US Classification:

358/001150

Abstract:

System and method for scanning an image via an Internet receiver. A scanner may be linked to, or housed within, a set-top device or a display device or Internet appliance. The scanner automatically detects the image and acquires the image in electronic format. A control module for the Internet receiver is preferably embodied in computer readable program code stored on computer readable storage media. The computer readable program code may comprise program code for receiving the image in electronic format from the scanner; and program code for performing at least one function with the image in electronic format via the Internet receiver.

Inventors:

Eric Aas - Windsor CO, US
Gordon Nuttall - Fort Collins CO, US

International Classification:

H01L027/00

US Classification:

250/208100

Abstract:

The invention discloses a system and method for an optical imaging device comprising an image sensor for reading image data from an original slid over the image sensor, a variable power interface for varying an intensity of an illumination source corresponding to the image sensor, wherein the intensity is varied responsive to velocities of the original slid over the image sensor, and a processor for processing the image data.

Inventors:

Gordon R. Nuttall - Fort Collins CO, US
Eugene A. Miksch - Loveland CO, US

International Classification:

H04N 1/04
H05K 13/00

US Classification:

358474, 295921

Abstract:

A self-contained mobile optical scanning system having an image scanner contained within a hollow inside space defined by mated engagement of an upper housing and a lower housing having corresponding upper and lower transparent windows having reduced margins and a scanning control interface rotatable through the enclosed space which allows scanning through the upper transparent window in either the upright or inverted condition by alignment of viewable indicator marks and overlap indicators in relation to an article which allows stitched alignment of a plurality of scanning cycles to generate images embeddable with metadata or data files.
