Abstract: A visible light sensor may be configured to sense environmental characteristics of a space using an image of the space. The visible light sensor may be controlled in one or more modes, including a daylight glare sensor mode, a daylighting sensor mode, a color sensor mode, and/or an occupancy/vacancy sensor mode. In the daylight glare sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to decrease or eliminate glare within a space. In the daylighting sensor mode and the color sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to provide a preferred amount of light and color temperature, respectively, within the space. In the occupancy/vacancy sensor mode, the visible light sensor may be configured to detect an occupancy/vacancy condition within the space and adjust one or more control devices according to the occupation or vacancy of the space. The visible light sensor may be configured to protect the privacy of users within the space via software, a removable module, and/or a special sensor.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods may provide for technology to control the printing of halftoning screen signatures for various levels of prints. For example, such prints may include regular edition prints or limited edition prints. During printing, a first halftoning screen is associated with one or more of the regular edition prints and a second halftoning screen is associated with the limited edition print, in some implementations. The second halftoning screen has a spatial frequency that is substantially the same as the first halftoning screen while having a spatial signature different from the first halftoning screen. Additionally, the second halftoning screen further may have spectral properties that are substantially the same as the first halftoning screen. During printing, two different printed copies of an image are formed using the first halftoning screen and the second halftoning screen.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form an image on a sheet based on image data, a control unit configured to control driving of the image forming unit, and a power supply unit configured to, if a factor for shifting from a power saving state to a standby state is detected, supply power to the image forming unit and the control unit. If a first type of factor is detected as the factor in the power saving state, the power supply unit supplies power to the control unit and the image forming unit, and the control unit restricts the driving of the image forming unit. If an instruction to perform a function of forming an image on a sheet is accepted, the control unit cancels restriction of the driving of the image forming unit.

Abstract: In a case where a plurality of colors is included in the color image, the modification unit calculates a gray value difference indicating a difference between two adjacent gray values for a plurality of the gray values corresponding to the plurality of colors and arranged in order from the largest gray value, in a case where the calculated gray value difference is smaller than a threshold value, changes the corresponding gray value so that the gray value difference becomes the same value as the threshold value, and in a case where the calculated gray value difference is larger than the threshold value, changes the corresponding gray value so that the gray value difference becomes small in accordance with the magnitude of the gray value difference.

Abstract: An appliance and a system configured to execute a method for image processing is provided. The method includes acquiring, via an imaging device, an image and determining, from the image, an image identifier including a plurality of alphanumeric characters. The method compares the image identifier with each of a plurality of configuration identifiers stored at the memory device and determines which configuration identifier corresponds to the image identifier based on comparing a quantity of positions at the image identifier that are different from each configuration identifier.

Abstract: White-balance is improved when printing on colored media, while minimizing the time and use of costly materials required by present approaches. In an embodiment, the typical solid white fill or background layer is altered by including in the white layer one or more of the other colors already available in the printer to shade this layer. Thus, a small amount of cyan, for example, helps balance a pink-ish (red) media; yellow is used for blue media; and magenta is used for green media; as well as combinations thereof. A combination of transparent process inks and opaque white helps to maintain brightness (luminosity).
