    摘要: A bus monitor section 8 calculates bus-occupancy rate for each of the DMA control sections 1 to 3 connected to a bus 5 in accordance with bus-use permission signals ack1 to ack3, respectively. Furthermore, a bus-use reconcilement section 6 changes manners of bus-use reconcilement control when the sum of a plurality of bus-occupancy rate exceeds “50”, a predetermined threshold. Thereby, this method avoids occurrences such that a specific device occupies the bus 5 or vice versa, a specific device cannot get access to the bus 5.

    摘要: A memory error detecting device for an image forming apparatus having a memory unit, a first generating means, a second generating means, a comparison means, and a memory error warning means. The first generating means generates first information related to first image data input to the memory unit. The second generating means generates second information related to second image data output from the memory unit. The comparison means compares the first information with the second information, and generates a comparison result signal. The memory error warning means signifies an error in the memory unit when the comparison result signal indicates that the first information differs from the second information.

    摘要: An additional data useful for the management of copies of a document for an image forming apparatus is embedded in a hard copy of the document. The additional data is embedded in an inherent image of a document as discrete dots arranged in a prescribed format. Preferably, the size of each of said discrete dots is not so large as to be recognized easily with naked eyes. The additional data can be embedded in unit of blocks. Further, the density of the discrete dots is different from the density adjacent to the discrete dots. The image data for embedding an additional data can be obtained by reading a document, or by receiving data sent from a computer or read from a floppy disk. An additional data embedded in a hard copy can be extracted from the image data on the hard copy. Further, the production of a copy according to the image data can be controlled according to the extracted additional data. For example, if the additional data means that the source of the hard copy is a secret document, the copying is allowed only for a legitimate user. An additional data is generated for each copy according to the extracted additional data for embedding it in a hard copy to identify each copy. The additional data generated for each copy are compiled and they are used to manage copies of various sources systematically and illegal copies can be traced easily. If the additional data received from a printer is not consistent with the additional data already stored, the printing may be prohibited. A transmitter for transmitting an additional data may be provided in a document such as a book.

    摘要: The invention relates to an image reading apparatus for reading images of original documents by moving the original relative to a stationary image reader. A single image reader is used in a first embodiment. When reading the image of a first side, the single image reader is stationary at a first position to read the original. When reading the image of a second side, the single image reader is moved to a second position corresponding to the size of the original, and reads the image of the second side while said image reader is stationary at the second position. The image reading apparatus of the second embodiment uses a stationary first reader for reading a first side of an original, and a movable second image reader for reading a second side of an original. The image reading apparatus of the second embodiment changes the position of the image reader in accordance with the size of the original.

    摘要: In a data processor, image data of a pixel matrix is subjected to orthogonal transformation to coefficient data, the coefficient data is quantized with a first quantization table for character image and a second quantization table for half-tone image, and the image data is discriminated to be character image data or half-tone image data according to the quantization data. The selected data is then coded. In another processor, image data are divided into first and second processing blocks of m*m and M*M pixel matrices wherein M>m and the second processing block includes one of first processing blocks and adjacent pixels. Image data in a first and second processing block are subjected to orthogonal transformation to coefficient data. It is discriminated according to the coefficient data of the second processing block if the image is a character, dot, or half-tone image to select an appropriate quantization table, and image data of the first block is quantized according to the selected table and the quantized data are coded. In a further processor, two discrimination windows are provided, the first having coefficient data around the DC component and the second having the other data. Orthogonal transform coefficients of image data in a processing block are calculated, and maximum of absolute values in the windows are obtained. An image is discriminated to be a dot image if the maximum of the first window is larger than the second and larger than a threshold value.
