Abstract
Abstract An image processor is disclosed which displays an image of a document on a display unit by storing image data of said document in a storing unit and providing the image data read from the storing unit to the display unit. The image processor includes a lattice image data memory for storing lattice image data from which a specified set of the lattice image data having a desired lattice pattern may be selected and superimposed on the image data read from the storing unit and provided to the display unit. A second document having the same lattice pattern superimposed on it, may also be simultaneously displayed on the display unit in order to facilitate editing of the documents.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
An image processor for displaying an image of a document on a display unit by storing image data of said document in a storing unit and providing said image data read from said storing unit to said display unit, said image processor comprising: a lattice image data memory for storing lattice image data; and means, electrically coupled to the storing unit and to said lattice image data memory, for superimposing said image data read from said storing unit and said lattice image data read from said lattice image data memory on each other and providing the superimposed image data to said display unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
An image processor for displaying an image of a document on a display unit by storing image data of said document in a storing unit and providing said image data read from said storing unit to said display unit, said image processor comprising: a lattice image data memory for storing lattice image data; and means, electrically coupled to the storing unit and to said lattice image data memory, for superimposing said image data read from said storing unit and said lattice image data read from said lattice image data memory on each other and providing the superimposed image data to said display unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The image processor of claim 1, wherein said lattice image data consists of a plurality of lattice image data whose patterns are different from one another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The image processor of claim 1, wherein said lattice image data consists of a plurality of lattice image data whose intervals are different from one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
127 words
An image processor for displaying an image of a document to be edited on a display unit by storing image data of said document in a storing unit and providing said image data read from said storing unit to said display unit, said image processor comprising: a lattice image data memory for storing lattice image data; means, electrically coupled to the storing unit and to said lattice image data memory, for superimposing said image data read from said storing unit and said lattice image data read from said lattice image data memory on each other and providing the superimposed image data to said display unit; and editing means for designating a section of said document to be edited by specifying specific points of said lattice image data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
127 words
An image processor for displaying an image of a document to be edited on a display unit by storing image data of said document in a storing unit and providing said image data read from said storing unit to said display unit, said image processor comprising: a lattice image data memory for storing lattice image data; means, electrically coupled to the storing unit and to said lattice image data memory, for superimposing said image data read from said storing unit and said lattice image data read from said lattice image data memory on each other and providing the superimposed image data to said display unit; and editing means for designating a section of said document to be edited by specifying specific points of said lattice image data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The image processor of claim 4, wherein said lattice image data consists of a plurality of lattice image data whose patterns are different from one another.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The image processor of claim 4, wherein said lattice image data consists of a plurality of lattice image data whose intervals are different from one another.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The image processor of claim 4, wherein said editing means provides means for selectively deleting the designated section of said document.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
The image processor of claim 4, wherein said superimposing means superimposes said lattice image data on another document to be edited and provides the superimposed image data of both documents to said display unit.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
32 words
The image processor of claim 8, wherein said editing means further provides means for designating sections of said another document to be edited by specifying specific points of said lattice image data.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The image processor of claim 9, wherein said editing means provides means for selectively exchanging the designated sections of said document and said another document.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
29 words
The image processor of claim 9, wherein said editing means provides means for selectively moving the designated section of said document to the designated section of said another document.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
29 words
The image processor of claim 9, wherein said editing means provides means for selectively copying the designated section of said document to the designated section of said another document.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
45 words
The image processor of claim 4, wherein said editing means edits said image data stored in said storing unit by modifying, in a designated manner, a portion of said image data corresponding to the section of said document which is designated by said editing means.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
21 words
The image processor of claim 13, further comprising: printing means for printing the edited image data stored in said storing unit.
