Abstract:
A remote facsimile machine 61 calls a facsimile device 1 in S10 so that the facsimile machine 1 connects the telephone circuit in S32. When the remote facsimile machine 61 detects circuit connection in S12, the remote facsimile machine 61 transmits in S14 a transmission request signal and a facsimile number of the subject remote facsimile machine 61 to the facsimile device 1. The facsimile device 1 receives in S34 the transmission request signal and the remote facsimile number. The facsimile device 1 calls in S50 the remote facsimile machine 61 based on the remote facsimile number received in S34, and transmits stored image information to the remote facsimile machine 61.
Abstract:
A system (10) and method for correlating processing data and image data within a digital camera device (14) comprises a capture device (24) for gathering image data, a data cell manager (95) for building a data cell (76) containing processing data and for linking the data cell to the image data, and a processor device (88) for processing and compressing the image data by using the processing data stored within the data cell.
Abstract:
A communication system transmits data signals from a base unit (12) at a first location to a peripheral device (14) (which may be one of many peripheral devices) connected to a remote unit (16) at a second location. A receiver at the base unit (12) receives the data signals and modulates the data signals to produce a facsimile-encoded data signal. A base unit control signal generator generates a base-to-remote facsimile-encoded control signal. The base unit (12) then transmits the facsimile-encoded data signal and the base-to-remote facsimile-encoded control signal in the same session via a public carrier network (20,22). The remote unit (16) receives the facsimile-encoded data signal and the base-to-remote facsimile-encoded control signal from the public carrier network (20,22) and directs the facsimile-encoded data signal to a particular peripheral device (14) indicated by the base-to-remote facsimile-encoded control signal via a connector.
Abstract:
A facsimile apparatus which can output a plurality of copies of received information includes a reception unit, a printer, and a controller. When a plurality of copies of received information are to be output, the controller adds information, indicating that the plurality of copies of received information are output, to each copy of recorded information.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises an image based document processing and information management system and apparatus (38). It provides a more efficient method and apparatus for handling large volumes of form based business transactions using a digital image-based system for the capture (24), identification and processing (12) of images, statistics and business data. The system converts documents, such as forms and supporting pages, into digital data which can be used to update computer records and to manage and support the adjudicative processing of business transactions by human operators at computer terminals (14, 16).
Abstract:
Provision is made in electronic document processing systems for printing unfiltered or filtered machine-readable digital representations of electronic documents, and human-readable renderings of them on the same record medium using the same printing process. The integration of machine-readable digital representations of electronic documents with the human-readable hardcopy renderings of them may be employed, for example, not only to enhance the precision with which the structure and content of such electronic documents can be recovered by scanning such hardcopies into electronic document processing systems, but also as a mechanism for enabling recipients of scanned-in versions of such documents to identify and process annotations that were added to the hardcopies after they were printed and/or for alerting the recipients of the scanned-in documents to alterations that may have been made to the original human-readable content of the hardcopy renderings. In addition to storage of the electronic representation of the document, provision is made for encoding information about the electronic representation of the document itself, such as file name, creation and modification dates, access and security information, printing histories. Provision is also made for encoding information which is computed from the content of the document and other information, for purposes of authentication and verification of document integrity. Provision is also made for the encoding of information which relates to operations which are to be performed depending on handwritten marks made upon a hardcopy rendering of the document; for example, encoding instructions of what action is to be taken when a box on a document is checked. Provision is also made for encoding in the hardcopy another class of information: information about the rendering of the document specific to that hard copy, which can include a numbered copy of that print, the identification of the machine which performed that print, the reproduction characteristics of the printer, the screen frequency and rotation used by the printer in rendering halftones. Provision is also made for encoding information about the digital encoding mechanism itself, such as information given in standard-encoded headers about subsequently compressed or encrypted digital information.
Abstract:
There is disclosed an apparatus for transmission, reception and recording of an image, such as a facsimile apparatus, capable of correcting the unevenness in density or improper density resulting from fluctuation in the performance of the recording head of the receiving unit, with a limited amount of data transfer. At the start of communication, correction data for uneven or improper density of the recording head are sent from the receiving unit to the transmitting unit. The transmitting unit corrects the multi-value image data to be transmitted, based on the received correction data, and sends the corrected image data after conversion into binary state. The receiving unit receives the binary image data and effects image recording. The time and cost for data transmission can be reduced, as the correction is conducted at the transmitting unit and the data transmission can be made in binary data.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method for the reliable documentation of two or three-dimensional objects (2) for the purposes of duly establishing, after documentation of the object (2) whether or not a replication or imitation tallies with the object. The object which is to be documented is placed in an apparatus (1) with given coordinates along the x, y and, where applicable, z axes with a given zero position whence these axes extend mutually offset at 90°. Image reproduction of the object (2) is effected by means of at least two reproductions taken by the intermediary of an image reproduction apparatus (10) whose position in relation to the above-mentioned zero position is registered. As images, there are selected, first, an overall view of the object (2) the corresponding position of the overall view in the image reproduction apparatus (10) being registered, and secondly a macroview, i.e. a view of such powerful magnification that individual details in the form of, for instance, droplets, brush hairs down to particle level etc., may clearly be observed and measured, the corresponding position of this macroview in the image reproduction apparatus (10) being registered. These images, all relevant data in the form of, for example, creator of the object (2), owner of the object, the above-disclosed positions, the parameters of the image reproduction apparatus (10) etc. are registered. At least such data as is of importance for the retrieval of the macroview and the macroimage per ce are separated and are protected against unauthorized retrieval.
