Abstract
Abstract A first location and a last location of the required part of a first piece of picture information displayed at a display part are specified by cursors. Cleared data is transferred to a picture element memory where said picture information is stored for removing unnecessary picture information. The extracted necessary picture information is recorded in a magnetic tape device. Only the necessary part of a second piece of picture information is extracted in a similar manner and is recorded in the magnetic tape device. A logic sum of a title input from the keyboard and said first piece of picture information is obtained for each scanning line to provide a first synthesized picture. A logic sum of the first synthesized picture and said second piece of picture information is obtained for each line to provide a second synthesized picture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A method for synthesizing picture information in a picture information filing system comprising a nonvolatile device for recording a number of pictures corresponding to picture information, inputting means for inputting the picture information, a picture element memory for storing the picture information, and a display section for displaying the picture information thereon, comprising the steps of: (a) causing picture information of one page recorded in the nonvolatile device to be displayed on the display section; (b) designating a predetermined area of the picture information displayed on the display section; (c) extracting the picture information of only the designated predetermined area; (d) designating the position to which the picture information of the predetermined area is to be shifted; (e) transferring the extracted picture information to an area corresponding to the designated position and storing the transferred picture information in the picture element memory; (f) recording the transferred picture information in the nonvolatile device; (g) repeating the steps (a) to (e) with respect to another page of picture information; and (h) obtaining a logic sum of the picture information recorded in the nonvolatile device in the step (f) and the picture information stored in the picture element memory and storing the logic sum in the picture element memory.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
206 words
A method for synthesizing picture information in a picture information filing system comprising a nonvolatile device for recording a number of pictures corresponding to picture information, inputting means for inputting the picture information, a picture element memory for storing the picture information, and a display section for displaying the picture information thereon, comprising the steps of: (a) causing picture information of one page recorded in the nonvolatile device to be displayed on the display section; (b) designating a predetermined area of the picture information displayed on the display section; (c) extracting the picture information of only the designated predetermined area; (d) designating the position to which the picture information of the predetermined area is to be shifted; (e) transferring the extracted picture information to an area corresponding to the designated position and storing the transferred picture information in the picture element memory; (f) recording the transferred picture information in the nonvolatile device; (g) repeating the steps (a) to (e) with respect to another page of picture information; and (h) obtaining a logic sum of the picture information recorded in the nonvolatile device in the step (f) and the picture information stored in the picture element memory and storing the logic sum in the picture element memory.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
65 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein: said inputting means and said system also inputs character code information; and said method further comprises the step of obtaining a logic sum of the picture information stored in the picture element memory in the step (h) and the character code information input from the inputting means and then storing the logic sum in the picture element memory.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
224 words
