Abstract: Various embodiments provide for a layered approach to developing operating system platform components such as a color management system. This can be accomplished by providing new functionality and by utilizing an existing API module comprising existing APIs to receive input that can be associated with either current functionality, legacy functionality, or the new functionality. Furthermore, a rule-based module conceptually located below the operating system's existing public API module can be used to determine the appropriate processing functionality for the received input—which can then be processed accordingly.

Abstract translation: 各种实施例提供了开发诸如颜色管理系统之类的操作系统平台组件的分层方法。 这可以通过提供新的功能并且利用包括现有API的现有API模块来接收可以与当前功能，旧功能或新功能相关联的输入来实现。 此外，概念上位于操作系统现有公共API模块下面的基于规则的模块可以用于确定所接收的输入的适当的处理功能，然后可以相应地处理。

Abstract: A system and method for image acquisition enables selective automated application of color management to color image data generated by an image-capturing device by the device driver for the device. In the image acquisition system, each image-capturing device has properties or operation parameters that can be set to control the operation of the device. During an image acquisition operation, color image data generated by the image-capturing device are transmitted to the device driver. If the operation parameters of the device are set to indicate that color management is to be performed, the device driver calls color management functions provided by the operating system to perform the desired color operation, such as a color space conversion, on the received color image data. The processed color image data are then sent to the image-processing application for further processing or editing.

Abstract: An extended colorspace which has a higher accuracy and a wider gamut than sRGB color space is disclosed. The extended color space includes an alpha channel which defines the translucency of the color image. The alpha channel is different from known alpha channels in that the inventive alpha channel can represent “super transparent” and “super opaque” values by allowing the alpha parameter (α) to be greater than 1 and less than 0. A data structure for storing the extended colorspace information has three fields, a sign field, an integer field and a decimal field. The sign field defines whether an integer is negative or positive. The integer field defines the integer, wherein the integer defines the super or under saturated values for color and alpha components. The decimal field defines the fine detailed information for the value of the color and alpha components.

Abstract translation: 公开了具有比sRGB色彩空间更高的精度和更宽的色域的扩展颜色空间。 扩展的颜色空间包括定义彩色图像的半透明度的α通道。 α通道与已知的α通道不同，因为本发明的α通道可以通过允许α参数（α）大于1且小于0来表示“超透明”和“超不透明”值。 扩展颜色空间信息有三个字段，一个符号字段，一个整数字段和一个十进制字段。 符号字段定义整数是否为负数或正数。 整数字段定义整数，其中整数定义颜色和alpha分量的超饱和值。 十进制字段定义颜色和alpha组件的值的精细详细信息。

The extended color space includes an alpha channel which defines the translucency of the color image. The alpha channel is different from known alpha channels in that the inventive alpha channel can represent “super transparent” and “super opaque” values by allowing the alpha parameter (&agr;) to be greater than 1 and less than 0. A data structure for storing the extended colorspace information has three fields, a sign field, an integer field and a decimal field. The sign field defines whether an integer is negative or positive. The integer field defines the integer, wherein the integer defines the super or under saturated values for color and alpha components.
