A system of automatically naming an electronic document may include a scanning device. The system may receive a physical document that is to be converted into an electronic document, perform optical character recognition on at least a portion of the physical document to identify one or more terms that are present in the physical document, and store the identified terms in the data store associated with the scanning device. The system may receive input from a user that includes one or more first characters and corresponds to a title of the electronic document. The system may identify one or more terms from the data store that correspond to the one or more first characters by querying the data store using the received input, and cause the identified terms to be displayed to the user via a display device of the scanning device as suggested document names for the electronic document.

It is possible to read a document at an optimal speed according to an operation mode selected by a user while improving productivity at a low cost, without forcing the user to perform a complicated operation for changing a document reading speed. A method for controlling a reading unit to read a document with a first reading resolution in a case where a reading resolution is the first reading resolution, to read a document with a second reading resolution in a case where the reading resolution is the second reading resolution smaller than the first reading resolution and a predetermined mode is not set, and to read a document with the first reading resolution in a case where the reading resolution is the second reading resolution smaller than the first reading resolution and the predetermined mode is set.

In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing apparatus comprises an image data acquiring section configured to acquire image data of an image; a partial image acquiring section configured to acquire a plurality of partial images from each of a plurality of areas contained within the image on a basis of the image data acquired by the image data acquiring section; and a layout determination section configured to determine a layout by arranging a plurality of the partial images acquired by the partial image acquiring section.

A method of scanning a document includes obtaining an original image by scanning a document; detecting at least one pair of marks disposed on the original image; extracting an image of an area that is defined by the detected at least one pair of marks from the original image; and creating a new document file by using the extracted image.

An image processing apparatus comprises an input interface, a light source unit, a reading unit and a control unit. The input interface receives an input reading condition. The light source unit comprises a plurality of light sources which emit lights of different wavelengths. The reading unit reads an image on a sheet irradiated by the light of the light source unit. The control unit separately controls the quantity of the light emitted from each light source according to the reading condition input from the input interface.

An image reading apparatus comprising: an original reading unit configured to read an image of each of multiple originals placed on an original table in batch by a batch-scan; a cropping unit configured to crop an image of each original from an entire image which is read by the batch-scan; an image output unit configured to output a cropped image of each original; and a control unit configured to control the original reading unit, the cropping unit, and the image output unit, wherein the control unit is capable of selectively executing: an inversion multi-crop process in which an image density of an edge of each original is supposed to be higher than an image density of a reading-area outside of the original, and an area to be cropped is determined on the basis of a difference in the image density between the edge and the reading-area outside of the original; and a non-inversion multi-crop process in which an image density of an edge of each original is supposed to be lower than an image density of a reading-area outside of the original, and an area to be cropped is determined on the basis of a difference in the image density between the edge and the reading-area outside of the original.

An image forming apparatus to function as an input unit configured to input image data, a printing unit configured to print an image based on the image data input by the input unit, a control unit configured to perform control to, if the image forming apparatus operates in a first mode, print by the printing unit an image generated from the image data input by the input unit, and if the image forming apparatus operates in a second mode, print by the printing unit an image obtained by adding a predetermined pattern image to the image generated from the image data input by the input unit, and an accepting unit configured to, if the image forming apparatus operates in the second mode, accept selection regarding whether to perform printing in the second mode in response to operation performed to start printing the image.

A control apparatus for controlling a scanner has a control unit configured to execute display control to display a reading parameter used for reading a document image by the scanner on a display unit in a case where a file of the document image is to be generated on a first condition and display both a generation parameter used for generating the file and the reading parameter on the display unit in a case where the file is to be generated on a second condition being different from the first condition.

A non-transitory storage medium stores a program set readable by a computer of a first information processing apparatus. The program set including a first program and a second program. The first program causes the first information processing apparatus to start the second program, and register the started second program, as a virtual scanner, in an operating system of the first information processing apparatus. The second program causes the first information processing apparatus to transmit a scan command of the first protocol to the external scanner, and receive a read result from the external scanner by the first protocol through the communication interface. The external scanner reads a document in response to receipt of the scan command transmitted from the information processing apparatus.

An information processing system includes one or more processors configured to: notify a terminal, in a case where a document to be subjected to reading processing by an image processing apparatus remotely connected to the terminal is set in the image processing apparatus, that the document has been set and a user who has set the document is not identified; and notify the terminal, in a case where the document is set in the image processing apparatus when the image processing apparatus acquires identification information for identifying the user, of the identification information.
