Image Processing Scan Settings for Visible Correction Marks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems struggle with maintaining the visibility of correction marks during document scanning, as automatic changes in setting values can lead to users unknowingly obtaining scans without correction marks, decreasing usability.
Innovation Solution
The image processing apparatus provides a notification of setting values used for leaving correction marks and prevents changes to settings that affect the visibility of correction marks, ensuring that the user can execute scans with the intended settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the correction mark setting is automatically changed after user operation, then the scan can be executed with updated settings, but the user cannot identify the setting value used in executing the scan
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user by displaying the setting value that is currently being used for correction marks. This feedback mechanism ensures that users are aware of the active setting before scanning, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining automatic setting change capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system displays the setting value to the user before the scanning operation is executed. This preliminary action allows users to verify the correction mark setting is appropriate before the scan proceeds, preventing unintended settings from being applied.
2Productivity
If the setting value for leaving correction marks is changed automatically, then the scan execution is streamlined, but usability decreases due to user inability to identify the setting value
Solution Approach 1:
By providing visual feedback that displays the current correction mark setting value, the system maintains ease of operation. Users can quickly verify the setting without manual checking, preserving scan execution efficiency while improving user awareness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically displaying the relevant setting information to the user. This eliminates the need for users to manually search for or remember setting values, maintaining productivity while enhancing ease of operation.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate document data based on a read document, a setting unit configured to enable a correction mark setting for including a correction mark in the document data to be generated by the generating unit, the correction mark indicating that a correction has been made in the document, and a display control unit configured to perform, in a case where the correction mark setting is enabled, display control regarding the enabling of the correction mark setting.
