Patent ID: 8599401

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: an analysis result reception unit that receives an analysis result of an information image scanned by an information image scan unit; an inclination reception unit that receives inclination when the information image scan unit scans the information image; a date and time reception unit that receives a date and time when the information image scan unit scans the information image; a date and time extraction unit that extracts a date and time when the information image scanned by the information image scan unit is printed; a determination unit that determines whether or not to adjust a size of a pixel cluster constituting the information image, based on whether the date and time received by the date and time reception unit is within a predetermined time period from the date and time extracted by the date and time extraction unit; an adjustment unit, when the determination unit determines that the size of the pixel cluster should be adjusted, adjusts the size of the pixel cluster constituting an information image based on an at least one of the analysis result received by the analysis result reception unit and inclination received by the inclination reception unit; an information image generation unit that generates an output information image constituted by the pixel cluster adjusted by the adjustment unit; and an output unit that outputs a document in which the output information image generated by the information image generation unit is combined.
