Image processing apparatus and image processing method, and recording medium storing image processing program

摘要

A novel image processing apparatus that provides effective digitized audio while ensuring audio clarity and outputs image data adding the digitized audio is provided. The image processing apparatus includes an audio recording unit that stores audio data based on input audio in an audio storage device, a data editing unit that adds the audio data to image data, control circuitry that instructs the recording unit to record when a predetermined recording condition is satisfied, and a data output unit to output the image data in an appropriate format. For example, the control circuitry considers a condition that the scanner scans the document set on a platen as the recording condition.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
an audio recording unit to store audio data based on input audio in an audio storage device; a data editing unit to add the audio data to image data; control circuitry to instruct the audio recording unit to record when a predetermined recording condition is satisfied; a scanner to scan an image on a document and output the image data, wherein the control circuitry instructs the scanner to scan the document and the recording unit to record the audio simultaneously when the predetermined recording condition is satisfied; an automatic document feeder to transfer sheets of a document set placed on a document tray, one sheet by one sheet, to the scanner; a document detector to detect the number of sheets of the document set on the document tray; and a reporting unit to report a waiting time, wherein the control circuitry calculates waiting time until the recording unit can record the audio after the scanner scans the document set on the document tray based on the number of sheets of the document that the document detector detects and instructs the reporting unit to output the waiting time.
