| 20090040573 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus and an image processing method, the image processing apparatus including: an image processor to convert a first scan image having a first color gamut, into a second scan image having a second color gamut, and to generates an image file according to the second scan image having a profile including information on a difference between the first and second color gamuts; and a controller to determine the difference between the first and second color gamuts, and to control the image processor to generate the image file. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100034380 | SCANNING APPARATUS, HOST APPARATUS AND SCAN IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD THEREOF - A scanning apparatus, a host apparatus and a scan image processing method thereof. The scan image processing method of the scanning apparatus includes generating a scan image by using a scan target document, obtaining an encryption key which includes color space information, and performing encrypting for the scan image by using the encryption key. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100315686 | Host apparatus and control method thereof, and image reading apparatus controlled by host apparatus - A method for controlling the host apparatus includes searching for at least one image reading apparatus being connected to the host apparatus; displaying a list of image reading apparatuses using the first information of the searched at least one image reading apparatus; selecting one of the at least image reading apparatus from the displayed list of image reading apparatuses; displaying a user interface (UI) for selecting a scanning option which includes the second information of the selected image reading apparatus using the second information corresponding to the selected image reading apparatus; and controlling the selected image reading apparatus to perform a scanning operation according to the scanning option which is input through the UI for selecting a scanning option. Accordingly, a plurality of image reading apparatuses are controlled by a single universal driver without the need of installing driver programs for each of the image reading apparatuses. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110026060 | Hose device, image reading apparatus, and method of controlling image reading apparatus using host device - A host device, an image reading apparatus, and a method of controlling the image reading apparatus using the host device are provided. A method of controlling an image reading apparatus using a host device includes receiving input of at least one scanning function for an image reading apparatus to be used, searching for at least one image reading apparatus connected to the host device, extracting at least one image reading apparatus supporting the at least one scanning function based on the search result, displaying a list of the extracted at least one image reading apparatus, and displaying a driver user interface (UI) corresponding to a selected image reading apparatus when an image reading apparatus to be used is selected from the list. Therefore, the user may select a desired image reading apparatus with greater ease. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110026061 | Host device with universal image scanning device driver and driver management method thereof - A host device and a driver management method of the host device are provided. The driver management method of the host device includes searching for at least one image scanning device connected to the host device, displaying a list of the at least one image scanning device found as a result of searching, selecting one of the at least one image scanning device from the displayed list, generating a user-specified driver for the selected image scanning device, and adding the generated user-specified driver. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the use of a universal image scanning device driver. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110043841 | Host apparatus and method to share favorite image reading apparatuses thereof - A host apparatus and a method to share favorite image reading apparatuses thereof are provided. The method to share favorite image reading apparatuses of a host apparatus includes registering at least one of searched image reading apparatuses to a list of favorite image reading apparatuses; selecting at least one of the registered favorite image reading apparatuses to be shared; activating a sharing function to share the selected favorite image reading apparatus; transmitting the list of favorite image reading apparatuses to or receiving a list of favorite image reading apparatuses from another host apparatus of which the sharing function is activated. Therefore, a universal driver may share a list of favorite image reading apparatuses. | 02-24-2011 |
