Facsimile Source Area Height Adjustment for Language-Specific Legibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The readability of characters identifying a facsimile source in facsimile transmission is compromised when the size of the character area remains the same across different languages, leading to incomplete display of characters and reduced legibility at the destination.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that adjusts the size of the character area in the height direction based on the registered language, ensuring that source characters are properly displayed and readable, regardless of the language used, by changing the height of the source recording image area in accordance with the language requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the size of the character area remains the same regardless of language, then the layout structure is simplified and consistent, but the readability and completeness of characters deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The character area size is made dynamic rather than fixed, allowing it to change based on the language being used. The system automatically adjusts the height of the character area according to language-specific requirements, ensuring that characters are always displayed completely and readably without requiring complex manual layout adjustments
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of character area size based on language identification. By detecting the language type and adjusting the character area dimensions accordingly, the system maintains both layout simplicity and character display quality across different languages
2Ease of operation
If a fixed character area size is used, then the system operation is simplified, but the readability of source characters deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting the language type and modifying the character area size without requiring manual intervention. This maintains ease of operation while ensuring reliable character readability, as the system serves itself by adapting to different language requirements

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a transmission unit that performs facsimile transmission to a destination and a changing unit that changes, in accordance with a language registered in the information processing apparatus, size of a certain area, in which characters including source characters for identifying a facsimile source are to be formed, of a sheet output at the destination as a result of the facsimile transmission in a height direction of the characters.
