Abstract:
An image processing device includes a document scanning unit, a color image processing unit, a monochrome image processing unit and a memory. A processing by the color image processing unit and a processing by the monochrome image processing unit are carried out simultaneously. The document scanning unit scans an original document. The color image processing unit converts scanned data obtained by the document scanning unit into color image data. The monochrome image processing unit converts the scanned data obtained by the document scanning unit into monochrome image data. The memory stores both the color image data and the monochrome image data.
Abstract:
A method for discriminating a color of an object image. Whether unit data showing a color of a part of the object image corresponds to any position on a two-dimensional color plane is discriminated. A distribution value showing a width of a distribution range of the unit data in the color plane is acquired based on the discrimination result. Whether the object image corresponds to a full color image having mixed color expression, a specific color image not having mixed color expression or an achromatic color image is discriminated based on the distribution value.
Abstract:
An image copying apparatus includes a target data acquiring unit, a target data saving unit, an adding unit, a sampling data saving unit, a specifying unit, a sampling data saving unit, and a correcting unit. The target data acquiring unit acquires target data from a test chart document. The adding unit adds data displaying a specification image specifying the scanning unit having scanned a test chart recorded side to the recorded side image data. The sampling data acquiring unit acquires sampling data from a copy of the test chart document. The specifying unit specifies the scanning unit having scanned the test chart recorded side from the specification image. The sampling data saving unit saves the sampling data when the scanning unit having scanned the test chart copied side matches the specified scanning unit. The correcting unit corrects the image data based on a correcting feature generated from the saved data.
Abstract:
A low-cost Multi Function Peripheral (MFP) prevents a user from forgetting to cancel an authenticated state. The MFP includes a scanner unit, a printer unit, a touch screen, and a reset key for initializing various settings. When the user is authenticated, the MFP accepts various operations. Under a state in which the user is authenticated, when the reset key is operated, a control unit executes a logout process.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus that reduces a color of a document image to be printed. An image generation unit scans a document to generate image data. A hue determination unit determines a specific hue included in the image data and a hue becoming a complementary color of the specific hue. A color reduction unit reduces a color of the image data based on the specific hue and the hue becoming the complementary color of the specific hue. An output unit outputs the image data whose color is reduced on a recording medium. Image data that is of a hue in a predetermined range from the hue becoming the complementary color is replaced with the hue becoming the complementary color, and image data that is outside of the predetermined range is replaced with the specific hue.
Abstract:
An image processing device includes an accumulating unit an information deleting unit and an information updating unit. The accumulating unit accumulates image information of a plurality of pages as a multipage file, wherein the multipage file includes identification information associated with the image information of each of the pages. The information deleting unit deletes image information of any page of the multipage file. The information updating unit updates, when image information of one or more of the pages of the multipage file has been deleted by the information deleting unit, identification information corresponding to the image information of the deleted page.

Abstract:
A digital MFP carries out an authentication of an operator by a user ID and a password prior to usage of the digital MFP. The digital MFP requests from the operator an instruction as to whether or not to store the successfully authenticated user ID and password in a flash memory along with a generated abbreviated code. When the operator instructs to store, the successfully authenticated user ID and the password are stored in the flash memory along with the generated abbreviated code. The digital MFP retrieves from the flash memory the user ID and the password that form a pair with the abbreviated code entered by the operator using the operation unit, and acquires authentication success or failure information with respect to the retrieved user ID and the password from an authentication server.
Abstract:
A digital MFP, which offers a function called by an operator, transmits a user ID and a password acquired from the operator to an authentication server and receives an authentication result with respect to the transmitted user ID and the password from the authentication server. The digital MFP receives a permission setting, which is information associated with the successfully authenticated user ID and the password and relates to whether or not to permit to offer a function, from the authentication server, and stores the received permission setting in a RAM. The digital MFP determines whether or not to permit to offer the function after the authentication has succeeded in accordance with the permission setting stored in the RAM.
