Abstract
The book page turning operation of an automatic page turning apparatus is controlled by a tablet. Every time the automatic page turning apparatus completes a page turning operation, the tablet photographs the page and stores its image. During this processing, the tablet stops the series of page turning operations of the automatic page turning apparatus every time a sequential page-turning count m reaches a preset interruption page count M. Then, the tablet restarts the series of page turning operations in response to a photographing restart instruction from the user. As a result of this configuration, the user is freed from an operation of stopping a page turning operation during image photographing.
Claims17
An apparatus for controlling page turning, comprising:
- an interruption section which repeatedly interrupts a page turning operation of a page turning apparatus, which mechanically turns a page serving as an imaging target, at predetermined equal interruption intervals, wherein the predetermined interruption intervals are predetermined such that a plurality of pages are turned between interruptions of the page turning operation;
- and
- a restarting section which, every time the page turning operation of the page turning apparatus is interrupted, restarts the page turning operation in response to a restart instruction by a user.
A method for controlling page turning, comprising:
- repeatedly interrupting a page turning operation of a page turning apparatus, which mechanically turns a page serving as an imaging target, at predetermined equal interruption intervals, wherein the predetermined interruption intervals are predetermined such that a plurality of pages are turned between interruptions of the page turning operation;
- and
- every time the page turning operation of the page turning apparatus is interrupted, restarting the page turning operation in response to a restart instruction by a user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that is executable by a computer to actualize functions comprising:
- repeatedly interrupting a page turning operation of a page turning apparatus, which mechanically turns a page serving as an imaging target, at predetermined equal interruption intervals, wherein the predetermined interruption intervals are predetermined such that a plurality of pages are turned between interruptions of the page turning operation;
- and
- every time the page turning operation of the page turning apparatus is interrupted, restarting the page turning operation in response to a restart instruction by a user.
An apparatus for controlling page turning, comprising:
- a setting section which prompts a user to set a page count as interruption information;
- a derivation section which derives an interruption interval of a series of page turning operations of a page turning apparatus, which mechanically turns a page serving as an imaging target, based on the page count set by the user;
- an interruption section which interrupts the series of page turning operations of the page turning apparatus, at equal interruption intervals to the interruption interval derived by the derivation section;
- a restarting section which, every time the series of page turning operations of the page turning apparatus are interrupted, restarts the series of page turning operations in response to a restart instruction by the user;
- and
- a display section which displays the page count and the interruption interval derived by the derivation section.
An apparatus for controlling page turning, comprising:
- a first interruption section which repeatedly interrupts a series of page turning operations of a page turning apparatus, which mechanically turns a page serving as an imaging target, at a predetermined equal interruption intervals;
- a second interruption section which interrupts the series of page turning operations of the page turning apparatus, in response to an interruption instruction given by a user, regardless of the interruption intervals;
- and
- a restarting section which restarts the series of page turning operations of the page turning apparatus interrupted by the first interruption section or the second interruption section in response to a restart instruction by the user.
