IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY CONVERTING IMAGE FILE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18320306 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY CONVERTING IMAGE FILE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that efficiently converts image files from one format to another.

  • The apparatus converts a first-format image file into a second-format image file with a smaller memory capacity.
  • The first-format image file includes image data and annotation information.
  • The apparatus records the annotation information into the first-format image file.
  • Based on the annotation information, the apparatus generates annotation information for the second-format image file that fits within a predetermined memory capacity.
  • Before receiving an instruction to convert the image file, the apparatus records the annotation information for the second-format image file into the first-format image file.
  • The apparatus then records the annotation information from the first-format image file into the predetermined memory area of the second-format image file.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus which efficiently converts an image file. The image processing apparatus, based on an instruction, converts a first-format image file including image data and annotation information into a second-format image file having memory capacity of a predetermined area smaller than that of the first-format image file. The image processing apparatus records annotation information into the first-format image file, and generates, based on said annotation information, annotation information for the second-format image file having a size suit for the predetermined area, and before receiving the instruction being received, records the annotation information for the second-format image file into the first-format image file, and records the annotation information for the second-format image file recorded in the first-format image file, into the predetermined area in the second-format image file.
