A document reading device includes an imaging unit that images a document, a placing portion that includes a first placing portion and a second placing portion and that has a placing surface on which the document is placed, the placing surface being formed by the first placing portion and the second placing portion, and a detector that detects an edge of the document that is placed on the placing surface by using a color difference or a luminance difference between the placing surface and the document. An end portion of the first placing portion adjacent to the second placing portion extends toward the second placing portion beyond an end portion of the second placing portion adjacent to the first placing portion.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading member that reads an image of a document that is transported, a discharge portion onto which the document that is read by the reading member is discharged, a placement portion that is installed above the discharge portion, an object being placed on the placement portion such that at least a part of an upper surface of the reading member is covered, and an image capturing member that is installed above the placement portion and that captures an image of the object that is placed on the placement portion.

An image processing apparatus includes a medium discharge portion onto which a medium to be taken out by a person with the person standing is discharged, a placement portion that is installed above the medium discharge portion, an object in color that is represented by using a Y-value closer than a value that represents black color to a value that represents white color where the color is represented by using a Y-value that represents luminance in a YCbCr method being placed on the placement portion, an image capturing member that is installed above the placement portion and that captures an image of the object that is placed on the placement portion. Color of an upper portion of the placement portion is represented by using a Y-value closer than the value that represents the white color to the value that represents the black color where the color is represented by using the Y-value that represents the luminance in the YCbCr method such that the object and the placement portion are distinguishable from each other in the image that is captured by the image capturing member.

Provided is a printing device that can accurately perform printing on a recording medium. The printing device includes: a frame member disposed to surround a nail tip; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the nail tip surrounded by the frame member; a communication part configured to acquire print information which is generated based on an image obtained by capturing the frame member and the nail tip and indicates a layout of printing to be applied to the nail tip in a printable region defined by the frame member; and a print control part configured to control the printing unit based on the acquired print information.

Provided for is a film conversion apparatus comprising a body and a first reel shaft having a first proximal end and a first distal end. A first reel may be disposed on the first distal end. The apparatus may include a second reel shaft having a second proximal end and a second distal end, where the first proximal end and the second proximal end are movably attached to the body. A second reel may be disposed on the second distal end. The apparatus may further include a camera configured to capture a plurality of frames and a computer configured to convert the plurality of frames to a digital format.

An information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium and for processing information are provided. The information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive image data; cause a display to display the received image data; and move, in response to a user instruction, a portion of the image data from a first place to a second place on the display. The portion of the image data is a partial region of an entire region of the image data. While the portion of the image data is being moved from the first place to the second place, the portion of the image data is displayed at the first place.

An information processing apparatus includes: circuitry that detects information relating to a user of the information processing apparatus, determines whether the user is a visually impaired person based on the information relating to the user, and based on a determination indicating that the user is the visually impaired person, enable a voice reading operation function for the visually impaired person.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program readable by a computer of a portable device comprising a memory storing a plurality of external programs activated by the computer program and being connectable to an image forming device that executes a formation operation, the computer program causes the portable device to perform: obtaining type information indicating each type of the plurality of external programs; determining whether the corresponding external program is a first type or a second type; pre-processing of activating the external program determined as the first type and obtaining a parameter indicating a condition of generating the image data designated by a user; instructing the image forming device to execute the formation operation; and post-processing of activating the external program determined as the second type with designating the image data formed in the formation operation.

An image acquiring device comprises: an automatic document feeder comprising: an input tray supporting an information medium; and a control panel comprising an operation button for selecting one image acquiring side of the information medium; an image acquiring assembly acquiring the image of the image acquiring side; a processor electrically connected to the automatic document feeder, the image acquiring assembly and the operation button; a storage, which is electrically connected to the processor and comprises an image module storing program codes for enabling acquiring the image of the image acquiring side; and an output unit receiving and outputting the image of the image acquiring side. The processor controls the image acquiring assembly to acquire the image of the image acquiring side according to the program codes and different signals of the operation button and transmits the image to the output unit. Associated copying method and system are also provided.

An information processing apparatus includes: an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject; an image extraction unit configured to extract an image of a predetermined shape from a captured image being the image of the subject captured and output by the imaging unit; and a registration unit configured to, upon the image extraction unit extracting a first image identifying input data and a second image identifying a storage area, store the input data identified by the first image in the storage area identified by the second image.
