According to one embodiment, a decoloring device includes a reading unit, a decoloring unit, and a control unit. The reading unit is configured to read control information from a first image formed in a predetermined area of a sheet. The decoloring unit is configured to decolor a portion or entirety of a second image, different from the first image, formed on the sheet using a decolorable recording material. The control unit is configured to control erasing of the data of the second image from a storage device, based on the control information, in a case where the decoloring unit decolors the second image.

Example Implementations relate to scanning with destination marks. For example, a system according to the present disclosure, may include a computing network including a plurality of destination points, and a scanning device coupled to the computing network. The scanning device may receive a first destination mark and first document settings associated with the first destination mark, as well as first destination instructions associated with the first destination mark. The scanning device may send a first scanned document having the first document settings to a first destination point among the plurality of destination points, in accordance with the first destination instructions and in response to identification of the first destination mark on the first scanned document.

An electronic device includes an image reading section, a marker detection section, and a processing section. The marker detection section analyzes image data and detects a first marker portion indicated in the image data and a second marker portion indicated in the image data in a mode different from a mode of the first marker, and also extracts texts indicated in the first marker portion and the second marker portion. The processing section performs processing of transmitting the image data where the text indicated in the first marker portion is defined as a file name of the image data and the text indicated in the second marker portion is defined as a transmission address to which the image data is transmitted.

An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an acquiring unit, a color information extracting unit, a storage unit, an image extracting unit, and an image generating unit. The reading unit reads an image on a sheet. The acquiring unit acquires image data from the image read by the reading unit. The color information extracting unit extracts color information from the image data. The storage unit stores specific color information. The image extracting unit extracts second image data surrounded by a line with the specific color information in first image data that the acquiring unit acquires from an image on a first sheet which is read by the reading unit. The image generating unit generates third image data based on the second image data.

An image forming apparatus is provided with a storage portion that stores a plurality of pieces of schedule information, an image reading portion that generates image data of an original document including a plurality of description fields, a printing portion, and a control portion that recognizes a plurality of description field regions corresponding to the plurality of description fields, respectively, recognizes in-field information that is included in each of the plurality of description field regions in association with a date borne by a corresponding one of the plurality of description fields, extracts one of the plurality of pieces of schedule information and a piece of the in-field information which correspond to a common date as first subject information and second subject information, respectively, and performs control so that an update information image is printed.

An image capturing method and an image capturing device using the same are provided. The image capturing method includes the following steps. Firstly, the image capturing device receives a paper sheet having a plurality of regions. Then, the image capturing device provides a user interface. Then, in response to an operation of a user to the user interface, an arrangement regulation of the regions is set. Then, the image capturing device captures a plurality of region images of the regions of the paper sheet. Then, the image capturing device arranges the region images according to the arrangement regulation.

An image processing apparatus includes a data input unit, an operation panel, a storage unit, and a control unit. The operation panel accepts a registration of a margin image and a setting of an emphasis region within the margin image. The storage unit stores data for emphasis including a registered margin image and positional data. The registered margin image is the margin image that has been registered, and the positional data indicates a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image. When the control unit determines that the registered margin image is included in the page image data, the control unit performs an emphasis process on an image of a corresponding region whose position at the registered margin image included in the page image data is identical to a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image included in the stored data for emphasis.
