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.
