IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055085 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can communicate with a system having a censorship function. The apparatus includes controllers with processors and memories. The controllers are designed to transmit an image from a display medium to the system, receive a censorship result from the system, and control the apparatus to perform a specific operation based on the received censorship result.

  • The image processing apparatus can communicate with a system that has a censorship function.
  • It can read and transmit images from a display medium to the system.
  • The apparatus receives a censorship result from the system.
  • Based on the received censorship result, the apparatus performs a predetermined operation.
  • The predetermined operation is a preset operation specific to the image processing apparatus.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in devices like photocopiers or scanners that need to comply with censorship regulations.
  • It can be applied in systems that require content filtering or moderation, such as social media platforms or online content sharing platforms.

Problems Solved

  • The image processing apparatus allows for seamless integration with a system that has a censorship function.
  • It automates the process of performing a predetermined operation based on the received censorship result, reducing manual intervention.

Benefits

  • The apparatus simplifies the process of complying with censorship regulations by automatically performing the necessary operations.
  • It ensures that sensitive or inappropriate content is appropriately handled and processed.
  • The technology increases efficiency by automating the censorship-related operations, saving time and effort.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus is communicable with a system including a censorship function, and includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, and the one or more controllers are configured to transmit an image acquired by reading a display medium to the system, receive a censorship result from the system, and control the image processing apparatus to perform a predetermined operation corresponding to the received censorship result, wherein the predetermined operation is a preset operation to be performed by the image processing apparatus based on the received censorship result.
