Abstract
An image processing apparatus is disclosed that controls a user interface according to image properties. The image processing apparatus includes a document data acquiring unit to acquire document data, an image recognizing unit to determine the image properties of the document data including a color and a gray level of the document data so as to generate recognition data, and a user interface providing unit to receive the recognition data so as to provide the user interface. Operations that can be performed on the document data by the image processing apparatus through the user interface vary according to the recognition data.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus that controls a user interface according to image properties, comprising:
- a document data acquiring unit to acquire document data;
- an image recognizing unit to determine the image properties of the document data including a color and a gray level of the document data so as to generate recognition data;
- and
- a user interface providing unit to receive the recognition data so as to provide the user interface, wherein operations that can be performed on the document data by the image processing apparatus through the user interface vary according to the recognition data.
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus that controls a user interface according to image properties, the method causing the image processing apparatus to execute:
- a step of acquiring document data;
- a step of generating recognition data by determining image properties of the document data including a color and a gray level of the document data;
- and
- a step of providing the user interface, wherein operations that can be performed on the document data by the image processing apparatus through the user interface vary according to the recognition data.
An image recognition method of recognizing image properties of acquired document data, the method causing an image processing apparatus to execute:
- a step of acquiring document data;
- a step of acquiring gray level data and two-dimensional dispersion of pixels contained in the document data;
- a step of determining whether the document data contain only one or more binary images;
- and
- a step of determining whether CMY data are contained in the document data if the document data are determined to contain only one or more binary images.
An information processing apparatus for processing document data, comprising:
- a CPU;
- a first storage unit;
- an image recognizing unit to read out document data and determine image properties of the read-out document data including a color and a gray level of the document data so as to generate recognition data;
- a user interface providing unit to receive the recognition data so as to provide a user interface, wherein operations that can be performed on the document data through the user interface vary according to the recognition data;
- and
- a second storage unit to store a data structure in which the document data and the recognition data are associated with each other.
An image forming apparatus for processing document data, comprising:
- a CPU;
- a first storage unit;
- an image recognizing unit to read out document data in response to an external input and determine image properties of the read-out document data including a color and a gray level of the document data so as to generate recognition data;
- a user interface providing unit to receive the recognition data so as to provide a user interface, wherein operations that can be performed on the document data through the user interface vary according to the recognition data;
- and
- a second storage unit to store a data structure in which user data corresponding to the external input, the document data, and the recognition data are associated with each other.
A data processing method of processing document data, the method causing an information processing apparatus including a CPU and a storage unit to execute:
- a step of reading out document data and determining image properties of the read-out document data including a color and a gray level of the document data so as to generate recognition data;
- a step of receiving the recognition data so as to provide a user interface, wherein operations that can be performed on the document data through the user interface vary according to the recognition data;
- and
- a step of generating and storing a data structure in which the document data and the recognition data are associated with each other.
