A computer-implemented method for recommending at least one substrate to be used in conjunction with a digital image to form a print product includes: providing a digital image; providing a list of available substrates stored in a memory; utilizing a processor, allowing for the selection of at least one of a size of substrate to be used to form a print product or a display location for the print product; automatically identifying at least one substrate from the list of available substrates utilizing the processor based on at least one of the selected substrate size or the selected display location; displaying the identified at least one substrate on a display; and allowing for the selection of the identified at least one substrate for fulfillment to produce the print product including the digital image disposed on the selected at least one substrate.

An integrated circuit includes a pipeline of compare logic stages. The pipeline, at successive pipeline stages, determines whether each of a set of input symbols meets a corresponding programmable criteria. The compare logic stages each compare the set of input symbols to a respective programmable value. The compare logic stages also each provide, to a respective successive compare logic stage, a corresponding plurality of indicators of whether respective ones of the set of input symbols met the corresponding programmable criteria for that compare logic stage. The corresponding programmable criteria are configurable to be based at least in part on the corresponding plurality of indicators from a respective previous compare logic stage.

An image processing device includes an image inputter, a selector and a generator. The image inputter inputs an image. The selector selects a setting of a layout. The generator, based on the setting of the layout, generates, from the image, a document file having information about the layout.

A method and system for eliminating contraband in legal postal mail at a correctional facility comprising of a facility-use legal mail scanning station and a network of inmate-accessible devices and or messaging systems such that correctional institution staff can inspect the legal mail for contraband without violating an inmate's right to privacy for such mail. The legal mail is scanned by the staff member or inmate under the supervision of a staff member and then shredded or placed into the inmate's personal property in secure storage. The scanned mail may then be made available to the intended inmate through the inmate-accessible devices or printed at the scanning station to ensure the elimination of contraband.

Techniques for providing location identifiers of devices to render image data comprising faces are described. According to an example of the present subject matter, a face present in image data is detected. A contact identifier corresponding to the face is obtained and a location identifier of a device to render image data is sent to the contact identifier.

Example implementations disclosed herein includes techniques for devices, systems, and methods for a multifunction device for generating modified documents based on a physical document comprising images and text. The modified documents are generated according to arrangements that exclude the images or the text.

An image scanning apparatus includes a display unit, a scan unit configured to continuously generate a first scan image and a second scan image, and a processor configured to compare the generated first scan image and second scan image and determine whether the first scan image and the second scan image are scan images with respect to the a same original, and in response to determining that the first scan image and the second scan image are scan images with respect to a same original, control the display unit to display a notification message.

There are provided an imaging section imaging a subject and generating a plurality of images; an evaluating section performing evaluation on the plurality of images generated by the imaging section; a selecting section selecting, based on an evaluation result of the evaluating section, a part of images from among the plurality of images generated by the imaging section; a recognizing section performing scene recognition on a plurality of images selected by the selecting section; and a determining section determining, based on a recognition result of the recognizing section, reproduction order of the plurality of images subjected to the scene recognition.

Some aspects of the invention relate to a mobile apparatus including an image sensor configured to convert an optical image into an electrical signal. The optical image includes an image of a vehicle license plate. The mobile apparatus includes a license plate detector configured to process the electrical signal to recover information from the vehicle license plate image. The mobile apparatus includes an interface configured to transmit the vehicle license plate information to a remote apparatus, receive vehicle configuration information for a vehicle corresponding to the vehicle license plate in response to the transmission, and receive user input to post the vehicle configuration information to an external website.
