Abstract
Abstract An image data processing apparatus including a scanner (18) for individually reading first and second image information from first and second documents, a page memory (40) for storing the first image information into its first memory area (E), a display device (24) for displaying a first image corresponding to the first image information stored in the first memory area (E) of the page memory (40), a keyboard (23) or a mouse (29) for defining a desired range to be substituted with a second image corresponding to the second image information, in the first image displayed on the display device (24), a CPU (34) for determining a magnifying ratio of the second image suited to the desired range, according to the sizes of the desired range and the second image, an enlargement/reduction circuit (46) for magnifying the second image in response to the magnifying ratio determined by the CPU (34) and the CPU (34) for further processing a storage of the second image information read by the scanner (18) into a second memory area (Ea) corresponding to the desired range in the first memory area (E), according to the magnifying ratio.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
image data processing apparatus comprising reading means (18) for individually reading first and second image information from first and second documents, storage means (40) for storing the image data into a first memory area (E) of the storage means (40) and display means (24) for displaying the image data stored in the storage means (40), characterized in that the apparatus further comprises: means (23, 29) for defining a desired range to be substituted vith a second image corresponding to the second image information, in the first image displayed on the display means (24); means (34) for determining an enlargement or reduction ratio of the second image suited to the desired range, according to the sizes of the desired range and the second image; means (46) for enlarging or reducing the second image in accordance with the said ratio determined by the determining means (34); and means (34) for processing a storage of the second image information read by the reading means (18) into a second memory area (Ea) corresponding to the desired range in the first memory area (E), according to the said ratio.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
image data processing apparatus comprising reading means (18) for individually reading first and second image information from first and second documents, storage means (40) for storing the image data into a first memory area (E) of the storage means (40) and display means (24) for displaying the image data stored in the storage means (40), characterized in that the apparatus further comprises: means (23, 29) for defining a desired range to be substituted vith a second image corresponding to the second image information, in the first image displayed on the display means (24); means (34) for determining an enlargement or reduction ratio of the second image suited to the desired range, according to the sizes of the desired range and the second image; means (46) for enlarging or reducing the second image in accordance with the said ratio determined by the determining means (34); and means (34) for processing a storage of the second image information read by the reading means (18) into a second memory area (Ea) corresponding to the desired range in the first memory area (E), according to the said ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An image data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising image rotation means for rotating the alignment of the second image relative to the first image.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
173 words
A method of processing image information, comprising the steps of: generating image information from at least two documents; storing first image information originated from the first document in a first memory area of a storage means; displaying a first image corresponding to the first image information stored in a first memory area (E) of the storage means (40) on a display means (24); defining a desired range tome substituted with a second image corresponding to a second image information originated from the second document, in the first image displayed on the display means (24) by the displaying step; determining an enlargement or reduction ratio of the second image suited to the desired range, according to the sizes of the desired range and the second image; enlarging or reducing the second image in response to the determined ratio; and processing a storage of the second image information read by the reading step into a second memory area (Ea) corresponding to the desired range in the first memory area (E), according to the said ratio.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
173 words
A method of processing image information, comprising the steps of: generating image information from at least two documents; storing first image information originated from the first document in a first memory area of a storage means; displaying a first image corresponding to the first image information stored in a first memory area (E) of the storage means (40) on a display means (24); defining a desired range tome substituted with a second image corresponding to a second image information originated from the second document, in the first image displayed on the display means (24) by the displaying step; determining an enlargement or reduction ratio of the second image suited to the desired range, according to the sizes of the desired range and the second image; enlarging or reducing the second image in response to the determined ratio; and processing a storage of the second image information read by the reading step into a second memory area (Ea) corresponding to the desired range in the first memory area (E), according to the said ratio.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method according to claim 3, further comprising the step of rotating the alignment of the second image relative to the first image.
