Abstract
Provided is an image reading system that divides, with respect to image data obtained by performing a double sided reading in a state where a booklet is opened, cover sheet image data into two parts corresponding to a pair of cover sheets to arrange the two parts at a front and an end, respectively, and arranges main text image data between the front and the end, and then generates an image file from each of the arranged image data.
Claims12
An image reading system that includes an image reading apparatus, which is configured to perform a double sided reading by a reading portion including a first reading portion configured to read a first side of a document and a second reading portion configured to read a second side that is a side opposite to the first side of the document, and a reading control apparatus communicably connected to the image reading apparatus, the image reading system comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory storage portion storing, when the image reading apparatus performs the double sided reading in a state in which a booklet having a pair of cover sheets and a main text interposed between the pair of cover sheets is opened at least one time, image data of the booklet read by the reading portion, the storage portion also storing executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to instantiate;
- a cover sheet determination portion determining whether the image data, which is stored in the storage portion, is cover sheet image data obtained by reading the cover sheet;
- a main text determination portion determining image data of a back side of the cover sheet, which is a reading source of the cover sheet image data determined by the cover sheet determination portion among the image data stored in the storage portion, as main text image data;
- an arrangement processing portion rearranging the cover sheet image data and the main text image data at page order arrangement positions of the booklet;
- and
- a file generation portion generating an image file from the cover sheet image data and the main text image data rearranged by the arrangement processing portion, wherein
- the arrangement processing portion divides the cover sheet image data into two parts corresponding to the pair of cover sheets to arrange the two parts at a front and an end, respectively, and arranges the main text image data between the front and the end.
An image reading method of generating a file of a booklet from image data acquired by causing an image reading apparatus, which is configured to perform a double sided reading by a reading portion including a first reading portion configured to read a first side of a document and a second reading portion configured to read a second side that is a side opposite to the first side of the document, to read the booklet,
- when the image reading apparatus performs the double sided reading in a state in which a booklet having a pair of cover sheets and a main text interposed between the pair of cover sheets is opened at least one time, the image reading method comprising:
- (a) storing, by a computer, image data of the booklet read by the reading portion in the storage portion;
- (b) determining, by the computer, whether the image data, which is stored in the storage portion, is cover sheet image data obtained by reading the cover sheet;
- (c) determining, by the computer, image data of a back side of the cover sheet, which is a reading source of the cover sheet image data determined in (b) among the image data stored in the storage portion, as main text image data;
- (d) rearranging, by the computer, the cover sheet image data and the main text image data at page order arrangement positions of the booklet;
- and
- (e) generating, by the computer, an image file from the cover sheet image data and the main text image data which are rearranged, wherein in (d), the cover sheet image data is divided into two parts corresponding to the pair of cover sheets, the two parts are arranged at a front and an end, respectively, and the main text image data is arranged between the front and the end.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executed by a computer to perform processing of generating a file of a booklet from image data acquired by causing an image reading apparatus, which is configured to perform a double sided reading by a reading portion including a first reading portion configured to read a first side of a document and a second reading portion configured to read a second side that is a side opposite to the first side of the document, to read the booklet,
- when the image reading apparatus performs the double sided reading in a state in which a booklet having a pair of cover sheets and a main text interposed between the pair of cover sheets is opened at least one time, the executed program causing the computer to:
- (a) store image data of the booklet read by the reading portion in the storage portion;
- (b) determine whether the image data, which is stored in the storage portion, is cover sheet image data obtained by reading the cover sheet;
- (c) determine image data of a back side of the cover sheet, which is a reading source of the cover sheet image data determined in (b) among the image data stored in the storage portion, as main text image data;
- (d) rearrange the cover sheet image data and the main text image data at page order arrangement positions of the booklet;
- and
- (e) generate a file from the cover sheet image data and the main text image data which are rearranged, wherein
- in (d), the cover sheet image data is divided into two parts corresponding to the pair of cover sheets, the two parts are arranged at a front and an end, respectively, and the main text image data is arranged between the front and the end.
