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.
