Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the case where the latent background image hidden in the background image with the mask image as a latent image is combined and output with the main image, as shown in FIG. 12, the printed result is the latent background image BI. Overlapping the main image MI, the latent pattern is printed on the entire paper, so it may not be very beautiful, especially in the case of color printing.
[0009] In addition, in order not to degrade the image quality of the main image due to the hidden latent background image, complex image processing is required when combining the latent image pattern and the background image with the main image of the original, as shown in Fig. 13, when When the print data of the main image MI' exists on the entire output sheet, the main image MI' and latent background image BI' cannot be synthesized without degrading the image quality of the main image MI'

[0029] For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , the present invention is applicable to a printing system 100 in which a client (client) 110 and an image forming apparatus (printer) 120 are communicably connected to each other through a network 130 such as a LAN. In addition, the image forming apparatus 120 may be directly connected to the client 110 through a USB interface, a parallel interface, or the like instead of the network 130 .

[0030] The client 110 is constituted by, for example, a so-called personal computer on which various programs including an application program 110A, an operating system 110B, and a device driver 110C are installed. The image forming apparatus 120 is constituted by, for example, a so-called multi-function device in which various programs including firmware 120A and the like are installed. In addition, the image forming device 120 is not particularly limited to this example, and various devices capable of printing an image on output paper, such as a pr...

[0066] Next, a printing system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a printing system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, since the hardware configuration of the printing system of this embodiment is the same as that of the printing system shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , description will be made with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 as appropriate.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 7 , the client 110 a has a main image creation unit 10 a , a file tracking information storage unit 17 a , a latent image background image creation unit 18 a and a transmission unit 35 . The image forming apparatus 120a has a receiving unit 36, a composite mode determining unit 12a, a main image accepting unit 13a, an output area determining unit 14a, a reduced main image unit 15a, a PDL converting unit 16a, a hidden latent image background image receiving unit 37, a reduced hidden image...

Abstract

An image forming processing apparatus includes: an image processor which synthesizes a latent image embedded background image data concerning a latent image embedded background image which is embedded with a mask image capable of keeping invisible in the process of printing but becoming visible in the process of copying as a latent image and a primary image data concerning a primary image into output data; and a controller which determines whether or not a synthesizing mode of synthesizing the latent image embedded background image and the primary image is set, and controls the image processor to synthesize the primary image data and the latent image embedded background image data without any superimposition of the primary image and the latent image embedded background image when the synthesizing mode is set.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming and processing device and an image forming and processing method for synthesizing and outputting a hidden latent image background image hidden in a background image using a mask image as a latent image and a main image. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to the development of copying technology, the image quality of copies has been continuously improved, and copies that are very close to the original can be obtained. However, on the other hand, there is also the problem of unauthorized use of the copy, so a technology capable of distinguishing the original from the copy is desired. [0003] Also, currently, in order to suppress unauthorized copying of confidential documents, special paper called copy-forgery-prevention paper is used. The so-called anti-copying counterfeit paper refers to a special type of paper that is pre-printed and hard to see by human eyes, but hidden warning texts ...
