An image capture method includes steps of providing an image capture device, starting an image capture operation, detecting a first axial acceleration value, a second axial acceleration value, a third axial acceleration value and an image quality, and judging if any two of the first axial acceleration value, the second axial acceleration value and the third axial acceleration value exchange with each other. When the result of the judgement is False, the previous step of detection is re-performed, and when the result of the judgment is True, the next step of judging if the image quality is less than a predetermined value is performed. When the result of this judgement is False, the previous two steps of detection and judgement are re-performed, and when the result of this judgement is True, finishing the image capture operation. Therefore, the automatic finishing of the image capture is achieved without pushing any button.

An image capture and correction method includes steps of providing an image capture device, moving the image capture device along a specific direction to obtain an captured image and position information, performing a correction operation to the captured image, calculating to obtain a skewed angle according to the position information, setting a coordinate value of the captured image as a target value, calculating to obtain a correction value according to the target value and the skewed angle, replacing the target value with the correction value, and judging whether to continue the correction operation. Then, the correction operation is finished and the corrected captured image is stored. Therefore, the skew of the captured image is corrected, a more accurate correction value is obtained, and the advantages of precisely correcting the captured image are achieved.

An image capturing method includes steps of providing an image capturing device, obtaining a captured image, a first displacement data and a second displacement data, calculating to obtain an angle deflection data according to the first displacement data and the second displacement data, calculating to obtain a central point real coordinate corresponding to a central point of the image capturing device, calculating to obtain an initial point real coordinate corresponding to an initial point of the captured image and a finish point real coordinate corresponding to a finish point of the captured image, and determining a real coordinate system according to the central point real coordinate, the initial point real coordinate and the finish point real coordinate and correspondingly outputting the captured image with the real coordinate system so as to obtain a corrected terminal image. As a result, the terminal image is similar to the original image.

An image jointing method includes steps of obtaining a first image, a second image including a line image, and a displacement data, dividing a specific region of the line image as image blocks and calculating to obtain feature values corresponded to the image blocks, comparing the feature values and utilizing an initial coordinate of the image block corresponding to the maximum of the feature values as a feature point representing the line image, corresponding the feature point to a base point of the first image according to the displacement data and obtaining a first jointing point corresponding to the first image and a second jointing point corresponding to the second image according to the base point and the feature point, and jointing the first image and the second image through the first jointing point and the second jointing point, thereby significantly reducing the operation time and enhancing the user experiences.

Image joining method

An image capture method includes the following steps. Firstly, an image capturing device including a line image sensor and an optical mouse sensor is provided. Then, an image capturing resolution is provided. Then, the optical mouse sensor starts counting, and the image capturing device is moved along a specified direction. Then, a sampling target value along the specified direction is acquired. Then, the line image sensor acquires at least one temporary image. Then, each temporary image is correlated with a temporary target value according to a counting result of the optical mouse sensor. Then, an absolute value of each temporary target value minus the sampling target value is calculated, and the temporary image corresponding to the minimum absolute value is determined as a to-be-synthesized image. Consequently, the overall volume of the image capturing device is reduced, and the capturing performance is optimized.

Transmitting and receiving methods of an Internet facsimile system are disclosed. The Internet facsimile system includes a telephone network, a transmitting network, a server and an office machine. The server has therein a network interface and a memory unit. The office machine includes a data storage means and network interface. The office machine transmits a fax through the telephone network and establishes a connection with the server through the transmitting network. The storage means has a memory capacity much less than that of the memory unit. Therefore, the transmitting and receiving methods of an Internet facsimile system capitalize on the tremendous memory capacity provided by the server as an intermediate storage such that the memory shortage of the office machine is avoided.
