Description

可提升作業速度之作業方法及其適用之影像處理設備Work method capable of improving work speed and its applicable image processing equipment

  本案係關於一種作業方法,尤指一種可提升作業速度之作業方法及其適用之影像處理設備。The present invention relates to a working method, and more particularly to a working method capable of improving the working speed and an image processing apparatus applicable thereto.

  近年來,隨著電子工業的演進以及工業技術的蓬勃發展,科技日新月異,各種電子裝置及設備也隨著使用者的需求而不斷被要求提升其處理或作業速度。然而,為了因應處理或作業速度的提升,往往需要重新設計整個電子裝置及設備的系統,甚至必須將內部元組件全數更換為更高規格,以符合新系統的需求,使得開發成本和時程隨之增加。In recent years, with the evolution of the electronics industry and the rapid development of industrial technology, technology is changing with each passing day, and various electronic devices and devices are constantly being asked to increase the processing speed or operation speed as the user demands. However, in order to cope with the increase in processing speed or operation speed, it is often necessary to redesign the entire electronic device and equipment system, and even the internal components must be completely replaced with higher specifications to meet the requirements of the new system, so that the development cost and time course Increase.

  舉例而言,目前影像處理設備已成為企業或者家庭中不可或缺的產品,其中又以多功能事務機具有高性價比、耗材更換簡單、功能多樣化且易於使用等優點,故廣為企業或家庭所採用。請參閱第1A圖以及第1B圖,其係分別為習知影像處理設備掃描影像之作業方法流程示意圖以及習知影像處理設備列印影像之作業方法流程示意圖。如第1A圖及第1B圖所示,習知之影像處理設備欲進行影像掃描作業時,係先經由步驟S101開始掃描以使影像處理設備之微處理器(Micro-processing Unit, MPU)啟動掃描程序,而如步驟S102所示開始進行影像掃描動作;接著,將掃描後所獲得之影像資料進行步驟S103所示之影像運算、解析及轉換,並於完成後對該影像資料進行步驟S104所示之影像壓縮作業,再如步驟S105將其儲存為檔案;然後,判斷是否有下一頁之接續影像要進行處理,亦即進行步驟S106,若判斷仍有下一頁之接續影像要進行處理,則回到步驟S102開始進行影像掃描動作。反之,若判斷已無下一頁之接續影像要進行處理,則如步驟S107所示,結束此掃描程序。For example, image processing equipment has become an indispensable product in enterprises or homes. Among them, multi-function machines have the advantages of high cost performance, simple replacement of consumables, diversified functions and easy to use, so they are widely used in enterprises or families. Adopted. Please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B , which are schematic diagrams showing a flow chart of a method for scanning an image of a conventional image processing device and a flow chart of a method for printing an image of a conventional image processing device. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, when the image processing device is to perform an image scanning operation, the scanning is started in step S101 to enable the microprocessor (Micro-processing unit (MPU) of the image processing device to start the scanning process. The image scanning operation is started as shown in step S102. Then, the image data obtained after the scanning is subjected to image calculation, analysis and conversion shown in step S103, and after completion, the image data is displayed in step S104. The image compression operation is further stored as a file in step S105; then, it is determined whether there is a subsequent image of the next page to be processed, that is, step S106 is performed, and if it is determined that there is still a subsequent image of the next page to be processed, Returning to step S102, the image scanning operation is started. On the other hand, if it is judged that there is no subsequent image of the next page to be processed, the scanning process is ended as shown in step S107.

  同理,當習知之影像處理設備欲進行列印作業時,係先經由步驟S111開始列印以使影像處理設備之微處理器啟動列印程序,而如步驟S112所示開啟檔案並準備進行列印作業;接著,將開啟檔案所獲得之影像資料進行步驟S113所示之影像運算、解析及轉換,並於完成後對該影像資料進行步驟S114所示之影像解壓縮作業,再如步驟S115將其輸出並列印;然後,判斷是否有下一頁之接續影像要進行處理,亦即進行步驟S116,若判斷仍有下一頁之接續檔案要進行處理,則回到步驟S112開啟檔案並準備進行影像列印動作。反之,若判斷已無下一頁之接續檔案要進行處理,則如步驟S117所示,結束此列印程序。Similarly, when the conventional image processing apparatus wants to perform the printing operation, the printing is started in step S111 to enable the microprocessor of the image processing apparatus to start the printing process, and the file is opened and ready to be listed as shown in step S112. Then, the image data obtained by opening the file is subjected to image calculation, analysis and conversion shown in step S113, and after completion, the image data is subjected to the image decompression operation shown in step S114, and then step S115 is performed. The output is printed and printed; then, it is determined whether there is a subsequent image of the next page to be processed, that is, step S116 is performed, and if it is determined that there is still a subsequent file of the next page to be processed, the process returns to step S112 to open the file and prepare to proceed. Image printing action. On the other hand, if it is judged that there is no subsequent file of the next page to be processed, the printing process is ended as shown in step S117.

  由此可見,習知之影像處理設備欲進行影像掃描或列印作業時,必須等影像壓縮完成並儲存為檔案或影像解壓縮完成並印出之後,始能進行接續資料之掃描或列印作業,然因影像處理以及影像壓縮、解壓縮須消耗微處理器大量之運算時間,故微處理器的規格及處理速度遂成為影像處理設備作業速度最大的瓶頸。It can be seen that the conventional image processing device is required to perform image scanning or printing operations, and must wait for the image compression to be completed and stored as a file or image after the decompression is completed and printed, and then the scanning or printing operation of the subsequent data can be performed. However, since image processing and image compression and decompression consume a large amount of computing time of the microprocessor, the specification and processing speed of the microprocessor become the biggest bottleneck of the image processing equipment.

  然而,隨著使用者的需求不斷提高,影像處理設備的掃描及列印速度勢必要跟著提高以符合使用者的期望。因此,為了達到更高速處理、作業的要求,新產品的開發就必須更改系統規劃及元組件之規格,從設計、研發、採購到生產,在在都增加了再次開發之成本及時間。However, as the needs of users continue to increase, the scanning and printing speed of image processing equipment must be increased to meet user expectations. Therefore, in order to achieve higher speed processing and operation requirements, the development of new products must change the specifications of system planning and meta-components. From design, R&D, procurement to production, the cost and time of re-development are increased.

  因此,如何發展一種足以改善上述習知技術之缺失,且能避免因再次開發而更改系統規劃及元組件規格,以降低金錢及時間浪費之可提升作業速度之作業方法及其適用之影像處理設備,實為目前迫切需要解決之問題。Therefore, how to develop an operation method capable of improving the above-mentioned conventional technology and avoiding the change of system planning and component specifications due to redevelopment, thereby reducing the waste of money and time, and the applicable image processing equipment It is an urgent problem to be solved.
