An image processor is described. The image processor includes an I/O unit to read input image data from external memory for processing by the image processor and to write output image data from the image processor into the external memory. The I/O unit includes multiple logical channel units. Each logical channel unit is to form a logical channel between the external memory and a respective producing or consuming component within the image processor. Each logical channel unit is designed to utilize reformatting circuitry and addressing circuitry. The addressing circuitry is to control addressing schemes applied to the external memory and reformatting of image data between external memory and the respective producing or consuming component. The reformatting circuitry is to perform the reformatting.

What is disclosed is a system and method for increasing throughput in the image processing path of a digital document reproduction device. A digital image to be processed is received. Memory is allocated into two buffers, B.sub.[0] and B.sub.[1]. Each buffer has size

[00001]$S_B\le \frac{M}{2},$

where M is a size of the allocation. The digital image is divided into N number of tiles. Then, for tiles T.sub.i, where i=1 to N: (A) the image data of tile T.sub.i is decompressed into buffer B.sub.[((i% 2)=0], and (B) the image data of buffer B.sub.[(i% 2)≠0] is decompressed into the image path pipeline. Send a signal indicating that processing of the digital image has completed.

A system and method for recording video that combines video capture, touch-screen and voice-control technologies into an integrated system that produces cleanly edited, short-duration, compliant video files that exactly capture a moment after it has actually occurred The present invention maintains the device in a ready state that is always ready to capture video up to N seconds or minutes in the past (where N depends on available system memory). This enables the user to run the system indefinitely without having to worry about running out of storage. Touch gestures and voice commands actually initiate captures without having to actually monitor the system itself thereby allowing for complete focus on the live action itself. When the user sees something happen, he or she can use an appropriate voice or touch command to cause the system to create a video media file based on time points derived from the user's commands.

In a control method for a processing apparatus connected to an image reading apparatus, in a case where the processing apparatus receives a cancellation instruction while the image reading apparatus performs a reading step, the processing apparatus causes the image reading apparatus to terminate the reading step and deletes image data of a page being read, and in a case where the processing apparatus receives a cancellation instruction after the image reading apparatus has performed the reading step, the processing apparatus performs controlling processing for deleting image data that has been acquired in the last reading step and has yet to be stored.

Electronic equipment is provided where a user can use easily data stored in plurality of electronic equipments while simplifying a system configuration and processing. Electronic equipment is provided having a document box as a document data storage area and connected to a network, the electronic equipment including a capacity inquiring part inquiring about an empty capacity of a document box of the other image forming devices connected via the network based on a document data storage request from a user, an external storage processing part transmitting document data corresponding to the storage request to the other image forming devices for storage when an empty capacity exists, and a data management part managing data stored in the document box of the other image forming devices as data stored in the document box of the own image forming device accessible from the user.

An image forming apparatus for processing print data is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a control unit configured to control a plurality of nonvolatile storage devices having different transfer rates, and a determination unit configured to determine a nonvolatile storage device to store print data from among the plurality of nonvolatile storage devices based on information related to a size of the print data, information related to the transfer rates of the plurality of nonvolatile storage devices, and a threshold value depending on the number of sheets to be printed and output per unit time. The control unit and the determination unit are implemented by one or more processor.

An image processing apparatus capable of reducing time and labor of a user required to set information on a transfer destination. The image processing apparatus communicates with a server which provides a transfer service. An original on which a transfer destination is written is read to generate image data of the original. Optical character recognition is performed on the image data to extract a number having a predetermined number of digits. The number and position information of the number in the image data are stored. Information on the transfer destination, included in the image data, is acquired based on the number and the position information of the number. Control is performed to transmit a transfer instruction notification including the information on the transfer destination to the server.

An information processing device includes a processor configured to: transmit, to a user, first information for acquiring image data using a specific communication interface usable by the user, the image data being generated from reading performed by an image reading device; and transmit, to the user, second information for acquire the image data using another communication interface usable by the user if the specific communication interface usable by the user is changed.

A user inputs a speech including a keyword via a speech input device; a first processor searches a job history by the keyword, the job history being stored on a storage, the job history including a job record, the job record including a set of values having ever been used for a job executed by an image processing apparatus. A job record specifying device includes a second processor that conducts an analysis on different values in multiple job records; selects a speech with reference to the different values; transfers the speech to a speech generator; and finds a specific job record from the multiple job records using a keyword extracted from a speech inputted via the speech input device in response to the speech outputted by the speech generator. The image processing apparatus reflects a target set of values in the specific job record, to the setting of a job.

An apparatus comprises an image processing circuit capable of applying development processing to RAW data obtained by a sensor. The apparatus has a non-development mode and a development mode as operation modes, the non-development mode being a mode in which the apparatus records the RAW data into a storage device without applying the development processing to the RAW data, and the development mode being a mode in which the apparatus applies the development processing to a plurality of the RAW data recorded into the storage device during when the apparatus operated in the non-development mode. The apparatus operates in the non-development mode or the development mode in accordance with a setting.
