MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178044 titled 'MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The management apparatus described in the patent application is designed to monitor the brightness of images captured by an image reading apparatus when reading documents. If the brightness of the read image differs from a pre-set threshold value, the management apparatus will notify the image reading apparatus.

  • Processor causes camera to capture and read image of document bed
  • Compares brightness of read image to pre-set threshold value
  • Notifies image reading apparatus if brightness difference exceeds threshold

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where accurate document scanning is crucial, such as banking, healthcare, and legal services.

Problems Solved

This technology helps ensure the quality and accuracy of scanned documents by alerting the image reading apparatus of any significant differences in brightness.

Benefits

- Improved document scanning accuracy - Real-time notification of potential issues - Enhanced overall document management efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Document Scanning Accuracy in Various Industries"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to image processing and document scanning technologies, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does the management apparatus determine the threshold value for brightness comparison?

The patent application does not specify the method used to establish the threshold value for brightness comparison.

Are there any limitations to the types of documents that can be scanned using this technology?

The patent application does not address any potential limitations regarding the types of documents that can be scanned with this management apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

A management apparatus includes a processor configured to cause a camera of an image reading apparatus to capture and read an image of a document bed on which a document is placed, and if a brightness of a read image obtained by reading the document bed differs from a brightness acquired in advance by a threshold value or more, indicate the brightness of the read image in a notification to the image reading apparatus.
