Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a document processing apparatus and a document processing program that shorten the time of document processing associated with analysis and creation of a woven pattern image. <P>SOLUTION: When a transmission-destination device has a processing function for the woven pattern image, the document processing apparatus transmits a document as it is to the transmission-destination device. When the transmission-destination device does not have the processing function for the woven pattern image, the document processing apparatus creates a document composed of a document image in which the woven pattern image is included, and transmits the created document to the transmission-destination device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus and a document processing program.

  In recent years, a technique for adding a copy check pattern (hereinafter referred to as a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image) to a printing result formed by an image forming apparatus such as a printer has been disclosed due to an increase in awareness of document security.

  For example, there is an image copying apparatus that embeds information of all devices involved in image formation in an output image, a control method thereof, and a recording medium (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, for example, there is a digital watermarked document handling apparatus and a digital watermarked document handling method for adding or changing another digital information to a digital watermark while leaving the original print data of the printed document in which the digital watermark information is embedded. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  Also, for example, analysis of digital watermark information contributes to increase the copy time. Therefore, if there is no color device at the transfer destination, there are image processing apparatuses and systems that transfer without image analysis, and control methods thereof. (For example, refer to Patent Document 3).

In addition, for example, there is an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program that acquire predetermined information about printing means and determine whether a background pattern can be combined with an electronic file (for example, see Patent Document 4). ).

A first processing unit that transmits the document to the device when the device connected via the communication unit can process the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image;
If the device connected via the communication unit cannot process the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image creation unit creates a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image from the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information included in the document. A document processing apparatus comprising: a second processing unit configured to combine the document with the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image combining unit and transmit the combined document to the device. A tint block information analyzing means for analyzing the tint block information from the tint block image combined with the document;
When transmitting the document in which the tint block image is synthesized to the device, if the confirmation unit confirms that the unit cannot process the tint block image, the tint block information is obtained from the tint block image synthesized in the document. The copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information analyzing unit analyzes the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information, and the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image creating unit creates a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image creation unit from the analyzed copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information and the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information included in the document. The document processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: third processing means for combining and transmitting the combined document to the apparatus. A copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image creation process for creating a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image from the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information for creating a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image included in the document stored in the storage device;
A tint block image synthesis process for synthesizing the created tint block image with the document;
A first process of transmitting the document to the apparatus when the apparatus connected via the communication means can process the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image;
If the device connected via the communication means cannot process the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is created from the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern information included in the document, the created copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is combined with the document, A document processing program that causes a computer to execute a second process of transmitting a synthesized document to the apparatus.
