Abstract:
The present invention relates to a document scanning apparatus which is composed of an automatic document feeding device and an image capturing device. The document scanning apparatus establishes a private area network between the automatic document feeding device and the image capturing device, and causes the automatic document feeding device to send a message to the image capturing device. When the message is received, said image capturing device performs corresponding operations in response to the message. Said operations may comprise, for example adjusting the relative position between the image capturing device and the automatic document feeding device or doing multi-documents scan.

Claim (Index 16):
The scanning method as claimed in  claim 11 , performs the following operations when the message comprises an information of the automatic document feeding device being ready to feed documents:\n controlling the image capturing unit to capture images of documents and temporarily store into a native image linkage; extracting document images stored in the native image linkage, checking errors of exposure, focus and skew of said document image, and suspending the photographing of said image capturing unit to readjust parameters of said image capturing unit when any of errors mentioned above being detected; extracting document images stored in the native image linkage, readjusting image contrast of said document image, cropping needed image block from said document image, temporarily storing said image block into a cropped image linkage and deleting the document image stored in the native image linkage; and extracting the image block temporarily stored in the cropped image linkage and combining different image blocks into a full-page document image by connecting in a fixed image length.
