Abstract
The image forming apparatus includes a display device, (a) generates a preview image corresponding to a target image to be printed, (b) generates an encoded image by encoding the preview image, and (c) displays the encoded image on the display device without displaying the preview image. The mobile terminal device (a) optically captures an encoded image displayed on the image forming device, (b) acquires a preview image by decoding the captured encoded image, and (c) displays the acquired preview image.
Claims9
An image forming system comprising:
- a mobile terminal device;
- and
- an image forming apparatus, wherein
- the image forming apparatus includes a display device, (a) generates a preview image corresponding to a target image to be printed, (b) generates an encoded image by encoding the preview image, and (c) displays the encoded image on the display device without displaying the preview image, and the mobile terminal device (a) optically captures the encoded image displayed on the image forming apparatus, (b) acquires the preview image by decoding the captured encoded image, and (c) displays the acquired preview image, and wherein
- the image forming apparatus, in accordance with a predetermined conversion rule, (b1) divides the preview image into a plurality of divided images, (b2) generates a plurality of encoded divided images by encoding each of the plurality of divided images, and (b3) generates the encoded image by arranging the plurality of encoded divided images, and the mobile terminal device, in accordance with the conversion rule, (b1) divides the captured encoded image into a plurality of encoded divided images, (b2) generates a plurality of divided images by decoding each of the plurality of encoded divided images obtained from the captured encoded image, and (b3) acquires the preview image by arranging the generated plurality of divided images.
