Application 08/785,109
capable of receiving digital data representing an image of an
original document 24 placed upon a platen of scanner 26.
Computer 22 initially stores the digital input data from scanner
26 in memory 52. See page 8 of Appellant’s specification.
Referring to figure 10, the user may place a number of
photographs on the scanner platen. Once placed thereon, the user
may then select an operation from region 410 of figure 10 to
cause the computer system 22 to initiate scanning by scanner 26.
See page 19 of Appellant’s specification. After the Gang and
Edit (412) is made, system 20 scans the objects placed on platen
24 and temporarily stores the data in the file using the
information reflected in region 420 of the user interface screen.
Once the image is scanned, it is analyzed to identify the image
objects. The image objects may be manipulated by smart scanning
system to automatically orient and position the images. The
various image objects (A, B, C and D) may be found within the
image as illustrated in figure 11. See page 20 of Appellant’s
specification.
