To accomplish this, in an image processing system including a PC (102) and device (101) connected to a network, the PC (102) has a transfer unit (120) which transfers identification data of the PC (102) to the device (101), and the device (101) has a scanner unit (130) which scans an image and outputs the image data, a memory (140) which stores a destination of the output image data from the scanner unit (130), a transfer unit (150) which transfers the image data to the destination stored in the memory (140), and a registration unit (170) which receives the identification data transferred by the transfer unit (120), and registers the received identification data as a destination of image data in the memory (140).
Abstract:
This invention efficiently implements encoding processes corresponding to respective image processing functions while minimizing the memory use size in the apparatus in an image processing apparatus having many image processing functions. A data processing apparatus of this invention includes a data reception unit for receiving at least data of a first format for respective pages, a data conversion unit for converting the data of the first format into data of a second format, a page data management unit for managing the data of the first and second formats in first and second page data in association with each other, and a control unit for managing whether or not an output processor which executes a predetermined output process with reference to the first or second page data is present. The control unit generates the page data management unit in a memory in response to reception of the data of the first format for respective pages. The control unit monitors the storage states of the data of the first and second formats in the memory, and releases the first or second page data in accordance with the storage states and the reference state by the output processor.
Abstract:
This invention prevents repetitive storage of identical character string data, and efficiently uses a storage area. To accomplish this, a facsimile apparatus 8 has an NIC 1 as a network interface, and also has a display unit 4c as a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main body controller 3 including a memory as a storage means for storing character string data, a display controller 4b as an image generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the character string data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a display data generating means for generating an HTML file as display data described in a markup language by using the character string data stored in the memory, in accordance with a browsing request input via the network interface.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an image processing apparatus that can make effective use of a memory area. To accomplish this, the image processing apparatus comprises storage means having a first management record storage area for storing a first management record used for management of image data and a second management record storage area for storing a second management record linked with the first management record, and acquisition means for acquiring an area for storing the first management record and the second management record in the storage means, the apparatus managing the image data using the first management record and the second management record in the storage means, the apparatus managing the image data using the first management record and the second management record, wherein the acquisition means acquires a storing area for storing the first management record in the second management record storage area, when the storing area for storing the first management record is not acquired in the first management record storage area.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image processing apparatus having a large number of image processing functions, in which resources necessary for code processing units can be suppressed while a large-scale decline in performance is prevented. The apparatus includes a plurality of code processing unit (310) for executing coding and decoding of image data, and a plurality of request-source task units (301 to 308) (print function, scanner function and FAX transceive function). The request-source task units request any ones of the plurality of code converters to perform a code conversion of image data. The number of request-source task units is greater than the number of code converters and a degree of priority has been set for each one. A code-processing acquisition determination unit (309) always assigns the plurality of code converting units to processing requests from request-source task units (301 to 304) having a high priority and, if there is an idle code converting unit among the plurality of code converting units, assigns the code converting unit to a processing request from request-source task unit (305 to 308) having a low priority.
Abstract:
This invention increases the design efficiency of an upper layer such as a job control means. To accomplish this, an image processing apparatus having a plurality of types of external interfaces (a USB and LAN) different in protocol has an external interface adaptor 203 which dynamically allocates external interfaces as objects of processing to lower layer IDs within a predetermined range, and a job controller 202 which controls execution of various types of jobs by using the lower layer IDs, and a value which the lower layer ID can take is constant regardless of the type of external interface.

A data processing apparatus of this invention includes a data reception unit for receiving at least data of a first format for respective pages, a data conversion unit for converting the data of the first format into data of a second format, a page data management unit for managing the data of the first and second formats in first and second page data in association with each other, and a control unit for monitoring a storage state of the data of the first format in the memory, and permitting a predetermined process for the data of the first format in accordance with the storage state. When the control unit determines that storage of the data of the first format in the memory is complete, the control unit permits the data conversion unit to start a data conversion operation from the first format to the second format. Also, the control unit monitors completion of the conversion operation of the data conversion unit and a storage state of the data of the second format in the memory, and permits a predetermined process for the data of the second format in accordance with the storage state.
