Whenever a user prepares to use an application, or a file, to treat the scanned image of an object, the user only needs to place the object on a scanner and to select the icon of the application, or the file, and compile it with the icon of the scanner. The utilization of the present invention will automatically drive the driver of the scanner and integrate the relative information into the driver. Thus, after the scanned image is acquired, the application, or relative application of the file, is automatically active to treat the scanned image. Further, the format of the scanned image could be transformed by some applications such as the OCR.

Method and device for drawing and formatting image

An image scanning method includes pre-scanning a first document to generate a first original image according to the first document; adjusting parameter settings of the first original image to generate and store a plurality of pre-view images corresponding to different sets of parameters; pre-scanning a second document to generate a second original image according to the second document; and scanning the second document to generate a plurality of scanning images according to the different sets of parameters of the pre-view images. The parameter settings of the first original image include brightness, shadow, and contrast settings.

Image scanning

Embodiments of a scanning method utilizing a virtual frame holder are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes using a computer drive scan program to perform a scanning preview, determining whether to utilize a frame holder specification parameter data source. In this embodiment, the frame holder specification is selected from the frame holder specification parameters data source. In an additional embodiment, a frame holder specification parameter is created from the frame holder specification.

Method for scanning by using a virtual frame holder

In accordance with the present invention, an operating procedure of a scanning system with one-scan-and-done feature is disclosed. The operating procedure comprises steps of receiving parameters input by a user, scanning an original responsive to the parameters, displaying an image corresponding to the original, receiving a portion of the image selected by the user, and outputting the selected image. The present invention can be extended to a scanning method for using a scanning system with one-scan-and-done feature and a scanning system with one-scan-and done feature.

Method and system for scanning with one-scan-and-done feature

In accordance with the present invention, an operating procedure of a scanning system free of identifying original's attribute comprises steps of scanning at least one original free of identifying original's attribute to generate at least one image, wherein the images present all contents of the originals, displaying the images on a preview window, receiving a portion of the preview window selected by a user, and scanning a portion of the originals corresponding to the portion of the preview window. The present invention further extends to a scanning system free of identifying original's attribute and a scanning method without identifying an original's attribute by a user.

Scanning method and scanning system free of identifying original's attribute

A method of providing the inputting units of the scanner with a foolproof function. Initially, while a specific inputting unit is activated, such as a push button being pushed, the connection between the operation of the scanner and other inputting units is terminated. This terminated connection is not regained until the specific action, which corresponds to the specific inputting unit, finishes. Moreover, an 'activation' message can be directly displayed on the scanner while this specific inputting unit is activated, and while the scanner is processing some specific action, this action can be terminated with the function of the scanner and the connection between all inputting units regained as soon as this specific inputting unit is activated again. For any scanner with the foolproof function, while a specific inputting unit is activated, not only a corresponding specific action is performed but also the connection between the performing specific action and all inputting units is controlled.

Scanner with foolproof function of inputting units and method of functioning

Methods and apparatuses for drawing and formatting an image are described. In at least one embodiment, when a user prepares to use an application, or a file, to treat the scanned image of an object, the user only needs to place the object on a scanner and to select the icon of the application, or the file, and compile it with the icon of the scanner. The utilization of several embodiments of the present invention will automatically drive the driver of the scanner and integrate the relative information into the driver. Thus, after the scanned image is acquired, the application is activated to treat the scanned image. Further, the format of the scanned image could be transformed by some applications such as the OCR.

Image scanning method

In accordance with the present invention, an operating procedure of a scanning system that can get images automatically is disclosed. The operating procedure comprises steps of scanning at least one original to get an image which can display all content of this original, displaying the image, receiving a portion of image that selected by the user, and outputting the selected image. The present invention can also extend to a scanning method for using a scanning system with one-scan-and-done feature and free of identifying original's attribute feature. And a scanning system with one-scan-and-done feature and free of identifying original's attribute feature.
