20090268251 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a color transformation unit and an image processing unit. The color transformation unit color-transforms pixel values of respective pixels expressed by input image information from values in a color space of the input image information into values in a color space of a printer to generate images of respective color plates in the color space of the printer, and generates a control image in which each pixel has a pixel value indicating a type of an image object to which each pixel belongs. The image processing unit applies image processing to each pixel in the image of each color plate in accordance with the type of the image object indicated by the pixel value of a pixel, corresponding to each pixel in the image of each color plate, of the control image and feeds the processed images of the respective color plates to the printer. | 10-29-2009 |
20100149561 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM AND COMPUTER DATA SIGNAL - An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a search unit, a determination unit, a conversion unit and an output unit. The receiving unit receives a command for forming an image. The search unit searches for color designation information that designates specific color information and is included in the received command. The determination unit determines a type of the color information designated by the color designation information found by the search. The conversion unit converts the color designation information into information conforming to a common expression rule, based on a conversion rule that is set for each type of the color information. The output unit outputs the information obtained by the converting. | 06-17-2010 |
20110043835 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a spot color area detection unit, an erasing determination unit and a drawing control unit. The spot color area detection unit detects a spot color area in image information. The erasing determination unit determines, based on designation regarding drawing of the spot color area, as to whether or not a non-spot color area overlapping the spot color area is to be erased. The drawing control unit outputs an instruction of erasing the spot color area and determines a drawing range of the non-spot color area based on a determination result of the erasing determination unit. | 02-24-2011 |

20090051974 | Image processing device - An image processing device is structured such that an appropriate judgement of an image, at which blurring or disappearance or the like will occur, is possible. When pixels, which form a line image at which there is the possibility that blurring or disappearance will occur at the time of printing by using a printing plate, are extracted, a line image warning function gives notice by displaying a warning message on a monitor of a client terminal. Thereafter, image converting and print setting are carried out such that an extracted line image is clarified. In this way, when a proof is prepared, an image, at which there is the possibility that blurring or disappearance will occur on a printed matter obtained by using a printing plate, is clarified, and appropriate proofing is possible. | 02-26-2009 |

20090066983 | Image processing device and method - The present invention provides an image processing device and an image processing method, which prevent printing mishaps from occurring in printed matter when a user performs a printing process without knowing an EPS image that has been subjected to JPEG compression is included on a page layout. When an EPS image is detected, a warning is generated to request selection of the next process. For this reason, when interruption of printing is designated, the printing process is interrupted. The use of a warning color or application of an outline may be designated, and a drawing setting may also be performed according to the designation. An output of a warning page is designated, and a setting may also be performed such that a print output is obtained by either extracting a compressed image or by deleting a compressed image. | 03-12-2009 |
20090116050 | Image processing device - The present invention provides an image processing device which aims for appropriate settings and simplification of printing functions. In a print server, when a print job is received, an application name used in a client terminal is specified from a drawing command of the print job, and standard settings of printing functions provided for each application are read from database files. Thereafter, the standard settings and settings of printing functions of the print job are compared. When the settings are different, after carrying out a warning processing, setting of printing functions based on the standard settings is carried out, and image processing and printing processing based on the set printing functions are executed. In this way, while simplifying settings of printing functions in the client terminal, image processing and printing processing by appropriate printing functions are possible. | 05-07-2009 |

20080266605 | IMAGE-PROCESSING UNIT, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image-processing unit includes: a common drawing data acquisition component that acquires drawing data for a unit page containing a common image in variable printing whereby a plurality of pages are printed, with each of the pages having an image that is common among the pages and an image that is variable from page to page, the images being compounded; a variable drawing data acquisition component that acquires drawing data for a unit page containing the variable image at each page in the variable printing; a specification component that specifies, for each of the pages, a region where the common image is positioned over the variable image, among regions where the variable image is positioned; and a generation component that overwrites the common drawing data with the variable drawing data so as not to overwrite the specified region, and generates drawing data for variable printing. | 10-30-2008 |
20110141129 | IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - According to an aspect of the invention, an image information processing apparatus includes an input unit, a search unit, and an invalidation unit. The input unit is a unit to which image forming information containing a drawing command for an apparatus for forming an image on a medium is input. The search unit searches the image forming information for a given drawing command of a white image element, the given drawing command containing an over command to set a color of a portion overlapping a different image element in a color determined by a relationship with the color of the different image element. The invalidation unit invalidates the over command in the given drawing command found by the search unit. | 06-16-2011 |
