Abstract
Abstract An area setting device for setting coordinates of two points in diagonal direction of one or more number of areas by sequential key operations. Different colors are used for coordinates display (53, 53x, 53y) by each direction, the same colors as coordinates display are used for coordinates input indicator (52). Memorizing means (62, 63) memorize all the points as coordinates input condition or coordinates non-input condition, whereby the key input is accepted to the point of the highest order of all the points of coordinates non-input condition, and converted into memorized condition as the point of coordinates input condition. Then key input acceptance and memory state conversion are repeated for coordinates input of the points required.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
An area setting device to set the coordinates of two points in diagonal direction in one or more number of areas to be set by operating the keys in sequence comprising: (a) memorizing means (61, 63) to selectively memorize coordinate input condition and coordinate non-input condition corresponding to each point which can be set, (b) first memory control means (66) to memorize the point of the first order among the points of all areas of which coordinate input condition is memorized at the end of coordinate input as coordinate non-input state, (c) coordinate input control means (62) to accept only the key input to the point of the highest order among the points memorized as coordinate non-input state, (d) judging means (65) to judge that the point of the next order to the point memorized as coordinate non-input state as coordinate input state, and (e) second memory control means (67) to memorize a specific point as coordinate input state when the coordinate input of the point memorized as coordinate non-input state is made by using the judge signal from the judging means as the input, or when it is determined that no more coordinate input of said point is made, and also to memorize the point of the next order as coordinate non-input state.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
214 words
An area setting device to set the coordinates of two points in diagonal direction in one or more number of areas to be set by operating the keys in sequence comprising: (a) memorizing means (61, 63) to selectively memorize coordinate input condition and coordinate non-input condition corresponding to each point which can be set, (b) first memory control means (66) to memorize the point of the first order among the points of all areas of which coordinate input condition is memorized at the end of coordinate input as coordinate non-input state, (c) coordinate input control means (62) to accept only the key input to the point of the highest order among the points memorized as coordinate non-input state, (d) judging means (65) to judge that the point of the next order to the point memorized as coordinate non-input state as coordinate input state, and (e) second memory control means (67) to memorize a specific point as coordinate input state when the coordinate input of the point memorized as coordinate non-input state is made by using the judge signal from the judging means as the input, or when it is determined that no more coordinate input of said point is made, and also to memorize the point of the next order as coordinate non-input state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
An area setting device according to claim 1, further comprising a transparent member (72) to be set on the document, an area of which is to be set, and with coordinate displays in the directions crossing each other at right angles marked at the specific position on the transparent member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
An area setting device according to claim 2, further comprising an operation panel (5) for setting input of image forming conditions, coordinate input position indicators (52) corresponding to each direction and coordinate value indicators (53) corresponding to each direction at the specific positions on the operation panel.
