura, Takashi Nishimachi, Shuhji Fujii, Yasuhiro Nakai

Patent number: 6507415Abstract: An image processing device includes a scanner, which reads a plurality of images and inputs them as multivalue digital image data; a matching data producing section which, based on the inputted multivalue image data, produces matching data for joining the respective inputted images; a post-processing section, which binarizes the image data of each image inputted by the scanner; a joining section, which synthesizes the respective inputted images into a single image by joining the binary data produced by the post-processing section, which corresponds to the image data of the respective inputted images, on the basis of the matching data produced by the matching data producing section; and a printer for outputting the image joined by the joining section. Thus an image processing device can be provided which is capable of joining any type of image, whether from written characters, halftone dot, or photographic originals, and of performing this joining processing at high speed.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1998Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masanori Toyoda, Akihiko Iwasaki, Atsushi Narukawa, Yoshiyuki Nakai, Masakiyo Okuda, Takeshi Murakami, Takashi Nishimachi
