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 18188482 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, and a processor to display guidance information on a display unit.
- The placement unit is located on the upper surface of the housing for placing documents.
- The imaging unit captures images of the document placed on the placement unit from above.
- The processor shows guidance information on the display unit to indicate where the document should be placed for imaging.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and legal services for scanning and digitizing documents quickly and efficiently.
Problems Solved
This technology eliminates the need for manual alignment of documents for scanning, reducing errors and increasing productivity in document processing tasks.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in document imaging - Time-saving in document scanning processes - User-friendly interface for easy document placement
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Document Scanning Process for Increased Efficiency
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include traditional document scanners that require manual alignment of documents before scanning.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processor determine the optimal placement of the document on the placement unit?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific technology or algorithms used by the processor to guide users on where to place the document for imaging.
Are there any limitations to the size or type of documents that can be processed by this apparatus?
The abstract does not mention any restrictions on the size or type of documents that can be placed on the placement unit for imaging.
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; and a processor configured to display guidance information indicating that the document to be imaged by the imaging unit is to be placed on the placement unit, on a display unit.
