Abstract

Abstract An information processing apparatus for accumulating image information consisting of n pixels and effecting the processing of output of the information is provided with a plurality of memory devices, a distributing device and an output control device. The information is stored in the plurality of memory devices. By the distributing device, the image information consisting of the n pixels are divided into m pixel unit basis (n > m), and the information consisting of the m pixels into a p (m > p) pixel unit basis, and the plurality of information each consisting of the p pixels are distributed to the plurality of memory devices. Upon the output of the image information, the information stored in the plurality of memory devices are selectively outputted by the output control device.
