==IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18188489 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that includes a placement unit for documents, an imaging unit, a light emitting device, and a processor. The processor controls the light emitting device to not emit light when a document is detected on the placement unit.

* The apparatus includes a placement unit on the housing for documents.
* An imaging unit captures images of the placement unit from above.
* A light emitting device illuminates the placement unit.
* The processor controls the light emitting device to not emit light when a document is detected.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be used in scanning devices, photocopiers, and document processing machines.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps prevent unnecessary light exposure to documents, which can improve image quality and reduce potential damage to sensitive documents.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, reduced risk of document damage, and enhanced document processing efficiency.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology could be applied in office equipment, document management systems, and scanning services.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include document scanners with light emitting devices, imaging units, and processors for document processing.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the processor detect the presence of a document on the placement unit? ===
The abstract does not provide details on the specific method used for detecting documents.

=== What types of documents are compatible with this image processing apparatus? ===
The abstract does not specify the compatibility of different document types with the apparatus.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image processing apparatus includes a placement unit that is provided on an upper surface of a housing and on which a document is placed, an imaging unit that images the placement unit from above, a light emitting device that causes at least a part of the placement unit to emit light, and a processor configured to: control the light emitting device not to emit light, in a case where it is detected that the document is placed on the placement unit.
