摘要:
One document image is divided according to attributes such as a character, a graphic, a table, etc., and the divided partial images are stored as one file. For example, each of the partial images is stored by being assigned with a priority, reduced in stages, and compressed with a compression method suitable for each of the attributes. If a user, etc. issues the instruction for making more of a desired portion visible and easy to view when he or she displays the document image, the user can freely make an easy-to-view display that the user desires according to the contents of the instruction. For example, the document image can be displayed by making an empty space between partial images smaller, a partial image with a higher priority can be displayed earlier, a specified partial image can be displayed larger, etc.

An image display system, provided with a plurality of display units and a pointing device for moving a cursor between the plurality of display units, includes a cursor position detecting unit for detecting a desired cursor movement that corresponds to an operation of the pointing device and a cursor movement control unit for moving the cursor commensurate with the operation of the pointing device such that the cursor is moved differently from one display unit to another.

In a thermal printer which conducts recording by heating heat generating elements with a drive signal, the temperature of the heat generating elements, after a specified period for the start of a thermal recording signal can be returned to a constant value, by applying during the normal cooling process, that is, after application of a thermal recording signal, a predetermined auxiliary pulse corresponding to the temperature that is generated during the thermal recording and to the tone to be recorded.

A method of obtaining information included in an image, the method includes dividing the image into a plurality of pairs of blocks. The image includes a plurality of codes. Each of the codes includes a plurality of digits. The method further includes determining a digit value of each of the block pairs on the basis of difference of a degree of characteristic value between adjacent blocks in each of the pairs. The method further includes weighing each digit value of each of the block pairs. The method further includes deciding a new digit value of associated pairs of blocks on the basis of the majority of the weighed digit values of the associated pairs of the blocks and repeating the deciding in other associated pairs of the blocks to determine the code.

A method of providing an access to contents on a network includes sorting a first code for accessing the contents received from a contents requesting source to a pre-registered sorting destination based on a predetermined rule, and converting the first code, or a second code that is generated based on the first code, into information indicating a storage place of the contents.

To provide a technology of increasing coding efficiency for an isolated column which appears with a high frequency. Bit map data which indicates an image by an array of pixels of main scanning and subscanning directions is scanned in the main scanning direction, the data is separated into an area including a black pixel and an area including no black pixel by units of a predetermined number of logical lines based on a result of the main scanning, the area including the black pixel which has been separated in the first area separation step is scanned in the subscanning direction, the data is separated into a coded area coincident with a predetermined coded pattern and a noncoded area noncoincident with the coded pattern, an isolated column coincident with a predetermined isolated pattern is separated from the noncoded area separated, and the areas are coded by combining a code indicating the isolated column with a code indicating the number of columns of an area adjacent to the isolated column when the areas separated are coded as elements.

A controlling unit of an image inputting apparatus increments a counter each time an instruction to start an image input is externally provided. An image compressing unit waits for the completion of the storage of an entire image in a buffer memory, and issues an instruction to detect the state of the image to an image state detecting unit. The image state detecting unit detects the rotation direction and the presence/absence of mirror-reversing of the image stored in the buffer memory, and notifies the detection result to an image compressing unit. The image compressing unit switches a scanning order of pixels to be read from the buffer memory based on the notification, compresses the image data while reading the image data in the switched scanning order, and stores the compressed image data in a data storing unit. After the entire image data within the buffer memory is stored in the image data storing unit, the lastly stored image data is decompressed by an image decompressing unit, and the decompressed image is displayed on a display.

Using an image region detection method according to the present invention, the detection of sides in the four directions (vertical and horizontal directions) is performed on the basis of results of edge detection performed on lines having a particular width, starting from an inner point toward the periphery of the quadrangular region in an input image, and the shape and the four corners of the quadrangle formed by the detected four sides are verified. Thereby, when there is a side that has been falsely detected, redetection on sides that are closer to the periphery than the side that has been detected falsely is performed, such that the quadrangular region can be formed at high speed.
