Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
An image recording apparatus, comprising: means for recording an image; means for setting a linear magnification mode of said apparatus; and means for controlling said recording means in accordance with said setting means so that parts of an image may be recorded in one recorded image at gradually varying magnification ratios, respectively.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
An image recording apparatus, comprising: means for recording an image; means for setting a linear magnification mode of said apparatus; and means for controlling said recording means in accordance with said setting means so that parts of an image may be recorded in one recorded image at gradually varying magnification ratios, respectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said recording means records an original image, and said control means controls said recording means in accordance with said setting means so that one part of said original image may be enlarged/reproduced at each of gradually varying magnification ratios and so that images reproduced at the gradually varying magnification ratios may be formed in one recorded image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said recording means records an original image, and said control means controls said recording means in accordance with said setting means so that respective parts of said original image may be enlarged/reduced at gradually varying magnification ratios, respectively, and so that images reproduced at the ratios may be formed in one recorded image.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said gradually varying magnification ratios are stepwisely changed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said gradually varying magnification ratios are changed for each designated area.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein siad gradually varying magnification ratios are determined on the basis of a size of an original and a size of a reproduced image.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
54 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: means for reproducing an original image; means for designating a plurality of parts of an area in an original image; and means for controlling said reproducing means so that each of the parts designated by said designating means may be reproduced in one image at respectively different magnification ratios.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
54 words
An image reproducing apparatus, comprising: means for reproducing an original image; means for designating a plurality of parts of an area in an original image; and means for controlling said reproducing means so that each of the parts designated by said designating means may be reproduced in one image at respectively different magnification ratios.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said magnification ratios are changed for each designated area.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
32 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 7, further comprising another means for setting a predetermined magnification mode to enlarge and/or reduce an original image at a predetermined magnification ratio.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 7, further comprising means for shifting a designated part of an image.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
21 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 7, further comprising means for deleting a designated part of an image.
