Generation of scan data by user input

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory to store instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

display a user interface related to a document scan;

generate scan data regarding a first page and a second page of a document in response to a user input received through the user interface;

display, through the user interface, a first scan result including the first page and the second page of the document or a second scan result including one of the first page and the second page of the document based on the scan data; and

automatically select between displaying the first scan result and the second scan result based on a predetermined criterion corresponding to whether the first page or the second page of the document is a blank page.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

display, through the user interface, a third scan result where at least one page is skipped from the first scan result or the second scan result according to a predetermined criterion.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

generate simplex scan data including the first page or the second page of the document and selected by a user input.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the user interface comprises an automatic scan interface, a simplex scan interface, and a duplex scan interface, and

wherein the received user input comprises activation of the automatic scan interface.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein, based on activation of the automatic scan interface, at least one option of performing a duplex scan, skipping a blank page, and changing a page orientation is activated.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

generate the scan data by changing a page orientation of the document and matching orientations of pages of the document so that the orientation of each page of the document coincides.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

generate the scan data by changing a page orientation of the document and matching writing orientations of pages of the document based on a writing direction of the document.

8 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one page includes a blank page.

9 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined criterion comprises an amount of contents or a blank amount.

10 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

hide the skipped at least one page from the third scan result.

11 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

separate the skipped at least one page and a non-skipped page in the third scan result.

12 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the third scan result does not include the skipped at least one page.

13 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:

display a graphic representation indicating the skipped at least one page in the third scan result.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

instructions to display a user interface related to a document scan;

instructions to generate scan data regarding a first page and a second page of a document in response to a user input received through the user interface;

instructions to display, through the user interface, a first scan result including the first page and the second page of the document or a second scan result including one of the first page and the second page of the document based on the scan data; and

instructions to automatically select between displaying the first scan result and the second scan result based on a predetermined criterion corresponding to whether the first page or the second page of the document is a blank page.

15 . A method comprising:

displaying a user interface related to a document scan;

generating scan data regarding a first page and a second page of a document in response to a user input received through the user interface;

displaying, through the user interface, a first scan result including the first page and the second page of the document or a second scan result including one of the first page and the second page of the document based on the scan data; and

automatically selecting between displaying the first scan result and the second scan result based on a predetermined criterion corresponding to whether the first page or the second page of the document is a blank page.
