An image reading device includes a document placing table, and a cover. The cover is rotatably attached to the document placing table, and includes a receptacle for a portable terminal with a camera, the receptacle being configured to hold the portable terminal so that the camera faces the document placing table.

Correction of image captured by camera of portable terminal with image reading device or image forming apparatus

An image processing apparatus includes an image reading unit, a character recognition unit, an operation unit, and a file generation unit. The image reading unit generates image information which includes at least one of a character string and a table. The character recognition unit recognizes characters and generates character information corresponding to each character included in one of the at least one of the character string and the table. The operation unit receives, from a user, a selected file format of an electronic file to be generated. The file generation unit generates an electronic file including the generated character information in accordance with the selected file format. The character recognition unit recognizes the characters and generates the character information in the generated image information in accordance with the one of the at least one of the character string and the table that corresponds to the selected file format.

An information processing apparatus for identifying an item to be purchased during a checkout process includes an operation unit configured to receive user inputs, a display unit configured to display a series of user interfaces generated during the checkout process, an imaging unit configured to capture an image of the item to be purchased and generate image data thereof, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to select an operational mode from a plurality of operational modes including a first mode and a second mode and to control the display unit to display a first screen including one or more user-selectable candidates according to a first layout when the selected mode is the first mode, and a second screen including one or more user-selectable candidates according to a second layout that is the same as the first layout when the selected mode is the second mode.

An image forming apparatus includes a first image forming unit configured to form a first image with a decolorable material and a second image forming unit configured to form a second image with a non-decolorable material. A color state of the decolorable material changes from a first color state to a second color state when a temperature thereof increases from a room temperature to a human body temperature, and from the second color state to the first color state when the temperature thereof decreases from the human body temperature to the room temperature. The first image overlaps with at least a portion of the second image.

When a monochromatic copy mode is to be executed, a control section sets a read mode in a scanner section so as to enable the scanner section to read an image at high speed by means of only a line sensor K, sets in an image processing section an image process that can print monochromatic image information, which is sent from the scanner section, with a single black color in the printer section, and sets in the printer section a monochromatic print mode that can print a black image at high speed, thereby controlling a monochromatic copy operation.

In a watermark process section in an image processing apparatus, a visible watermark pattern read-out section reads out a visible watermark pattern that is stored in a memory. An invisible watermark generating section draws an invisible watermark on the read-out visible watermark pattern. Image data, which includes both the visible watermark and drawn invisible watermark, is multiplied by an overlay ratio. An adder section adds the visible/invisible watermark image data, which is multiplied by the overlay ratio, and input image data. Thus, watermark-overlaid image data is generated.

In a digital multiple apparatus, at least two different jobs are processed by at least two job processing units, and while job processing by one job processing unit, if there is an interruption by job processing by the other job processing unit, an end time of the job processing by the one job processing unit is predicted on the basis of job processing time required for the job processing by the other job processing unit.

Digital multiple apparatus

There is provided a decoding apparatus and a decoding method which are for using compressed data efficiently by making the resolutions of the individual components differ from one another. A decoding apparatus decodes compressed data that represents an image signal composed of a plurality of components as a compressed code by making the resolutions of the individual components differ from one another. The decoding apparatus basically comprises input sections-Y,-I,-Q which decode compressed data and take in the individual components independently, a reduction circuit-Y-which reduces and changes a size corresponding to the processing unit and resolution of any one of the components, and a conversion section-which converts into a decoded image signal in a specific format by using reduced components and uncompressed components.

Image data processing apparatus and method

In an image encoding apparatus, pattern image cut-out means cuts out partial regions of an image of image data and generates pattern images. At the same time, the pattern image cut-out means outputs position information that is representative of positions on the image data, from which the pattern images are cut out. Rearrangement means receives the generated pattern images, rearranges the pattern images, and outputs the rearranged pattern images. Dictionary generating means generates list information in which the rearranged pattern images are put together in the form of, e.g. a list. Pattern image synthesis means generates a single image ('pattern image synthesis image') in which the pattern images are combined in order. Encoded data generating means generates and outputs final encoded data, on the basis of the generated pattern image synthesis image and the generated pattern image position information.

Image encoding apparatus and image encoding method

An image data decoding apparatus decoded synthesized-compressed data in which image data with a plurality of resolutions is compressed in block units by different compression systems, respectively, and each compressed data is synthesized to a single piece of compressed data. The image data decoding apparatus comprises a separating section-for separating the synthesized-compressed data to compressed data with every resolution, decoding sections--for decoding separated and compressed data with a first resolution to obtain first high-resolution data and also decoding compressed data with a second resolution obtained from the separating section to obtain first low-resolution data, a conversion section-for converting the first low-resolution data into second high-resolution data, and an image synthesis section-for synthesizing the first and the second high-resolution data to obtain a decoded image signal.
