摘要:
An apparatus and method for recognizing characters in image information includes inputting image coordinate data corresponding to the handwritten image, displaying a calligraphic image on the basis of the image coordinate data, recognizing characters in the image coordinate data, and erasing the calligraphic image and displaying recognized characters recognized in the recognizing step in the event that a recognized character is a predetermined character such as a period (".").

A control system suitable for control of an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine having a plurality of objects to be controlled. This system comprises a plurality of control units to individually and independently control those objects to be controlled, a monitor control unit to monitor those control units, and a system bus which is commonly connected to the control units and monitor control unit. The control units time-sharingly and cyclically execute their control operations by time-sharingly occupying the system bus one by one. The monitor control unit operates in parallel with the control units. The control units and monitor control unit are formed on the same semiconductor substrate consisting of, for example, Si or GaAs. The system bus may be a LAN bus or an optical fiber. With this control system, each control unit can execute its own control operation irrespective of an interruption request, so that the processing program procedure is simplified and a reliability of control is also improved.

A pointed-position detecting apparatus where image output unit visually displays an image, and image input unit inputs the displayed visible image. The input visible image is stored into memory as an original image. The visible image is partially changed by using a manipulation device such as a laser pointer or a pointing rod, and the visible image with the partially-changed area is inputted from the image input unit. Controller extract the changed image area from the input visible image, and detects a pointed position based on the changed image area. Thus, the phenomenon where a user's action with respect to a displayed image is reflected as a change in the image is utilized to detect coordinates and motion at the image area as the object of change.

A display method and apparatus for displaying information by projecting a light onto an external projection plane is capable of detecting a deviation amount of a displayed image projected on the projection plane with respect to the display apparatus. Output image data is changed based on the detected deviation amount to offset a distortion of the displayed image, which is displayed using the changed output image data.

An image information transmitting/receiving apparatus for time and cost-saving repetitive transmission. In facsimile communication, image data where further information is added to previously-transmitted image data is often received. In the present apparatus, the original image data is stored, and only difference data from the original image data is transmitted, thus the whole image can be reproduced at the receiving side, using the received difference data. Upon transmitting the difference image information, identification information identifying the difference image information is added to the difference information, and the entire image data to be received by the receiving side is stored. Upon receiving the difference image information, the received difference information is combined with the stored image data, and an image is reproduced based on the combined image data. Further, the image data used for image reproduction is stored as original image data for the next transmission. In this manner, once the original image data is stored, only difference data is sent at each subsequent transmission, thus reducing the amount of transmission data.

A system consisting of a plurality of terminals connected through communication is sometimes used to acquire information input from the terminals to a host terminal and edit/arrange the information in the host terminal when information is exchanged by inputting handwritten characters from the terminals. In this case, the host terminal must recognize the handwritten characters and thereafter process the characters to arrange the handwritten character information. Each terminal can perform character recognition by a unique character recognizing method. The terminals also individually prepare dictionaries for recognition. The host terminal returns the acquired handwritten character information to the terminals and causes the terminals to perform character recognition. Alternatively, the host terminal concentratively manages the character recognizing methods and dictionaries of all the terminals and performs character recognition.

Upon data access, an attribute-data extraction unit extracts location data and a password from attribute data which is added in advance to subject data to be accessed. At the time of requesting for an access to the data, the extracted password is compared with a password which is inputted from an input unit, and the extracted location data is compared with current location data detected by a location-data detection unit. An access permission unit permits access to the data in accordance with the comparison results obtained by the password comparison unit and the location-data comparison unit. By virtue of the process, it is possible to more strictly protect confidential information in a data processing apparatus.
摘要:
A parent node transmits a third specific message to child nodes as a broadcast message if a first specific message indicating the start of the child node collides with another message so that normal receiving cannot be performed. Then, the parent node sequentially transmits second specific messages to each child node and then receives responses to recognize the states of the children nodes. The parent node transmits a specific message indicating a realization of a sleeping state as a broadcast message to the children nodes, followed by transmitting a specific message when data to be transmitted from the child node has been generated. The parent node cancels the sleeping state when it receives the specific message.
摘要:
A control device in an image processing apparatus comprises a central operation processing unit and a plurality of operation control units controlled by the central operation processing unit, controlling a plurality of process means of the image processing apparatus and operating in parallel. Timer means for measuring the time for determining the control timing of the process means is provided in each of the plurality of operation control units.
