Abstract: An optical scanner may be used either with or without a support stand. When operated without the support stand, the scanner may be used to acquire an image of an object in virtually any location and/or orientation, e.g., an image of a picture hanging on a wall. When used in conjunction with the support stand, the support stand may hold the scanner in a non-horizontal orientation so that the combined scanner and support stand occupy a relatively smaller footprint. The scanner may attach to the support stand such that it is able to pivot with respect to the support stand. An object to be scanned (e.g., a document) may then be placed on a support surface of the support stand and the scanner pivoted to a closed position to allow scanning of the object. In this manner, the scanner may also be used in a manner similar to a conventional flatbed scanner.

Abstract translation: 可以使用光学扫描器，无论是否具有支撑架。 当没有支撑架的情况下操作时，扫描器可以用于在几乎任何位置和/或方向上获取物体的图像，例如挂在墙上的图像的图像。 当与支撑架一起使用时，支撑架可以将扫描仪保持在非水平方向，使得组合的扫描仪和支撑架占据相对较小的占地面积。 扫描器可以附接到支撑架，使得其能够相对于支撑架枢转。 然后可以将待扫描的物体（例如，文件）放置在支撑架的支撑表面上，并且扫描器枢转到关闭位置以允许对物体进行扫描。 以这种方式，也可以以类似于常规平板扫描器的方式使用扫描仪。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for receiving document images including portions linked to one or more electronic addresses. The linked portion of the document is identified using a predetermined visual attribute, such as bold-face text, or delimiters to mark the portion. The document image is then transmitted using, e.g., existing apparatus for transmitting images, such as a facsimile machine. An electronic address associated with the identified portion of the document is also transmitted using existing techniques, such as by touch-tone telephone. The address may be a voice telephone number, facsimile telephone number. World Wide Web address or any other address with which communication can be established. At the receiving end, both the document image and electronic address are received. Pattern matching is performed on the document image to identify the portion with the predetermined attribute as a linked portion. The received electronic address is then correlated with the linked portion. When the document image is displayed on, e.g., a computer screen, the linked portion is visually identified so that the recipient can access the electronic address by, e.g., clicking on the portion using a mouse. Communication may then be initiated by the recipient with the entity associated with the electronic address.

Abstract: A slip-resistant and portable scanner for scanning a document placed on a document platen includes a housing, a scan window, and a scanning module and a slip-resistant structure. The scan window is mounted on the housing to closely face the document. The scanning module is disposed in the housing to scan the document via the scan window. The slip-resistant structure is formed on the scan window and in contact with the document or the document platen. Thus, it is possible to prevent the scan window from slipping relative to the document and enhance the scan quality and convenience.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing an image on a large surface area or walkway provides for imagewise marking of the surface with a color marking solution, to form a visible image on the surface during an image recording mode of a marking engine. The marking engine includes a scanner and the marking engine moves along the surface and operates the scanner to sense a crude image upon the surface and generates data signals representing the crude image or boundaries defined by the crude image scanned. In response to data signals the marking engine is operated to print an enhanced image of the crude image and/or to color the crude image so that the printing overlies the crude image.

Abstract: This invention provides a data processing apparatus and a data processing method for reducing the amount of image data denoting a pattern drawn on a whiteboard by a pen or the like being moved so as to designate locations in a designated sequence. Specifically, a coordinate transformation circuit transforms first-precision coordinate data within first image data into coordinate data of a second precision lower than the first precision, thereby generating second image data. Given the coordinate data in the second image data, a changing point detection circuit detects the coordinate data that are changed in keeping with the locations being designated movably by the pen on the whiteboard, thereby generating third image data including the detected coordinate data in the designated sequence.

Abstract: To make it possible to draw an image as intended. A printing device 1 displays a previewed image on a surface for printing (printing paper or a surface for pasting a print) to allow the user to preview how content data will be printed. As the user adjusts the previewed image to obtain intended results, an image identical to the image being previewed is printed on the printing paper. This makes it easy to print desired content. Specifically, since the user can verify an image displayed on the surface on which the image will be actually printed or pasted, it is possible to prevent the actual print produced or pasted on the printing paper from differing from the user's expectations.

Abstract translation: 使其可以按照预期绘制图像。 打印装置1在用于打印的表面上显示预览图像（打印纸或用于粘贴打印的表面），以允许用户预览如何打印内容数据。 当用户调整预览图像以获得预期结果时，与正在预览的图像相同的图像被打印在打印纸上。 这使得打印所需内容变得容易。 具体地说，由于用户可以验证在实际上打印或粘贴图像的表面上显示的图像，所以可以防止在打印纸上产生或粘贴的实际打印与用户的期望不同。

Abstract: A system for automatically reproducing an image on a large surface, such as the external wall of a building or a billboard. The system includes a computer, a translator program, a controller card and image reproduction machinery. The computer is programmed with the translating program which converts a downloaded image file into a data file capable of being used by the controller card. The controller card is used to control drivers which control various motors on the image reproduction machinery. The image production machinery comprises a guide rail, a carriage, and a medium head assembly. The guide rail is suspended adjacent to the surface to be painted. During operation, the guide rail moves along one axis of the surface and the carriage moves longitudinally over the guide rail. The medium head assembly contains a plurality of airbrushes which are equally spaced apart with their tips aimed at a single point on the wall thereby producing a single pixel of various colors and shades.

Abstract: Disclosed is a focusing system for a scanner. The focusing system utilizes an imaging lens and a line image sensor of the scanner. The focusing system is further provided with a lens drive system, a contrast data detecting system that detects a contrast data representing brightness gradient with respect to a pixel located in a predetermined area on said line image sensor. Further, a lens position detecting system is provided. The lens position detecting system detects, among all lens positions, a position at which a brightness gradient of a certain pixel is greatest. Then, a controller controls the lens drive system to locate the lens to the detected lens position.
