20090077168 | ACCESS CONTROL METHOD AND ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE - A client device and a server device are connected to each other via a network. The client device sends an acquire request containing an identifier that indentifies the partial image data to the server device. The server device extracts the identifier from the acquire request, and acquires image information about the partial image data that corresponds to the identifier from an identifier table. Then the server acquires partial image data corresponding to the image information from a partial image data database and sends the acquired partial image data to the client device via the network. | 03-19-2009 |
20090119583 | IMAGE DISPLAYING APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, AND IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM - An attribute determining unit determines an attribute of image data of an image. A still-image extracting unit extracts, when the attribute is a moving image, a still image from the image data. A feature-amount obtaining unit obtains a feature amount from image data of the still image and image data of a still image when the attribute is the still image. An arrangement-position determining unit determines an arrangement position of a display area based on the feature amount. A display-image generating unit generates a thumbnail image from the still image and displays a list of thumbnail images in the display area, based on the arrangement position and the display area. | 05-07-2009 |
20090119585 | IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS, IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD, IMAGE DISPLAY PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A disclosed image display apparatus for displaying multiple images on a single screen includes a magnification unit configured to, in response to a zooming operation on the screen, magnify distances between centroids of first group images included in the multiple images and magnify the first group images; and a display control unit configured to display in a space of the magnified distances one or more images different from the multiple images. A magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a nonlinear relationship to a magnification rate of the first group images, and within an extent of the nonlinear relationship, the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids has a predetermined range in which the magnification rate of the first group images is larger than the magnification rate of the distances between the centroids. | 05-07-2009 |
20090238483 | Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product - A determining unit determines whether a background pixel value of image data matches a predetermined comparison value. A replacing unit replaces, when the determining unit determines that the background pixel value does not match the comparison value, a pixel value of a pixel of the image data with a replacing value that is obtained by subtracting the pixel value from a predetermined maximum pixel value. An encoding unit generates encoded data by encoding the image data in which the pixel value is replaced with the replacing value by using a predetermined encoding system. | 09-24-2009 |
20100034473 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - In an image processing apparatus, an encoding unit encodes a processed image; a determining unit determines whether a reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing; and a decoding unit decodes, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, a piece of rectangular block code data of a rectangular block thereby acquiring a second decoded image. The encoding unit refers to, when the determining unit determines that the reference pixel has been subjected to the image processing, the processed image and encodes the second decoded image. | 02-11-2010 |
20110064309 | Image processing apparatus and image processing method - An image processing apparatus includes an image separating unit that separates and creates a plurality of derivative images from an input image based on feature of the input image; a coding unit that codes each of the derivative images separately, couples coded data of the derivative images, and generates multilayer structure data; and a controller that controls a code amount of coded data of at least one derivative image with a low code assignment priority out of the derivative images so that a data amount of the multilayer structure data is equal to or less than a limit amount. | 03-17-2011 |
20110164283 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus having an image data storing unit configured to store image data, an image data receiving unit configured to receive image data scanned the image forming apparatus, and to store the image data to the image data storing unit. There is a layout generation unit configured to generate layout information for arranging the plural image data in the image data storing unit according to a rule, a layout image generation unit configured to generate a layout image data arranged the image data according to the layout information if a certain output condition is satisfied, and a print control unit configured to cause the image forming apparatus to print the layout image data. | 07-07-2011 |
20110170122 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing system includes an information processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus that are connected via a network. The information processing apparatus receives inputs designating scan setting and a layout method, and transmits the scan setting and the layout method to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus reads an original document according to the scan setting, outputs image data, extracts a content from the image data according to the layout method, and transmits the content to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus determines, according to the layout method, a layout of the content on a page, arranges the content on the page according to the layout, and generates the drawing data. The image forming apparatus forms an image on a sheet of paper corresponding to the page according to drawing data. | 07-14-2011 |
