An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires a read image obtained by an image reading unit by reading at least a formation portion of a document to which a code image has been affixed, the code image being formed. The output unit outputs at least one of a recommended formation condition, which is a recommended condition used when the code image is formed on the document, and a recommended reading condition, which is a recommended condition used when the image reading unit reads the formation portion, on the basis of the read image acquired by the acquisition unit.

Methods and systems permit a user to decide what different responses are triggered when different visual stimuli are presented to the user's wireless communications device.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for configuring network devices that include native scanning or image-reading elements. Network configuration information is provided in a scannable image. A network device reads the scannable image and extracts configuration data from the image. The device then uses the extracted configuration data to configure the device to operate on a desired network.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor, and memory storing computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the apparatus to function as a storage destination specifying unit configured analyze original image data generated by optically reading a document, the document including a body area having information written therein, and also including a storage destination specifying area representing information for specifying a storage destination to store target image data representing a target including the body area, so as to specify the storage destination to store the target image data, and a target image data providing unit configured to provide the target image data to the specified storage destination.

A handheld imaging device includes an image sensor for sensing an image; a processor for processing the sensed image; a plurality of processing units provided in the processor, the plurality of processing units connected in parallel by a crossbar switch to form a multi-core processing unit for the processor; and an image sensor interface for converting signals from the image sensor to a format readable by the plurality of processing units, the image sensor interface sharing a wafer substrate with the processor. A transfer of data from the image sensor interface to the plurality of processing units is conducted entirely on the shared wafer substrate.

A handheld imaging device includes an image sensor for sensing an image: a Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor for processing the sensed image; a plurality of processing units provided in the VLIW processor, the plurality of processing units connected in parallel by a crossbar switch to form a multi-core processing unit for the VLIW processor; and an image sensor interface for receiving signals from the image sensor and converting the signals to a format readable by the VLIW processor, the image sensor interface sharing a wafer substrate with the VLIW processor. A transfer of data from the image sensor interface to the VLIW processor is conducted entirely on the shared wafer substrate.

A portable handheld device including a CPU for processing a script; a multi-core processor for processing an image; an input buffer for receiving data for processing by the multi-core processor, the input buffer being provided under the control of the multi-core processor to send data thereto; and an output buffer for receiving data processed by the multi-core processor, the output buffer being provided under the control of the multi-core processor to receive data therefrom. The multi-core processor comprises a plurality of micro-coded processing units. The CPU is configured with authority to clear and query the input and output buffers.

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions executable by an information processing server communicable with a device capable of executing a print processing and a scan processing. A delivery address and a second surface image are to be printed on first and second surfaces of a delivery object. First feature information indicates a feature of the second surface image. The information processing server reads delivery address information and the first feature information associated with each other, when scan information is newly received. The information processing server extracts sample image information when the read delivery address information is the same as the delivery address information contained in the newly-received scan information. The sample image information is for displaying a sample image corresponding to the second surface image having a feature indicated by the first feature information associated with the read delivery address information.

An information processing apparatus is provided and enables a user to selectively apply setting data the user desires to be applied to target equipment. Information on various setting values is obtained from a scanned image of a sheet on which information on various setting values applicable to the information processing apparatus is printed. Then, based on the obtained information, a setting value designated by a user among the various setting values is applied to the information processing apparatus.
