Patent ID: 8823955

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for aligning orientation of outputs of scanned pages from a book, the method comprising: determining an orientation of a first scanned page of a book; and modifying, based on the orientation of the first scanned page, an orientation of an output of a second scanned page of the book relative to an orientation of the second scanned page, wherein the second scanned page is in sequence relative to the first scanned page, and wherein the determining of the orientation of the first scanned page and the modifying of the orientation of the output of the second scanned page are to be performed by a computing system configured to enable book copying, wherein an orientation of an output of the first scanned page is specified by a user using a user interface associated with the computing system, the orientation of the output of the first scanned page includes an angle of orientation of the output of the first scanned page that can be specified by the user using the user interface, and the angle of orientation can be other than 0 degrees relative to the first scanned page and other than 180 degrees relative to the first scanned page.
