CPC Class H04N

A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices.

An inspection apparatus inspects image data obtained by reading a sheet using a reference image of the image data. The inspection apparatus obtains first image data by reading a sheet having lines printed thereon, obtains second image data from print data of the lines, performs edge correction on the lines included in the second image data by applying a plurality of edge correction parameters being different from each other, and determines an edge correction parameter of the plurality of edge correction parameters that minimizes a difference between a density of the second image data subjected to the edge correction and a density of the first image data. In addition, edge correction is performed on the reference image using the determined edge correction parameter, and image data obtained by reading a sheet of an inspection target using the reference image on which the edge correction has been performed is inspected.

Provided is an image processing apparatus that performs image processing on original image data, the apparatus including a communication transceiver that performs communication with a terminal, a memory that stores parameter information indicating a relationship between image processing-related information transmitted from the terminal and an image processing parameter, and a processor, in which the processor acquires the original image data from an image server that communicates with the image processing apparatus via the communication transceiver, performs, the image processing on the original image data using the image processing parameter corresponding to the image processing-related information based on the parameter information, and transmits image data after the image processing to the terminal via the communication transceiver.
