Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a digital scanner for scanning images. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for accurately scanning documents and for processing digital data to provide digital images stored in memory, which can be retrieved for printing on support material or for displaying on a display screen. The present invention updates user settings based on the use of the digital scanner by an operator.
Claims17
A method of updating settings displayed on a user interface of an image processing device, the method comprising:
- detecting from a user interface image processing settings for each of a plurality of image processing jobs;
- storing a plurality of image processing settings;
- determining from the stored plurality of image processing settings the most frequent image processing settings;
- and
- setting as a default setting for the user interface the determined most frequent image processing settings.
A method of updating image processing settings in an image scanner, the method comprising:
- receiving a scan image command that includes image processing settings;
- storing the image processing settings;
- analyzing the stored image processing settings after receiving a predetermined number of scan image commands, to identify the most frequent image processing settings;
- and
- remapping default image processing settings for the scanner to the most frequent image processing settings.
A dynamic user interface for a digital scanner, the interface comprising:
- means for receiving a scan image command including image processing settings;
- means for storing a plurality of image processing settings;
- means for analyzing the stored image processing settings to detect trends in the numbers of particular ones of the stored image processing settings;
- and
- means for remapping default image processing settings in the user interface based on the numbers of particular ones of the stored image processing settings.
