Claim 6

The system according to claim 3, wherein the information of said color mode indicates at least monochrome binary or multi-valued data.

Claim 7

An image processing system for reading an image and transmitting the image to a destination system, said image processing system comprising: reading means for reading a plurality of original color images; memory means for storing image information read by said reading means; display means for successively displaying images in accordance with the image information stored in said memory means; pointing means for pointing to an arbitrary position on said display means; cut out means for cutting out a desired region of each image displayed on said display means by demarcating the region with said pointing means; designation means for designating a desired output position of the desired region; transmission means for transmitting information; and control means for controlling said image processing system to transmit image information within the cut out region of each image together with attribute information, which includes the designated output position, size and color mode of each image, as partial images to be combined into one image in the system.

Claim 8

An image processing system for reading an image and transmitting the image to a destination system, said image processing system comprising: reading means for reading a plurality of original color images; memory means for storing image information read by said reading means; display means for successively displaying images in accordance with the image information stored in said memory means; pointing means for pointing to an arbitrary position on said display means; cut out means for cutting out a desired region of each image displayed on said display means by demarcating the region with said pointing means; designation means for designating a desired output position of the desired region; transmission means for transmitting information; and control means for controlling said image processing system to transmit image information within the cut out region of each image together with attribute information, which includes the designated output position, size and color mode of each image, as partial images to be combined into one image in the system.

Claim 9

An image processing system according to claim 5, further comprising: display control means for controlling said display means to reduce the image so that the whole of one of the original images stored in said memory means is displayed at one time.

Claim 10

An image processing system according to claim 5, wherein said display means includes: at least two display image memories; and second control means for controlling said image processing system to display a composite image of contents in said two image memories or the contents of one of said two image memories.

Claim 11

An image processing system according to claim 7, wherein original images stored in said memory means are transferred to a first display image memory of said display means, and further comprising editing means to transfer the partial images designated by said designation means to positions in a second display image memory such that the partial images are displayed at the positions designated by said designation means.

Claim 12

An image processing system according to claim 8, wherein said second control means operates to display the images stored in said second display image memory as desired in order to confirm the combined state of the images output at the transmission destination.
