Abstract
Abstract An image information reading system capable of reading image information of original to be read in each main scanning line a plurality of times within the reading time available for one line thereof in the main scanning direction, storing the read image information in a plurality of memory means, and subjecting all the stored image information for one main scanning line to a predetermined logic processing in synchronization with the final reading of each scanning line read, whereby the image information of each main scanning line is determined.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
An image information reading system comprising: reading means for reading the image information of each information of each line by scanning the image of original a plurality of times within the time available for reading one line in the main scanning direction thereof; memory means for successively storing the image information of each line which is output from said reading means; means for taking out simultaneously the image informationn of each scan so far stored from said memory means, in synchronization with the last scan of said image information by said reading means within said reading time; and logic processing means for receiving thereto the image information obtained by said last scan and said image information taken out simultaneously from said memory and obtaining image information of said one line out of the image information of each scan obtained by said reading means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
An image information reading system comprising: reading means for reading the image information of each information of each line by scanning the image of original a plurality of times within the time available for reading one line in the main scanning direction thereof; memory means for successively storing the image information of each line which is output from said reading means; means for taking out simultaneously the image informationn of each scan so far stored from said memory means, in synchronization with the last scan of said image information by said reading means within said reading time; and logic processing means for receiving thereto the image information obtained by said last scan and said image information taken out simultaneously from said memory and obtaining image information of said one line out of the image information of each scan obtained by said reading means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
An image information reading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reading means is a solid scanning element comprising a photoelectric conversion element for one main scanning line.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
An image information reading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said logic processing means comprises a majority logic circuit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
An image information reading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said logic processing means comprises a majority logic circuit which is weighted in accordance an input to be applied thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An image information reading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said logic processing means comprises a programmable majority logic circuit.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
An image information reading system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reading means constitutes a data transmission section of a facsimile apparatus of the type capable of performing the main scanning and the subscanning simultaneously.
