Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: estimate, for image information to undergo image processing, a first time in performing the image processing on the image information in accordance with a current setting for the image processing; and present, to a user, the first time, a candidate setting changeable from the current setting, and a second time in performing the image processing on the image information in accordance with the candidate setting.
Claims21
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- estimate, a first time in performing an image processing on an image information in accordance with a current setting for the image processing, the estimated first time includes a start time and a first end time of performing the image processing in accordance with the current setting;
- present, to a user, the first time, a candidate setting changeable from the current setting, and a second time in performing the image processing on the image information in accordance with the candidate setting;
- receive a user-entered candidate setting;
- estimate the second time for completing the image processing using the user-entered candidate setting, wherein the second time includes a second end time that is based on the start time of the estimated first time;
- update a display content for the estimated second time;
- determine a reading completion;
- in response to the determined reading completion:
- update the display content of the estimated second time, and
- perform image processing of scan and transmission to a destination of a scan job;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- start reading of a document in response to receiving of an instruction to start document reading, wherein the time when the document reading is started corresponds to the start time of the image processing, and the started document reading acquires the image information to undergo the image processing.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:
- estimating, a first time in performing an image processing on an image information in accordance with a current setting for the image processing, the estimated first time includes a start time and a first end time of performing the image processing in accordance with the current setting;
- presenting, to a user, the first time, a candidate setting changeable from the current setting, and a second time in performing the image processing on the image information in accordance with the candidate setting;
- receiving a user-entered candidate setting;
- estimating the second time for completing the image processing using the user-entered candidate setting, wherein the second time includes a second end time that is based on the start time of the estimated first time;
- updating a display content for the estimated second time;
- determining a reading completion;
- in response to the determined reading completion:
- updating the display content of the estimated second time, and
- performing image processing of scan and transmission to a destination of a scan job;
- and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- start reading of a document in response to receiving of an instruction to start document reading, wherein the time when the document reading is started corresponds to the start time of the image processing, and the started document reading acquires the image information to undergo the image processing.
