Abstract:
The invention discloses an independent scanning apparatus and an independent scanning method. The independent scanning apparatus of the invention includes a casing, a sheet-feeding mechanism, a scanning device, a store module, and a processing module. The casing includes an inlet and an outlet. The sheet-feeding mechanism is disposed in the casing for transporting an object through the inlet and the outlet. The scanning device is disposed in the casing for scanning the object. The processing module is disposed in the casing and electrically connected to the sheet-feeding mechanism, the scanning device and the store module. When the object enters the casing through the inlet and the independent scanning apparatus receives an actuation instruction, the sheet-feeding mechanism transport the object from a first position toward the outlet and the scanning device starts to scan the object to generate scanned image data which is then stored in the store module, and when the object arrives at a second position, the scanning device stops the scanning. A modified image data could be determined according to the analysis of the scanned image data.
Abstract:
A printing device includes a print unit for printing data. In each printing procedure, the printer separates at least a printing division from a path that the print unit passes through in the printing procedure and determines if the path includes a non-printing division according to the print data. The printer controls the print unit to move at a first velocity and print the document when the print unit passes through the printing division. If the path includes a non-printing division, the printer controls the print unit to stop printing the document and to move at a second velocity within the non-printing division when the print unit passes through the non-printing division.
Abstract:
A sheet-fed scanning device including a first scanning channel and a second scanning channel disposed in parallel, a first sensing element and a second sensing element is provided. The first sensing element corresponds to the first scanning channel for acquiring the image of a first type object. The first type object has a first surface which is adjacent to the first sensing element and within the range of the field depth of the first sensing element. The second sensing element corresponds to the second scanning channel for acquiring the image of a second type object. The second type object has a second surface adjacent to the second sensing element and a third surface dented to the second surface, wherein the third surface is within the range of the field depth of the second sensing element.
Abstract:
The invention provides an object-detecting system and method for detecting information of an object located in an indicating space. In particular, the invention is to capture images relative to the indicating space by use of non-coincident fields of light, and further to determine the information of the object located in the indicating space in accordance with the captured images.
Abstract:
A scanning device includes a housing, a transparent plate, an document feeder and an image capture module. The housing has an opening and the transparent plate covers the opening. The transparent plate has a stripe area, a first side neighboring to the stripe area, and a second side. The document feeder has an aperture. The image capture module, capable to move below the transparent plate, has a first scanning origin corresponding to the stripe area, and a second scanning origin corresponding to the second side. When the object is placed on the transparent plate, the image capture module moves from the second scanning origin toward the stripe area to scan the object. When the object is placed on the document feeder, the object is transported to pass the first scanning origin, and the image capture module is simultaneously positioned below the stripe area to scan the object through the aperture.
Abstract:
A film scanning method is provided. When the film is judged as a negative film, the scanning device sets the scan exposure time for the film according to the base background color of the film. The negative film is scanned for the scan exposure time, wherein, the film passes through the scanning device at one time so as to complete the above judge of the film type and scanning of the film. The film scanning method automatically completes the recognition of film type, performs accurate scanning based on the scan exposure time, expands the dynamic range and reduces noise impacts, so as to obtain a scanned image with higher accuracy.
Abstract:
A scan method includes providing a scanner, including an image sensor, a reference pattern and a transmission mechanism. The image sensor scans the reference pattern to generate reference data. The transmission mechanism transmits at least one recording media between the reference pattern and the image sensor. Finally, the image sensor generates scan data, and the scanner compares the scan data with the reference data to obtain a transmission condition thereof.
Abstract:
A method for printing data includes the following steps. First, an ink jet printer, having a print head with a black jet and a color jet, for printing a swath of data is provided. Then, the print head is driven to start to print the swath of data on one side of the ink jet printer. Next, the black jet and the color jet are alternately triggered to print corresponding pieces of black data and corresponding pieces of color data in the swath of data. Thereafter, the swath of data is completely printed when the print head is driven to the other side of ink jet printer.
Abstract:
An image processing method of an image processing system. The image processing system has a memory for storing programs and a picture image, and a processor for executing the programs stored in the memory. The picture image has a plurality of pixels. The method has three steps. The first step is to find at least one image area with a predetermined characteristic from the picture image according to a predetermined image area detecting method. The second step is to define a boundary area around the image area according to a predetermined boundary area defining method. The third step is to adjust pixels inside the image area according to a predetermined color adjusting method, and adjust pixels inside the boundary area according to a different but similar color adjusting method so that the color adjustment can be extended from the image area to the boundary area.
Abstract:
A single-button support mechanism is provided to improve a turning means joining an upper portion and a body of a device. The support mechanism constructs a pivot and a holding groove at the upper portion and, at the body, a cam trough, a button groove, and another groove for accommodating a retaining member to further hold a first spring. The cam is formed as saw type teeth at a peripheral thereof, and each tooth of the cam has a notch engageable with a position button. By applying the single-button support mechanism, the turning means can utilize the cam moving in the cam trough for engaging with the upper portion at a selected angle, and utilize the position button movable in the button groove for controlling the opening or closing of the upper portion.
