Document Preview System Using Partial Region Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in efficiently searching for the appropriate preview images among numerous combinations of setting values for reading attributes when generating a read image of an original document, as existing systems generate multiple preview images, making it hard to check the appropriateness of attribute settings.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system that includes an imaging unit and a processor, which displays a captured image of the original document, allows users to designate attribute values, generates a preview image using a partial region of the document as a generation range, and displays it enlarged, enabling easier checking of attribute settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple preview images are generated by combining all selection candidates for reading attributes, then the user can check all possible settings, but the number of preview images increases significantly making it difficult to search for the intended setting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary portion of the original document (partial region) to generate the preview image, rather than processing the entire document. This extraction principle reduces the amount of data to be processed and displayed, making it easier for users to locate and evaluate the intended setting among multiple preview images.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the preview generation process by allowing users to specify a particular region of interest on the original document. Instead of generating full-document preview images, the system divides the task into region-specific previews, enabling users to efficiently check settings for specific areas without being overwhelmed by complete document previews.
2Reliability
If full document preview images are generated, then the complete document appearance can be checked, but the file size and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the specified partial region from the original document for preview generation, eliminating the need to process and display the entire document. This extraction approach maintains verification reliability for the region of interest while dramatically reducing processing time and computational resources required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by generating preview images for only the specified region rather than the entire document. This partial processing approach is sufficient for verifying reading attributes in the area of interest, avoiding the excessive time and resources that would be required to process complete document previews.

AI summary
An image processing system includes an imaging unit, and a processor, in which the processor is configured to display a captured image of an original document captured by the imaging unit in a case where a reading attribute set by a user in a case where a read image of the original document is generated, and an attribute value of the reading attribute are designated, acquire a position on the captured image designated by the user, generate a preview image of the original document in accordance with the designated attribute value by using a partial region on the original document including the acquired position as a generation range, and display the preview image in an enlarged manner.
