METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE FLEXIBLE MERGING OF LOGICAL CELLS AND PRINTING

Methods and systems for the imposition of a print job. A grid composed of a 2D matrix of a group of logical cells can be graphically displayed in a graphical user interface. Each logical cell can be defined by a contiguous rectangular region made up cells of equal sized cells and wherein the grid directs the imposition of a print job. Graphical elements are also displayed in the graphical user interface, which when selected by a user allows for the merging of the logical cells across rows and columns of the grid for the imposition of the print job.

To provide an image forming device (20) able to perform an appropriate preview. A MFP (20) that generates an output image (27a) for at least one of transmission and printing (S102) and executes an output using an output image (27a) generated in S102. The MFP (20) generates a preview image (27b) for preview of the output image (27a), stores the preview image (27b) generated in S104 in a storage medium (30) outside of the MFP (20), and performs a preview using the preview image (27b) stored in the storage medium (30) in S109 (S111).

SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND METHOD FOR SUPERIMPOSING IMAGES CAPTURED IN A PHOTO BOOTH ONTO A SELECTED BACKGROUND
20180084204 · 2018-03-22 ·

Described is a system for superimposing images captured in a photo booth onto a selected background that can he used for panics and other events and that includes everything needed to instantaneously provide blue or green screen effects to event participants. The system includes one or more processors and a memory. The memory is a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions encoded thereon, such that upon execution of the instructions, the one or more processors cause a tablet computer to obtain an image of a participant in front of a chroma-key panel and superimpose the image over a background that is stored in the tablet computer.

Cropping image within image preview

A cropping electronic display image is provided in response to selection of an image crop menu option. The cropping electronic display image includes a geometric shape superimposed on the input image. Operation of the user input component changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape within the cropping electronic display image is detected to identify a selected cropped image area. Portions of the input image outside the selected cropped image area are removed to produce a cropped image, in response to completing the process of changing position of at least one side of the geometric shape. The cropped image and the cropped image area are enlarged to fit within the cropping electronic display image.

Proactive creation of personalized products

A method for proactively creating an image product includes capturing an image of an object in a first environment by a device, storing a library of personalized products each characterized by a product type, automatically recognizing the object in the image as having a product type associated with the library of personalized products, automatically creating a design for the personalized product of the product type using personalized content, automatically displaying the design of the personalized product of the product type incorporating the selected photo in the first environment on the device, and manufacturing a physical product based on the design of the personalized product.

A document camera device includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: performing control so as to display, in cutout processing that cuts out and saves, from an image imaging a subject, an image corresponding to an inside of a region designated for the subject, an image specifying a region associated with identification information of a subject targeted by the current cutout processing on the subject targeted by the current cutout processing, based on history information associated with identification information of the subject and with the region in cutout processing that was executed in the past; and performing processing that, when a region specified by an image specifying the region has been selected, sets an image cut out and saved from inside the selected region as an image that has been cut out by the current cutout processing.

DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A display apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes an image processor, a display and a controller. The image processor processes an input image to generate an output image. The display displays the generated output image. The controller is configured to control the image processor to generate an output image of an region corresponding to the moved viewpoint, in response to a viewpoint being moved with respect to an input image generated for a predetermined bearing to enable the viewpoint to be moved, and to provide an image effect based on or corresponding to a speed at which the viewpoint is moved while the viewpoint is moved. With this, a dizziness and a sense of difference, which may break out when the viewpoint is moved in a speed a user does not intend, are improved and a new experiences is provided for a user.
