Abstract:

A system for customizing individual internet access includes a server that registers a user with the system, stores information pertaining to internet sites the user is authorized to access, and controls the users access to internet sites. A carding station is provided to enter personal identification information about the user and information regarding internet sites the user is authorized to access into the system. The carding station also generates a personal smart card for the user that includes a read only memory storing a serial number that correlates with data about the user stored in the server. An internet station is provided to allow the user to view the internet only with his or her personal smart card. While accessing the internet, the server controls the users access to internet sites based on whether the information stored in the server indicates that the user is authorized to access the specific internet sites that are requested to be displayed. A secure sockets layer protocol provides security for the data transferred across the internet connection.

International Classification:

H04N 160

US Classification:

358 19

Abstract:

The present invention provides a color-control method for use in an image reproducing process where the image is reduced to a plurality of pixels, with each pixel having a color value. The color control method uses a color control program in the image reproduction process. The color control program includes a color correction module and a color separation module. The color correction program provides a method for using HSL values to select which pixels will be color corrected. The color-separation program is used to convert RGB color values to YMCK color values and provides for undercolor removal and black generation. Undercolor removal removes gray components from the hue pixel data and replaces it with black pixel data. The black generation routine provides for the selection of pixels for which black will be added by the input of selected parameter of an HSL slice range.
