The method comprises establishing at least one digitized authentication image, receiving at least one user-supplied encoding parameter, and determining at least one non-user-supplied encoding parameter. The method further comprises establishing a first encoding parameter set including the at least one user-supplied encoding parameter and the at least one non-user-supplied encoding parameter. The first encoding parameter set is usable to encode one or more of the at least one digitized authentication image. The method also comprises encoding one or more of the at least one digitized authentication image using the first encoding parameter set to produce a final encoded image.

In a pen-based computing system, a printed version of a document having preexisting content is annotated using a smart pen. The smart pen captures handwriting gestures to obtain an electronic representation of the annotations. The smart pen computing system identifies a digital version of the document having the preexisting content and stores the electronic representation of the annotations in association with the digital document. The smart pen computing system may overlay the electronic representation of the annotations with the preexisting content to provide a digital representation of the annotated document.

Apparatus and method for automatic adaptation of an image of a print page into a version suitable for an electronic screen. An input obtains an electronic image of a page of the print publication, the page comprising items, such as headlines, images and articles, arranged in a print version layout. A layout parser parses the page layout, the parsing comprising identifying the items arranged therein, including identifying boundaries of the items within the layout, and text belonging to the items. A text sizing unit selects text sizes for respective items to render the items readable when the text is shown on screen as part of the page. The resized text may no longer fit into the boundaries so a text flowing unit flows text of the item dynamically, thereby to provide an electronic screen version of the image of the page, the screen version retaining the print version layout and having text sized to be readable when shown on a screen.

Various embodiments include a means for simultaneously displaying in an ebook both an ebook page number and its corresponding print version page number.

A sort pattern creating method, for a banknote handling apparatus, comprises a step of selecting a denomination of banknote (S501), a step of selecting a print version of banknote (S502), a step of selecting a direction of banknote (S503), a step of selecting a fitness of banknote (S504), a step of creating the sort pattern by combining the contents selected in the step of selecting a denomination of banknote, a print version of banknote, a direction of banknote and a fitness of banknote (S505). The sort pattern creating method comprises a step of checking a validity of the combination of the contents, wherein the combination is valid when a type of banknote is defined to be sorted into one stacking unit, and the combination is not valid when the type of banknote is not defined to be sorted into one stacking unit.

To reduce errors introduced by a scanner, an unmarked, digital master document may be generated and stored in digital form so that subsequent scanning of the document is unnecessary to place it in digital form for comparison to a marked version of the document. Additionally, regions or fields, rather than the entire digital master document, may be individually created, stored, and subsequently used for comparison to corresponding portions of a marked version. Further, test targets or patterns may be inserted into the content of a digital master document. Characteristics of image quality degeneration and distortion can be extracted from printed versions of the test targets or patterns and used to effect closed loop control to digitally reduce image quality degeneration caused by the scanner.

The present invention provides a distributed print management. A print device comprises a user interface, at least one processor, and at least one computer-readable storage medium for storing instructions. The print device carries out the following process: receiving user ID data; receiving data for identifying at least one print process definition; displaying at least one user interface object corresponding to the at least one print process definition on a user interface; receiving user input for indicating a selected preset user interface object from the at least one user interface object, through the user interface; identifying print setting data in the preset print process definition corresponding to the preset user interface object; executing preset print work, including generating a preset print version of the preset electronic document based the print setting data, and generating print work finish data; and sending the print work finish data to a first device.

The invention relates to a method for hiding and extracting graphic and text information by hanging a halftone image on a net, belonging to an anti-counterfeiting method for halftone image processing in the field of image hard copy. Existing anti-counterfeiting technologies seldom involve the field of halftone image processing. There are mainly two anti-counterfeiting methods: digital type and analog type. The method of the present invention combines digital and analog anti-counterfeiting methods, learns from each other, and can effectively hide graphic and text information in printed manuscripts or printed manuscripts during the actual printing or printing process. At the same time, the printing film produced by the invention can easily extract the printed manuscript or the anti-counterfeit information hidden in the printed manuscript at relatively low cost. The invention ensures that all hidden information is lost after printed manuscripts or printed manuscripts undergo traditional copying and copying processes such as copying or scanning, thereby providing a convenient and quick identification method for the authenticity of anti-counterfeiting appraisal manuscripts.

Techniques described herein overcome many of the issues that have previously made the printing of a single copy of a book from a digital version unattractive and infeasible. According to one embodiment of the invention, an automated mechanism such as a computer program automatically determines whether the spine thickness of a to-be-printed copy of a digital version of a book will exceed the specified maximum spine thickness that a specified binding or other finishing device can handle. In response to determining that the spine thickness will exceed the specified maximum spine thickness, the automated mechanism automatically splits the digital version of the book into two or more volumes such that, for each volume, the spine thickness of the printed version of that volume will be no greater than the specified maximum spine thickness that the specified binding or other finishing device can handle.

The invention discloses a method for operating an offset printing machine, a control device thereof, an offset printing machine and offset printing materials. The method of operating an offset printing press comprises the steps of: (a) directing a beam of light onto an offset printing plate of an offset printing press comprising image areas bearing printing ink and non-image areas bearing fountain solution, the beam incident on the offset printing plate on, to scatter and specularly reflect from the flexographic printing plate, (b) detect the scattered light and provide a corresponding first signal representing the brightness of the detected scattered light and representing the amount of printing ink in the image area, whereby the first signal can be used In order to control the application of printing ink, (c) detect the specularly reflected light, and provide a corresponding second signal representing the intensity of the detected reflected light, (d) process the first signal to identify when the light falls on the image area, ( e) filtering the second signal using data obtained from processing the first signal to provide an output signal indicative of the amount of dampening solution present on the flexographic printing plate when light impinges on the non-image area.
