ABSTRACT:
An image processing system provides a very friendly user interface over its scanner for selecting one image processing program to process image signals generated by the scanner. The image processing system comprises a personal computer and a scanner connected to the computer. The scanner comprises a scanning circuit for scanning a document to generate image signals, a user interface containing a display device for displaying message signals and an input circuit for generating selection signals according to user inputs. The computer contains a plurality of image processing programs for processing the image signals generated by the scanning circuit and a scanner control program for transmitting a message signal to the display device of the scanner. The message signal contains one instruction about selecting one of the image processing programs to process the image signals generated by the scanning circuit. The scanner control program activates one of the image processing programs to processing the image signals according to a selection signal received from the scanner which is generated by a user according to the message signal displayed by the scanner control program.
