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.

Image processing apparatus and method

According to one embodiment, the media reuse determination apparatus has a decoding section, a reusability determination section, and an output section. The decoding section decodes information related to management of a print media attached to the print media obtained by using a reading apparatus to read the object having the information recorded thereon, and it carries out error correction during decoding of the information. On the basis of the result of the error correction carried out during decoding of the information by the decoding section, the reusability determination section determines whether or not the print media can be reused. The output section outputs the result of the determination made by the reusability determination section.

Printed media reuse determination apparatus and media reuse determination program

In accordance with one embodiment, an image forming apparatus comprises an interface, a storage section configured to store identification information, and a control section. The interface is configured to carry out data transmission/reception with an external device. The control section is configured to control the interface, generate the identification information, store the identification information in the storage section, and send the identification information to the external device. In addition, when the identification information which is stored in the storage section exists in information received from the interface, the control section carries out an image forming operation, and does not carry out the image forming operation when the identification information does not exist.

Image forming apparatus and execution method thereof

A document management apparatus in an embodiment is configured to manage a printer unit which erase image information obtained by printing both characteristic identification information and document information or only the document information with an erasable color material on a printing medium, and a reading unit configured to read the characteristic identification information on the printing medium to be erased by a erasing unit, comprising: an processor unit configured to manage an erasability condition of the document information on the basis of the characteristic identification information and instruct the printer unit to output new document information according to the erasability condition of the document information, the erasability condition being contained in the characteristic identification information read by the reading unit; and an interface unit performs respectively of the transmitting and receiving of information to the reading unit and the printer unit to the processor unit.

Document management apparatus

A printed image erasing system in an embodiment is configured to erase image information obtained by printing both characteristic identification information and document information or only the document information with an erasable color material on a printing medium, comprising: a printer unit configured to print the image information on the printing medium; an erasing unit configured to erase an image printed on the printing medium with the erasable color material; a reading unit configured to read the characteristic identification information on the printing medium to be erased by the erasing unit; and a document management unit configured to manage an erasability condition of the document information on the basis of the characteristic identification information and instruct the printer unit to output new document information according to the erasability condition of the document information that is contained in the characteristic identification information read by the reading unit.

Printed image erasing system

According to one embodiment, a device for identifying types of document files includes an extraction unit, an evaluation unit, and a document type identification unit. The extraction unit extracts document feature information indicating distinguishing information for a document included in a document file. The evaluation unit verifies the validity of the document feature information extracted by the extraction unit. The document type identification unit identifies a type of the document file corresponding to the document feature information extracted by the extraction unit if the document feature information is valid.

Device for identifying types of document files

There is provided a technique which can contribute to the improvement of management efficiency of a document file. Metadata relating to a document as a management object are acquired, and the plural metadata are hierarchically displayed in a tree form based on respective attributes of the acquired plural metadata.

Document management system, document management method and document management program

A technique that can contribute to a reduction in an operation burden in managing a processing result of semantic determination processing applied to objects included in an image is provided. An object included in an image of image data is extracted. A semantic of the object in a layout of the image data is determined. When it is determined that plural objects have an identical semantic, a display unit is caused to notify information concerning the plural objects, which are determined as having the semantic, in association with information concerning the semantic.
