Abstract

An image forming device includes a scanner configured to generate a manuscript image by scanning a manuscript, a storage configured to store the manuscript image, an image processor configured to generate a preview image by adjusting resolution of the manuscript image, a communication unit configured to transmit the preview image to a display apparatus, and a controller configured to, in response to an editing operation with respect to the preview image being performed in the display apparatus, receive editorial data from the display apparatus and edit the manuscript image.

Claims

1. An image forming device comprising:

a scanner configured to generate a manuscript image by scanning a manuscript;

a storage configured to store the manuscript image;

an image processor configured to generate a preview image by adjusting a resolution of the manuscript image;

a communicator configured to transmit the preview image to an external display apparatus configured to store an application to interwork with the image forming device; and

a controller configured to, in response to an editing operation with respect to the preview image being performed in the external display apparatus, receive editorial data from the external display apparatus and edit the manuscript image according to the received editorial data,

wherein in response to the preview image being received by the external display apparatus by a tagging operation between the external display apparatus and the image forming device being performed while the application is executed, the external display apparatus displays the received preview image.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the communicator comprises a near field frequency communication chip to transmit the preview image to the external display apparatus and to receive the editorial data from the external display apparatus by means of a near field frequency communication method.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein:

the editorial data comprises data of a graphic object which is drawn on the preview image while the preview image is displayed in the external display apparatus; and

in response to the editorial data being received, the controller edits the manuscript image by overlapping the graphic object with the manuscript image stored in the storage.

4. A display apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to communicate with an external image forming device and receive a preview image of a manuscript scanned by the external image forming device;

a display configured to display the preview image;

a sensor configured to sense a user manipulation to edit the preview image;

a controller configured to generate editorial data according to a sensed result of the sensor and transmit the editorial data to the external image forming device through the communicator; and

a storage unit configured to store an application to interwork with the external image forming device,

wherein in response to the preview image being received through the communicator by a tagging operation between the display apparatus and the external image forming device being performed while the application is executed, the controller displays the preview image on the display.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the communicator comprises a near field frequency communication chip to receive the preview image from the external image forming device and transmitting the editorial data to the external image forming device by means of a near field frequency communication method.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein:

in response to a drawing manipulation being sensed from the preview image while the preview image is displayed on the display, the controller draws a graphic object on the preview image according to the drawing manipulation; and

in response to the drawing manipulation being completed, the controller transmits data of the graphic object to the image forming device through the communicator.

7. A method of providing a preview of an image forming device, the method comprising:

generating a manuscript image by scanning a manuscript;

generating a preview image by adjusting a resolution of the manuscript image;

transmitting the preview image to an external display apparatus;

storing an application at the external display apparatus to interwork with the image forming device; and

in response to an editing operation with respect to the preview image being performed in the external display apparatus, editing the manuscript image by receiving editorial data from the external display apparatus,

wherein in response to the preview image being received by the external display apparatus by a tagging operation between the external display apparatus and the image forming device being performed while the application is executed, the external display apparatus displays the received preview image.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein in response to a tagging operation between the external display apparatus and the image forming device being performed, the preview image and the editorial data are transmitted or received by means of a near field frequency communication method.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the editorial data comprises data of a graphic object which is drawn on the preview image while the preview image is displayed in the external display apparatus.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium to contain computer-readable codes as a program to execute the method of claim 7.

10. A method of providing a preview of a display apparatus, the method comprising:

storing an application to interwork with an external image forming device,

a display apparatus configured to store an application to interwork with the image forming device, to receive a preview image of the manuscript image from the image forming device, and to display the preview image in response to the preview image being received by a tapping operation between the display apparatus and the image forming device being performed while the application is executed,

wherein in response to a drawing manipulation being inputted from the preview image, the display apparatus transmits data of a graphic object which is drawn according to the drawing manipulation to the image forming device, and

wherein the image forming device edits the manuscript image by overlapping the graphic object with the manuscript image.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the image forming device and the display apparatus transmit or receive the preview image and the data by means of a near field frequency communication method.

15. A method of providing a preview in an image forming system, the method comprising:

storing an application to interwork an image forming device and a display apparatus;

generating a manuscript image by scanning a manuscript and generating a preview image corresponding to the manuscript image in an image forming device;

receiving and displaying the preview image in the display apparatus in response to the preview image being received by a tagging operation between the display apparatus and the image forming device being performed while the application is executed;
