Abstract

Abstract In an image editing apparatus adapted to cut a plurality of regions of any size from a plurality of documents and prepare a new document by sticking the cut regions on a sheet. The cut regions are designated by a light pen of an instruction input section (15) for each document displayed on a CRT display (121). The coordinate information of the cut regions is stored in a RAM in a sticking region computer (16) and the image formation is stored in a first buffer (RAM) (124). A ROM in the sticking region computer stores information relating to a plurality of basic patterns representing the manner of sticking a plurality of cut regions. The coordinates of a plurality of sticking regions are calculated for each basic pattern on the basis of the coordinate data of the cut regions. An image processor (14) causes the image data of the cut regions which are stored in the first buffer (124) to be transferred to memory area of a second buffer (RAM) (125) which is designated by the coordinates of the corresponding sticking regions. The editing of images is carried out for each basic pattern. The "edited" image data stored in the second buffer (125) is displayed on a second CRT display (122).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 200 words
An image editing apparatus comprising: display means (21) for displaying documents to be edited; cut region designating means (15) for designating at least one cut region (C l , C 2 , C 3 ) of one of the documents which is displayed by said display means; first image information storing means (124) for storing the image information of the cut regions of the document which are designated by said cut region designating means; sticking region calculating means (16) for calculating the coordinates of sticking regions (D 1 , D 2 , D 3 ) for the cut regions according to prepared basic sticking patterns on the basis of the coordinate data of the cut regions which are obtained by said cut region designating means and for storing them; second image information storing means (125); means (14) for transferring the image information of the respective cut regions which are stored in said first storing means (124) to a memory area of said second storing means (125) which is designated by the coordinate data of the corresponding sticking regions stored in said sticking region calculating means; and means (12) for visually outputting the image information stored in said second storing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 200 words
An image editing apparatus comprising: display means (21) for displaying documents to be edited; cut region designating means (15) for designating at least one cut region (C l , C 2 , C 3 ) of one of the documents which is displayed by said display means; first image information storing means (124) for storing the image information of the cut regions of the document which are designated by said cut region designating means; sticking region calculating means (16) for calculating the coordinates of sticking regions (D 1 , D 2 , D 3 ) for the cut regions according to prepared basic sticking patterns on the basis of the coordinate data of the cut regions which are obtained by said cut region designating means and for storing them; second image information storing means (125); means (14) for transferring the image information of the respective cut regions which are stored in said first storing means (124) to a memory area of said second storing means (125) which is designated by the coordinate data of the corresponding sticking regions stored in said sticking region calculating means; and means (12) for visually outputting the image information stored in said second storing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
An image editing apparatus according to claim 1, in which said sticking region calculating means (16) calculates the coordinate data of the sticking regions with respect to each of said basic sticking patterns and stores them.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
An image editing apparatus according to claim 1, further including input means (11) for supplying the -image information displayed by said display means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
An image editing apparatus according to claim 4, said input means (11) comprises scanning means (lll) for optically scanning an input document to produce a two- value electrical signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 17 words
