摘要:
This invention provides the following environment. That is, an original document file corresponding to a document to be copied is specified from image data of that document to be copied, and a print process is made based on the specified file so as to prevent deterioration of image quality. Also, when a document to be copied is not registered, a registration process is executed to suppress deterioration of image quality in an early stage. Furthermore, since the document is converted into vector data, re-use of such document is facilitated, and deterioration of image quality can be suppressed even when an image process such as enlargement or the like is made. To this end, when an original digital file cannot be specified, an apparatus of this embodiment executes a vectorization process (S54), converts the obtained vector data into a data format that can be re-used by an application (S55), and registers the converted file in a file server (S56). With this registration process, since the location of the file is settled, that location information is composited on an image to be scanned using an identifier such as a two-dimensional barcode or the like (S48), and the composite image can be printed (S49). Even when the printed document is scanned again, a registered digital file can be easily specified.

Stored digital data is searched for on the basis of an input image, difference information is extracted by comparing the retrieved digital data and the input image, and the difference information is composited to the digital data. Digital data generated by composition is stored. When no digital data is retrieved, the input image is converted into vector data, and the image that has been converted into the vector data is stored as digital data. Obtained region segmentation information and an input image are composited, the composite image is displayed on an operation screen of an MFP, and a rectangular block to be vectorized is designated as a specific region from the displayed region segmentation information. A user designates the specific region by designating rectangular blocks in an image using a pointing device.

This invention provides an image processing method which allows easy re-use of image information that is stored to minimize deterioration of image quality and the storage capacity. Storage means is searched for original digital data corresponding to each input image. If no original digital data is found, the input image is converted into vector data, and is stored as digital data in the storage means. A sheet including at least one of information associated with the found original digital data when the original digital data is found in the search step and information associated with digital data which is obtained by converting the image into the vector data in the vectorization step and is stored in the storage step when no original digital data is found in the search step is generated, thus providing a sheet that allows easy re-use.

The present invention implements a scan-prohibited function without deteriorating operability. Therefore, the following are performed: a scan-prohibited character string registration; the setting of a rate of object matching; an extraction process operation mode registration in the case where said string is included in print data; a scanning process operation mode registration in the case where said string is included in scanned and obtained data; searching print data for said string; extraction/storing of object data in the print data in accordance with an extraction process operation mode; extraction of object data of scanned image data; comparison of object data between stored print data and scanned image data; comparison of a rate of matching calculated by the comparison with a predetermined one; and if the calculated rate is determined to be higher than the predetermined one, a post-scan process in accordance with the scanning process operation mode.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus includes a storage destination setting unit that sets a storage destination for storing image data acquired by reading an image of a document. An input unit is configured to input first image data and second image data. A determination unit acquires processing instruction information by analyzing the second image data and determines whether a description included in a processing target field of the first image data is appropriate. A transmission unit transmits the first image data to the storage destination. A generation unit generates processing instruction information to be used in re-storage processing, and an output unit outputs data including the processing instruction information to a printing unit.

An image processing apparatus generates a password each time transmission of image data is instructed, encrypts the image data with the generated password, transmits the encrypted image data, and notifies the generated password.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus capable of preventing image processing from being performed on data for which an appropriate image processing cannot be carried out and improving the reliability of equipment signature. An MFP as the image processing apparatus reads an original, creates and stores electronic data, and stores electronic data created by an external unit. The electronic data created by the MFP is stored in association with MFP identification information. Electronic data created by the MFP among the stored electronic data is determined based on the MFP identification information. Execution of a function of the MFP on electronic data created by the external unit is restricted.

An image processing device includes: a reading unit to read information stored in a detachable storage medium; a transmission unit to transmit image data outwardly; a determination unit to determine, in a case where the transmission unit transmits the image data, whether or not the information stored in the detachable storage medium is necessary; and a control unit to execute, in a case where the determination unit determines that the information stored in the detachable storage medium is necessary, control to maintain a state capable of reading the information stored in the detachable storage medium until the reading unit reads from the detachable storage medium the information necessary to transmit the image data.
摘要:
There is disclosed a printing system which can limit users who access a hot folder as a common folder, and need not prepare for another server only for user management. In a printing system of this invention, a management server monitors digital data stored in the hot folder, and limits users who can access the hot folder. When the management server detects that print data is input to the hot folder, a user verification dialog is displayed on a computer as a print data input source to make user verification. When the user verification has succeeded, the digital data input to the hot folder is printed using a printer; when the user verification has failed, the print process of the digital data input to the hot folder using the printer is canceled, thereby limiting the user who accesses the hot folder.
