METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGING OF MOVING PRINTED MATERIALS
A system for capturing images during production of printed material includes an optical device comprising a plurality of cameras arranged in an array with adjacent pairs of cameras having overlapping fields of view. An imaging controller device determines a layout of content on printed material, and determines, based on the layout, an optical system configuration profile. Determining the optical system configuration profile includes selecting one or more cameras for capturing images of regions of interest on the printed material and determining a trigger interval for triggering the selected one or more cameras. The imaging controller device triggers the selected cameras at times determined based on the trigger interval to capture images of the regions of interest on the printed material as the printed material moves in fields of view of the one or more cameras during production of the printed material.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROTECTING SCANNED DOCUMENTS
The disclosure discloses methods and systems for securing documents submitted for scanning at a device such as a multi-function device. The method includes scanning a document received from a user. A user interface is provided to the user to define a document type and to further define an access level for accessing the scanned document. Then, scanned data is generated. The scanned data is encoded based on a unique identity of the device and based on the access level such that the scanned data is accessible by the user and/or by one or more other users according to the defined access level. Finally, the scanned document is generated. Later when the scanned document is accessed by any user, details of the user accessing the scanned document is matched with details added in the encoded scanned data. Based on matching, the user is allowed to access the scanned document.
Integrated physical warehouse and digital document management system
A document management facility may process volumes of physical documents for digital imaging. The document management facility may utilize robotic apparatus to perform the various functions for processing the documents, which may include document intake, document storage, document digitization, and/or document removal. Digital versions of the documents may be accessed with a document management system.

Reading device conveying and reading original document including a plurality of original sheets set in stacked state and detecting occurrence of a double-feed of double-fed sheets
In a reading device, a controller performs: detecting occurrence of a double-feed; executing a double-feed process; detecting a state of double-fed sheets; executing a first process when a command is inputted; and executing a second process when the command is not inputted. The double feed process includes: halting conveyance of an original document; and making notification of the occurrence of the double-feed. The first process performs, in accordance with the command, one of: resuming the conveyance of the original document; and quitting the conveyance of the original document. The second process performs, in accordance with a determination result, one of: resuming the conveyance of the original document; and continuing the halting and the making. The resuming is performed when the determination result indicates that the conveyance of the original document is possible. The continuing is performed when the determination result indicates that the conveyance of the original document is impossible.
SHEET DETECTING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND SIGNAL ADJUSTING METHOD
A sheet detecting apparatus includes: a light emitting unit that emits light emitted toward a detection position; a light receiving unit that is provided to receive the light reflected by a sheet present at the detection position and that outputs an electric signal which corresponds to a received light amount; and an adjustment processing unit that adjusts, within a specified range, a duty ratio of a drive pulse signal used to drive the light emitting unit, so that a detection value of the electric signal output from the light receiving unit is included in a specified standard range; and a decision processing unit that decides the specified range based on a change range which is among a variable range of the duty ratio of the drive pulse signal and in which the detection value of the electric signal changes in response to a change in the duty ratio.

Image processing apparatus, method to generate image data and registering template for transmitting to a folder named by a character string
An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a registration unit configured to register first image data as a template, a character recognition unit configured to recognize one or more character strings included in second image data different from the first image data, a display unit configured to display the one or more character strings recognized by the character recognition a reception unit configured to receive a selection of a character string displayed by the display unit, the selection being made by a user, and a storage unit configured to store the second image data in a folder named with a character string based on the selection received by the reception unit. The display unit does not display, from among of the one or more character strings recognized by the character recognition unit, a character string included in the image data registered by the registration.
