A position information presentation device comprises a position information acquisition part which acquires position information indicated by a latitude and longitude or an address on a portable terminal, an information inspection part which retrieves inspected information, and to present information in which inspection is requested for the portable terminal, a position associated information memory part which memorize a title or a content of information presented by the information inspection part as a position associated information by associating with the acquired position information, a position associated information readout part which reads the position associated information corresponding to information which should be presented from the memorized position associated information as a key of the title or the content of the information, and a position associated information presentation part which presents position information which is included in the read position associated information as map information.

Position information presentation device, position information presentation method and program to present position information

A database stores map data including road network data and landmark data. A route search unit searches for a route from a departure point to a destination point from the road network data stored in the database. A road pattern analysis unit analyzes a route pattern of the route by referring to the road network data, and obtains road pattern data as the analysis result. A landmark selection area decision unit determines a landmark selection area for route guidance along the route based on the road network data and the road pattern data. A landmark selection unit selects landmark data included in the landmark selection area from said database. A route guidance information generation unit generates route guidance information of the route using the road pattern data and the landmark data selected by the landmark selection unit. A presentation unit presents the route guidance information.

Route guidance apparatus and method

A database stores map data including road network data and landmark data. A route search unit searches for a route from a departure point to a destination point from the road network data stored in said database. A road pattern analysis unit analyzes a road pattern of the route by referring to the road network data, and obtains road pattern data as the analysis result. A route guidance information generation unit generates route guidance information of the route using the road pattern data and the landmark data along the route. A presentation unit presents the route guidance information.

The present invention presents an image processing apparatus having an input unit for inputting image data of an original image, a discriminating unit for extracting a predetermined region by using a feature of pixel of the input image data, and for discriminating an attribute of the region, a determining unit for determining the type of the image data on the basis of the distribution of the attributes of the regions, and a processing unit for processing the image data as specified depending on the type of the determined image data. In this constitution, image processing conforming to the accurate discrimination result can be applied to image data.

Image processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, and image processing method depending on the type of original image

A document processing apparatus includes a division section for dividing a document image into a plurality of regions or connection components. A recognition section recognizes the type of a region in units of divided regions and edit section edits region data while displaying the recognition result. A shaping section then shapes the document image by using the edited region data.

Document processing system which can selectively extract and process

In a document filing apparatus, a file memory previously stores a plurality of documents including of line data, character data and image data. An image input section inputs a new document as image data. A character-line extraction section extracts line data and character data from the input image data. A document retrieval section retrieves a document to be compared with the new document from the file memory. A difference detection section detects differences of line data, character data and image data between the new document and the retrieved document. A register section registers the difference data and identification information of the retrieved document as the new document in the file memory.

Document filing apparatus and method having document registration,

In an image filing apparatus, the registered format similar to an input format is correctly retrieved from a plurality of the registered formats in a format registration section. The image data of a new form is inputted through an image input section. A format registration section previously registers a plurality of formats of forms. A format discrimination section extracts the input format from the new form, compares the input format with the plurality of formats in the format registration section, and calculates similarities between the input format and the plurality of formats, respectively. A preservation section stores the image data of the new form by using the registered format selected from the plurality of formats in accordance with the similarity.

Image filing apparatus and method

A paper sheet P is fed to a transport mechanism, which conveys the sheet to a printer section, which prints a pattern on the sheet P. The image data on the printed sheet is supplied to an image input section, and compared with standard data at a print inspect section. The compared image data is sent to data display sections as the occasion demands and judged to be acceptable or unacceptable at judgment input sections. The judgment results are sent to a sort mechanism, which discards unacceptable printed matter P. This printing apparatus allows the judge to make a final judgment on printed matter containing minute defects or faint defects that the inspecting process cannot judge, and collects the judgment results, thereby being capable of printing while sorting only acceptable products accurately without lengthening the processing time.

Printing and print inspection apparatus

A method and an apparatus for multi-window display with enhanced window manipulation facilities. In the apparatus, window images to be displayed in multi-window display are stored in a bit map memory. Various image processing operations are performed on the window images stored in the bit map memory, by regarding the window images as graphic images. Appropriate sections of processed window images are transferred to a frame buffer by using a bit block transfer device, and the image in the frame buffer is displayed on a display device.
