  • Patent number: 9350901
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that is capable of reducing the printing time when printing data saved and is capable of two-color printing. A raster conversion unit generates raster image data by developing image information that shows an image expressed in arbitrary colors. A storage unit stores the raster image data converted by the raster conversion unit and a color mode that is specified from among “full color”, “single color”, and “two-color” when the raster image data is printed. A color conversion unit generates output image data by processing the raster image data according to the selected color mode. A control unit makes a printer unit print the output image data that is generated by processing the raster image data stored in the storage unit by the color conversion unit when being instructed to print the image.

  • Patent number: 8458251
    Abstract: This invention provides a conference aided system, which is configured by interconnecting a conference management server, an input board having a board surface and used to input handwritten information, and an image storage device via a network, and aids execution of process associated with a conference. The server stores conference information including address information indicating the storage location of image data used in a conference. The server acquires conference information corresponding to an acquisition request of conference information in response to this request sent from the input board, and transmits the conference information to the input board. The input board receives the conference information corresponding to the acquisition request from the server. The input board acquires image data in the image storage device on the network, which is designated by the address information in the conference information. The input board renders the image data on its board surface.
