Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an image input unit, a tint block reading unit, a display unit, and a transmission unit. The image input unit scans a sheet on which information of a destination is formed in the form of a tint block. The tint block reading unit reads the information of the destination from the tint block image in the scanned image. The display unit displays the information of the destination that is read. The transmission unit transmits the image formed on the sheet to the destination when a transmission instruction is given from an operator who checks the information of the destination.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image input unit which scans a sheet on which information of a destination is formed in the form of a tint block, and converts a scanned image to an electronic image;
- a tint block reading unit which reads the information of the destination from the tint block image in the electronic image converted by the image input unit;
- a display unit which displays the information of the destination read by the tint block reading unit;
- and
- a transmission unit which transmits the image formed on the sheet to the destination when a transmission instruction is given from an operator who checks the information of the destination displayed on the display unit.
A data transmission system comprising at least one image processing apparatus and at least one computer,
- the computer comprising:
- a tint block information attaching unit which attaches information of a destination in the form of a tint block to image data of a transmission target,
- the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image forming unit which forms the image data with the tint block attached, on a sheet;
- an image input unit which scans the sheet and converts a scanned image to an electronic image;
- a tint block reading unit which reads the information of the destination from the tint block image in the electronic image converted by the image input unit;
- a display unit which displays the information of the destination read by the tint block reading unit;
- and
- a transmission unit which transmits the image formed on the sheet to the destination when a transmission instruction is given from an operator who checks the information of the destination displayed on the display unit.
An image processing method comprising:
- an image processing apparatus
- scanning a sheet on which information of a destination is formed in the form of a tint block, and converting a scanned image to an electronic image;
- reading the information of the destination from the tint block image in the electronic image;
- displaying the information of the destination that is read;
- and
- transmitting the image formed on the sheet to the destination when a transmission instruction is given from an operator who checks the information of the destination that is displayed.
