A system and method for rapid workflow design utilizing machine learning includes a scanner, a convolutional neural network, a converter, a graph generator, and a controller. The scanner may convert a paper copy of a process flow into a pixelated image. The convolutional neural network is configured to segment the pixelated image into objects including at least one of an action, a decision, a connector, or a combination thereof. The converter is configured to transform the objects into a connectivity matrix. The graph generator is configured to transform the connectivity matrix into a rectilinear graph. The controller is configured to identify automated actions, semi-automatic actions, and actions requiring operator input from graphical icons provided on the paper copy and, based on the rectilinear graph, to serialize the automated actions, the semi-automatic actions, and the actions requiring operator input as control commands to a printing system.

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 instruction position specifying unit which specifies a position of an indicator, a target detecting unit which detects a mark of a medium, an instruction reception unit which receives an instruction corresponding to a position which is indicated by a user using the indicator based on the detected mark, and a processing unit which performs a process corresponding to the received instruction are included.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for facsimile requirements monitoring during facsimile transmission of a form. In an embodiment of the invention, a method of facsimile requirements monitoring during facsimile transmission of a form is provided. The method includes loading a document directed for facsimile transmission by a facsimile data processing system, identifying within the document a facsimile requirement that a particular location within the document include end user supplied data, determining whether or not the particular location specified by the facsimile requirement includes end user supplied data, and generating an error message in the facsimile device responsive to a determination that the particular location lacks any end user supplied data.

An image reading apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. The image reading apparatus includes a communication device configured to perform communication in a preset communication manner, a scanner configured to generate a scan image by scanning a manuscript, and at least one processor configured to control the communication device to transmit use information of the manuscript to an address corresponding to authorship information in response to a preset security pattern including the authorship information being detected in the generated scan image.
