First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of capturing a static image using a static image-capturing device, the method includes the steps of:
- detecting any changes in a static image;
if the static image changes, determining if the changed image remains the same for a period of time;
and if the changed image remains unchanged for the period of time, an image capturing operation is executed.

Abstract
A method and a device for automatic capturing of a static image. The automatic static image-capturing device is a scanner. The method includes the following steps. Any changes on a scanning platform are monitored. If a change in the static image on the scanning platform is detected, the change is gauged for a preset time interval to check for any further change during this time interval. If no further change is detected within this time interval, a preset operation is triggered.

4. A static image capturing device for a scanner having a scanning platform, the device comprising:
-
a scanning head mounted underneath the scanning platform that shuttles across the scanning platform for continuous scanning of static image; and a logic decision device comparing the data of a first image captured at an earlier time with the data of a second image captured at a later time and finding their differences; wherein the logic decision device is capable of triggering at least one of a pre-scanning operation or a scanning operation, or combinations thereof, if the logic decision device finds no further difference between the first image and the second image a for pre-set interval after finding a difference. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
