| 20080304700 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF IMAGE FORMING - An apparatus for and a method of image forming which embeds digital watermark information into an image data of a document and outputs the image data that includes determining the page of the document in which the digital watermark information is to be embedded based on a predetermined condition, the predetermined condition corresponding to whether the document is composed of two or more pages, embedding the digital watermark information into the page of the document determined by the above described determination and outputting the image data which is embedded in the digital watermark information by the above described embedding. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090007019 | Image processing device, image processing method, and computer program product - A thumbnail generating section of a server generates a plurality of thumbnail images from a registration image received through an external I/F section and stores the generated thumbnail images in an image DB. The image DB stores therein registration images received through the external I/F section and the thumbnail images generated by the thumbnail generating section. A display screen controlling section generates a display screen to be displayed by a client. The display screen controlling section controls the display screen by generating the display screen in adherence to screen control data transmitted from the client. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20110058228 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus is disclosed, including a marking position detection part and a first character recognition part. The marking position detection part detects a marking position with respect to a first sheet based on first image data scanned from the first sheet. The first character recognition part conducts a first character recognition with respect to an area specified based on the marking position, for second image data scanned from a second sheet. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20090067747 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING IMAGE DISPLAY DATA - An apparatus generates display data on a display unit. An image constructing unit constructs an image of an image list including a plurality of images each corresponding to an image data file. A data output unit outputs first display data of the image list, and then, when a switching command is received from a user, outputs second display data of the image list in response to the switching command. A confirmation calculating unit calculates a degree of confirmation indicating whether a user confirmation is performed for each of the images in the image list. An image modifying unit modifies the images in the image list based on the degree of confirmation. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090074236 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE READING METHOD - In an image forming apparatus, a reader reads an image of one page of an original thereby obtaining image data. A determining unit determines whether embedded data has been embedded in the image data. An extracting unit extracts the embedded data, acquires a target page number of a reading unnecessary page based on the embedded data, and saves the page number in a storage unit. A page number determining unit determines whether a page number of a next page of the original matches with the target page number. Upon the page number of the next page matching with the target page number, the reader does not read image data of the next page. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090106699 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An object analyzing unit analyzes images read from a storage unit and classifies objects contained in the images by object attribute. A display-method determining unit determines display positions of thumbnails of the images containing each object for every object attribute classified by the object analyzing unit. A thumbnail generating unit generates the thumbnails of the images containing each object, and outputs a thumbnail list image by placing the thumbnails at the display positions determined by the display-method determining unit. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090110300 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE - A classifying unit classifies a plurality of images by attributes. An obtaining unit obtains image characteristic information indicating an image characteristic from each of classified images. A first generating unit generates a characteristic amount vector for each of the images using the attributes and the image characteristic. A determining unit determines display positions of thumbnail images of the images based on the characteristic amount vector. A second generating unit generates the thumbnail images and a list of thumbnail images in which the thumbnail images are arranged in the display positions. | 04-30-2009 |
| 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 |
| 20100067736 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - Encoding information is assigned to each block according to a position of the block in an image of the color image data. An image analyzing unit analyzes the block and outputs a feature value. A block determining unit determines whether the block is an embedding-possible block based on the feature value and demarcates a watermark embedding area in the embedding-possible block. An embedding unit embeds the watermark information by deforming the watermark embedding area according to a pattern that represents the watermark information and replacing a pixel in the watermark embedding area with another pixel near the pixel to be replaced. | 03-18-2010 |
