A plurality of kinds of electronic source documents are held, and an electronic binder builder selects a desired electronic source document page from electronic source document pages of the plurality of kinds of held electronic source documents. Based on the selected electronic source document page, an integrated electronic document is composed, and page relation between pages in the electronic source document having electronic source document pages constituting the integrated electronic document and pages in a converted integrated electronic document of electronic source document pages constituting the converted integrated electronic document with the integrated electronic document converted into a predetermined file format is managed.

Information processing apparatus, method therefor, and computer-readable memory

A file management system, a file management method, and a storage medium by which a higher productivity is achieved by efficient document indexing. In copying index data, a copy is created from text data of an application such as a text editor or a spread sheet or from index data displayed on a document list of a document management system. A range for pasting index data is selected by a pointing device or keyboard operation. The selected range includes a record as a search result, a record in which a new document is recorded, and a pre-index record. If a user gives an instruction on pasting index data, the obtained index data is checked to be recordable data for a field of the selected cell. If it is recordable data, index data record processing is performed.

File management system, file management method, and storage medium

A document management system having enhanced operability so that a plurality of documents can be processed at a time by integrating a search operation, an image recording operation, and an index input operation. In the document management system of the present invention, input search conditions are transmitted to a search portion, which finds out a document satisfying the search conditions from a document data base via an index data recording management portion and outputs the result to a document list control portion. The document list control portion prepares a document list from the result and displays it in a document list display portion. For a new record processing, image data on a manuscript read by a scanner is output to an image control portion. The image control portion records the image data into an image recording portion and reports new document creating information to the document list control portion. The document list control portion creates a new record on the basis of the new document creating information and adds it to an already displayed document list for a display.

File management system and its method and storage medium

An image processing apparatus (or method) includes a reception unit (or step) for receiving digital color image data through an interface from an external apparatus, and a discrimination unit (or step) for discriminating, from the received digital color image data, whether an image represented by the digital color image data is a specific image. A control unit (or step) controls printing using the color image data in accordance with a discriminated result by the discrimination unit.

Image processing apparatus and method for generating a control signal based on a discrimination of whether an input image includes a specific image

There is disclosed an image searching apparatus capable of searching an image stored in a memory medium, corresponding to a search image, selected from the plural search images registered in advance. The apparatus can generate a synthesized image, including the registered search images, together with marking areas, to be marked by the operator for selecting the search image, and prints the synthesized as a marking sheet which is to be marked by the operator and then read by the apparatus again, whereby the apparatus effects the image search, based on the marking provided on the marking sheet.

Image searching apparatus

A discrimination device and method that generates a control signal used for controlling a color image processing apparatus that processes color image data in a first color space and generates color image data in a second color space different from the first space. The color image data in the first color space is input and then a discrimination is performed to determine whether an image represented by the input color image data includes a specific image. A control signal is generated based on the discrimination result.

Image processing apparatus and method for generating a control signal

An image processing apparatus and method includes a scanner for scanning an original and generating electrical image data representing an image of the original to be processed, a processor for processing the electrical image data supplied by the scanner, and a device for determining whether the original represented by the electrical image data contains a specified image based on the electrical image data supplied by the scanner. The scanner scans the original a plurality of times and the device performs its determination operation on the same original a plurality of times, once for each scanning operation.

Image processing apparatus and method for determining whether an

A device that controls a color image processing apparatus receives color component signals representing an original, and extracts a pattern having a predetermined color from the original on the basis of the color component signals. The device determines whether the pattern includes a predetermined image registered in advance, and generates a control signal for controlling an image processing of the original on the basis of the determination result.

Device and method for controlling a color image processing apparatus in

An image processing apparatus for processing an input image and recording the image on a recording medium, and particularly a color copying apparatus which permits color copying of an original, and makes it possible to discriminate a specific original for the sake of prevention of forgery of a banknote, a negotiable instrument, or the like. The specific original is provided with copying processing which is different from that provided for an ordinary original.

Apparatus with anti-forgery provision

An image information processing apparatus having an input unit for inputting image information, a synthesizing unit for synthesizing the image information for a plurality of frames inputted from the input unit, and a coding unit for coding the image information synthesized by the synthesizing unit. In particular, the apparatus can synthesize information from the front and the back surfaces of a two-sided original.
