Method and system for managing image data for electronic paper, image processing apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for computer program
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus having a scanner to scan a paper placed thereon and a function to perform communication with electronic paper having a display area, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to;
obtain, from the electronic paper, display conditions data indicating which part of an original document image corresponds to a displayed image that is an image displayed on the display area of the electronic paper;
send, to the electronic paper, a command to request the electronic paper to finish displaying the displayed image;
obtain write image data that is image data of a write image corresponding to an image written by hand on the display area of the electronic paper, by scanning only the write image written on the display area of the electronic paper with the scanner after finishing displaying the displayed image by the command; and
store original document image data that is image data of the original document image, the display conditions data, and the write image data obtained by scanning in a storage portion, the displayed image data, the display conditions data, and the write image data being associated with one another; and
generate a composite image in which the write image is overlaid on a part indicated in the display conditions data of the original document image based on the original document image data, the write image data, and the display conditions data.

6. A method for managing image data, the method comprising:
-
a first step of obtaining display conditions data, from an electronic paper having a display area, the display conditions data indicating which part of an original document image corresponds to a displayed image that is an image displayed on the display area of the electronic paper; a second step of controlling the electronic paper to finish displaying the displayed image; a third step of obtaining write image data that is image data of a write image corresponding to an image written by hand on the display area of the electronic paper, by scanning only the write image written on the display area of the electronic paper with a scanner after finishing displaying the displayed image in the second step; a fourth step of controlling a storage portion to store, therein, original document image data that is image data of the original document image, the display conditions data, and the write image data obtained by scanning in the storage portion, the original document image data, the display conditions data, and the write image data being associated with one another; and a fifth step of generating a composite image by overlaying the write image on a part indicated in the display conditions data of the original document image based on the original document image data, the write image data, and the display conditions data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing thereon a computer program used in an image processing apparatus having a scanner scanning a paper placed thereon and a function to perform communication with electronic paper having a display area, the computer program causing the image processing apparatus to perform:
-
a first process of obtaining display conditions data, from the electronic paper, the display conditions data indicating which part of an original document image corresponds to a displayed image that is an image displayed on the display area of the electronic paper; a second process of controlling the electronic paper to finish displaying the displayed image; a third process of obtaining write image data that is image data of a write image corresponding to an image written by hand on the display area of the electronic paper, by scanning only the write image written on the display area of the electronic paper with the scanner after finishing displaying the displayed image in the second process; a fourth process of controlling a storage portion to store, therein, original document image data that is image data of the original document image, the display conditions data, and the write image data obtained by scanning in the storage portion, the original document image data, the display conditions data, and the write image data being associated with one another; and a fifth step of generating a composite image by overlaying the write image on a part indicated in the display conditions data of the original document image based on the original document image data, the write image data, and the display conditions data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
