Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image processing systems lack the ability to efficiently generate and transmit document-image information with customizable settings, such as resolution and size, after initial optical scanning, limiting user flexibility and quality in fax transmission.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that performs preview display processing using multiple transmission settings, allowing users to select and generate new image information based on these settings, enabling customizable transmission of document-image information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transmission settings are applied to generate preview images, then user flexibility and image quality control are improved, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating multiple preview images with different transmission settings (resolution, size, quality) before the actual fax transmission. This allows users to select the optimal setting in advance, avoiding the need to re-scan or re-process the document after transmission begins.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission process is segmented into distinct phases: preview generation phase (where multiple settings are created), selection phase (user chooses optimal setting), and execution phase (actual transmission). This segmentation allows the system to prepare multiple options without committing to one setting until the user decides.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transmission settings are generated for preview, then user choice and image optimization are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing apparatus is designed with multi-functionality to handle various transmission settings (different resolutions, sizes, quality levels) within a single device. Rather than requiring separate devices or complex external processing, the system integrates multiple transmission capability functions into one apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates multiple copies of the scanned document image, each processed with different transmission settings. These copies serve as previews, allowing the user to compare and select the most appropriate version for the intended fax transmission without affecting the original scan.
3Manufacturing precision
If preview display processing is performed with multiple transmission settings, then transmission quality is improved, but data processing volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions or aspects of the transmission process are assigned different quality levels. The preview images are generated with varying local qualities (resolution, compression) appropriate for their specific transmission setting, rather than uniformly high quality across all previews. This optimizes the balance between image quality and data volume.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing. The process includes performing preview display processing on a piece of content of document-image information generated by optically scanning a document by using one reading setting, the preview display processing being performed by using multiple transmission settings that are different from the one reading setting; and generating new image information in a case where one of pieces of content of the document-image information each of which results from the preview display processing performed by using a corresponding one of the multiple transmission settings is selected, the new image information being generated from the document-image information by using one of the transmission settings that corresponds to the selected piece of content.
