IMAGE READING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291927 titled 'IMAGE READING APPARATUS
The image reading apparatus described in the abstract includes a separating roller that can switch between a separation state and a non-separation state, based on the types of original documents set through a user interface.
- The separating roller can determine whether to separate or not separate the original document based on the document type selected by the user.
- The user interface allows the user to select the types of original documents to be read and start the reading process.
- This innovation provides flexibility in handling different types of original documents efficiently.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in scanning devices to improve document handling. - It can be integrated into photocopiers and printers for better document processing.
Problems Solved: - Efficient separation of original documents based on their types. - Streamlining the document reading process for different document types.
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with customizable document handling options. - Improved accuracy in document reading and processing.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Document Handling Technology for Scanning Devices This technology can be marketed to companies that rely on document scanning and processing, such as offices, libraries, and educational institutions. It can improve workflow efficiency and accuracy in document management systems.
Questions about Image Reading Apparatus: 1. How does the separating roller determine whether to separate or not separate the original document? The separating roller makes this determination based on the types of original documents set through a user interface, allowing for customized document handling.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond document scanning? This technology can also be applied in photocopiers and printers to enhance document processing capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image reading apparatus includes a separating roller that is capable of switching between a separation state in which an original document is separated and a non-separation state in which the original document is not separated, and determines whether or not the original document is fed in the separation state or the non-separation state based on the types of the original document set through a user interface for instructing a select of the types of the original document to be read and a start of reading the original document.
