Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for compressing an image data in real time. At first, the present invention divides an image, which is got after a pre-scanning process, into plural lines. Each line is divide into several blocks, whose sizes are the same. Each block comprises plural pixel values. A pixel value of a block is saved in the buffer completely to become the first datum. The pixel value is usually the minimum pixel value. Then plural differences, which are between the first datum and the plural pixel values of the block, are calculated. One of the plural differences, which are not equal to zero, is saved in the buffer completely to become the second datum. The difference, which is not equal to zero, is usually a minimum difference. Using the second datum to be a divisor and using the plural differences to be dividends will get plural specific values of plural differences to the second datum. When the first number, which is after a dot, of the specific value is greater than a fixed value or equal to the fixed value, it will be carried to the first number, which is in front of the dot and numbers, which are after the dot, are deleted. When the first number, which is after a dot, of the specific value is lower than a fixed value, numbers, which are after the dot, are deleted. This method will make the specific values become integers. At last, the plural specific values are saved in the buffer completely to become the plural third data and the compression procedure of the block is finished. Then the next block is compressed by the same procedure.

Abstract: An optical scanner with the scanning and transmission control circuit board removed out of the scanning casing and formed in an interface card connectable to an interface connector located on a computer motherboard. The interface card has an interface socket connectable with a cable which wires respectively to an optical scanning means and a transmission means of the scanner. Computer power supply provides power needed in the scanner through the cable. Scanning signals are transmitted through the cable between the scanning means and the interface card. The interface socket may be a high speed one (such as an IDE) without sharing with a printer on a low speed parallel port like a conventional scanner. Since the control circuit board is located outside the scanner, the scanner may be made thin and smaller size, thus saving packaging, warehousing and transportation costs. Without sharing a parallel port with a printer, the scanning and printing processes may be performed concurrently at high speed. Power supply is located in the computer metallic casing, electromagnetic interference is thus greatly reduced.
