IMAGE READING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323297 titled 'IMAGE READING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system with a transport section for moving a document, a reading section for scanning an image of the document, and a rotation member with background sections of different colors that can be rotated to change the background of the reading section.

Key Features and Innovation:

Transport section for moving documents
Reading section for scanning document images
Rotation member with background sections of different colors
Ability to change background color of reading section by rotating the rotation member

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in scanning devices, photocopiers, and printers to enhance the readability of scanned documents.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of document legibility by providing a contrasting background color for scanned images.

Benefits:

Improved readability of scanned documents
Enhanced contrast for better image quality
Customizable background colors for user preference

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable in the office equipment industry, particularly in the development of advanced scanning and printing devices.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the rotation member change the background color of the reading section? 2. What are the potential benefits of having background sections of different colors in a scanning device?

Original Abstract Submitted

it includes a transport section configured to transport a document, a reading section configured to read an image of the document transported in a transport direction by the transport section, and a rotation member that is provided with, on a peripheral surface, at least two background sections having colors different in brightness from each other, that is provided at a position facing the reading section, and that, by rotating, changes a position of the background section with respect to a reading position of the reading section, wherein the rotation member is separable from the reading section.
