Reading apparatus, control method for reading apparatus, control apparatus, and program

A control method for a reading apparatus including a storage configured to store data in the storage, and a reader configured to optically read a medium, the control method comprising:

• in response to the reading of the medium by the reader, acquiring a set of read data based on a result of the reading;
• based on the acquired set of read data, generating a plurality of image files in such a way as to cause a file size of each of the plurality of image files to be smaller than a size upper limit;
• causing the storage to store the generated plurality of image files in a state in which the plurality of image files are associated with one another;
• setting a line upper limit number representing a number of line image data that can be acquired into an image buffer as the result of the reading such that the file size of an image file acquired from the number of line image data is not beyond the size upper limit;
• storing, when the number of line image data acquired into the image buffer reaches the line upper limit number, the image file acquired from the number of line image data in the storage;
• based on the reading of the medium by the reading apparatus, generating a set of thumbnail image data in which a thumbnail image corresponding to an image recorded on the medium is recorded;
• causing the storage to store the generated set of thumbnail image data in a state in which the set of thumbnail image data is associated with the generated image file;
• and
• generating a combined thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail image data, the combined thumbnail image including at least one image representing at least one boundary of the plurality of image files.

A control apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• acquire, based on a result of reading by a reading apparatus that optically reads a medium, a set of drawing data based on a plurality of image files generated by a division that causes a file size of each of the plurality of image files to be smaller than a size upper limit;
• combine images recorded in the respective plurality of image files based on the acquired set of drawing data;
• display the combined images on the display;
• set a line upper limit number representing a number of line image data that can be acquired into an image buffer as the result of the reading such that the file size of an image file acquired from the number of line image data is not beyond the size upper limit;
• store, when the number of line image data acquired into the image buffer reaches the line upper limit number, the image file acquired from the number of line image data in a storage;
• based on the reading of the medium by the reading apparatus, generate a set of thumbnail image data in which a thumbnail image corresponding to an image recorded on the medium is recorded;
• cause the storage to store the generated set of thumbnail image data in a state in which the set of thumbnail image data is associated with the generated image file;
• and
• generate a combined thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail image data, the combined thumbnail image including at least one image representing at least one boundary of the plurality of image files.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium for storing a program which, when executed by a processor of a reading apparatus including a reader, causes the processor to execute processing comprising:

• in response to reading of a medium by the reader, acquiring a set of read data based on a result of the reading;
• based on the acquired set of read data, generating a plurality of image files resulting from a division that causes a file size of each of the plurality of image files to be smaller than a size upper limit;
• setting a line upper limit number representing a number of line image data that can be acquired into an image buffer as the result of the reading such that the file size of an image file acquired from the number of line image data is not beyond the size upper limit;
• storing, when the number of line image data acquired into the image buffer reaches the line upper limit number, the image file acquired from the number of line image data in a storage;
• based on the reading of the medium by the reader, generating a set of thumbnail image data in which a thumbnail image corresponding to an image recorded on the medium is recorded:
• causing the storage to store the generated set of thumbnail image data in a state in which the set of thumbnail image data is associated with the generated image file;
• and
• generating a combined thumbnail image of the set of thumbnail image data, the combined thumbnail image including at least one image representing at least one boundary of the plurality of image files.
