摘要： Upon capturing a digital watermark-embedded print product by an image capturing device held by the hand of a user and extracting embedded information, the relative speed between the hand-held image capturing device and the print product changes, failing in extracting the embedded additional information. In an embodiment, the image capturing device performs continuous shooting for every small area to read the print product. A shoot image is analyzed to calculate the feature amount of the image. Information about an image capturing quality characteristic generated at the time of capturing the print product is estimated, and a change of the feature amount accompanying the image capturing quality characteristic is predicted based on the estimation result. A code indicated by the watermark is determined based on the calculation result and the prediction result.

摘要： In a digital camera having a wireless communicator with a server, a storage controller treats full size image data and display size image data unequally if the full size image data has been already sent to the server. For example, the display size image data is not allowed to be replaced by new digital image data unless the digital camera is not in use over a prescribed time. Own image data and other's image data are treated equally. Image data received from outside and retrieved from inside memory are treated equally. Search key for own image data and related search keys existing in the outside are indicated in a comparable manner. The digital camera receives search key from neighboring advertiser to send it for Internet search of advertisement. Search key received from neighboring notable site is sent for Internet search of photographs of the notable site taken by others.

摘要： In accordance with some embodiments, a protocol permits communications between platforms and image devices. This allows, for example, the platform to specify particular types of information that the platform may want, the format of information the platform may prefer, and other information that may reduce the amount of processing in the platform. For example, conventionally, in gesture recognition software, the platform receives an ongoing stream of video to be parsed, searched and processed in order to identify gestures. This may consume communications bandwidth between platforms and imaging devices, particularly in cases where wireless communications or other bandwidth limited communications may be involved.

摘要翻译： 根据一些实施例，协议允许平台和图像设备之间的通信。 这允许例如平台来指定平台可能需要的特定类型的信息，平台可能喜欢的信息的格式以及可以减少平台中的处理量的其他信息。 例如，传统上，在手势识别软件中，平台接收待解析，搜索和处理的正在进行的视频流，以便识别手势。 这可能消耗平台和成像设备之间的通信带宽，特别是在可能涉及无线通信或其他带宽限制的通信的情况下。

摘要： This disclosure provides a self-contained imaging device that takes digital photographs of portions of documents (such as photos or photoalbums) instead of scanning those images. The imaging device uses a lens to zoom in on specific portions of the document that represent images that are to be digitized. Generally speaking, disclosed embodiments utilize a physical device having a housing, a location for retaining or holding an image to be imaged, such as a platen or image conveyance mechanism, a light source and the imaging system (which can be a digital camera). The disclosed device camera provides a low-cost mechanism that can at-once capture a high resolution image without the delays associated with most scanners.

摘要： A terminal apparatus can communicate by radio with an MFP in a defined range among a plurality of MFPs. When an MFP of which radio communication intensity is higher than a threshold value defined in advance is detected among the plurality of MFPs, the terminal apparatus quits radio communication before it accepts an operation to indicate connection of radio communication from a user. When such a user operation is accepted, the terminal apparatus establishes radio communication with an MFP of which radio communication intensity is highest at the time when the user operation is performed.

摘要： An image reading apparatus includes an image scanning unit that is provided with a holding portion holding a flexible flat cable. The holding portion is protruded toward an upstream side in a sub scanning direction, and provided with a second wall part. The flexible flat cable that is extended from a connector is brought into contact with the second wall part. As for the flexible flat cable, a downward movement is regulated by a lower holding portion and an upward movement is regulated by an upper holding portion. Accordingly, the flexible flat cable does not rise.
