Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional business machines require users to manually select typesetting options and operate multiple times to copy both sides of a document, leading to inefficiency and inconvenience due to the complexity of the operation panel.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with an intelligent typesetting function that uses scanning position information and preset typesetting parameters to automatically apply typesetting settings to both sides of a document, reducing the need for manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation panel selection is used for typesetting, then user control over output format is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects document characteristics and applies appropriate typesetting parameters without requiring user intervention. The processor analyzes the scanned document and autonomously selects typesetting modes, eliminating the need for manual operation panel selection while maintaining optimal output formatting.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple typesetting parameter sets are pre-configured in the system for different document types. The system has previously prepared various typesetting schemes (such as single-sided, double-sided, booklet binding modes) so that when a document is scanned, the appropriate pre-configured parameters can be quickly applied without requiring real-time user configuration.
2Productivity
If multiple operation steps are required for double-sided copying, then copying control flexibility is improved, but copying efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines the scanning of both document sides and the application of typesetting parameters into a single automated process. Instead of requiring separate operations for scanning front side, scanning back side, and applying typesetting, the system performs these operations in one continuous automated sequence, significantly reducing total copying time.
Solution Approach 2:
The copying process continues without interruption - the system scans the first side, automatically scans the second side, and continuously applies the appropriate typesetting parameters throughout the process. This eliminates idle time between operations and maintains continuous productive action from document placement to output generation.
3Measurement precision
If user must study operation panel functions, then operational precision is improved, but learning curve and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-analysis of document characteristics and automatically selects appropriate typesetting parameters without requiring user knowledge or decision-making. The processor autonomously determines the optimal output format based on scanned document properties, eliminating the need for users to study operation panel functions while maintaining accurate output.
Data Source
AI summary
An image processing device with intelligent typesetting function and method thereof is provided. A processor is connected to an image capture module, a memory module and an output module respectively. A first image is acquired by the image capture module and a set of scanning position information in the memory module. A set of typesetting parameters is applied to the corresponding scanning position information. The processor continues to obtain a second side image through the image capture module and applies the set of typesetting parameters. The processor generates a typesetting image based on the set of typesetting parameters, the first side image and the second side image, and causes the output module to output the typesetting image. Through intuitive scanning procedures and intelligent and quick application of preset image typesetting methods, tedious operations are reduced, thereby improving efficiency and convenience.
