Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
293 words
A picture producing apparatus comprising: a first central processing unit for receiving an information which is transmitted and comprises a series of packs of information, for arranging each pack into a predetermined format, and for performing an error detection and an error correction with respect to each pack to obtain a picture information and writing the picture information into a first memory; a second central processing unit for decoding control data of the picture information stored in said first memory and writing picture data of the picture information into a second memory; picture data read-out means for successively reading out the picture data stored in said second memory; timing generator means for producing clock signals for said first and second central processing units and said picture data read-out means, said clock signals being representative of first and second operation time periods which are mutually exclusive; selector means responsive to the clock signal for coupling said first central processing unit to said first memory and coupling said picture data read-out means to said second memory exclusively in the first operation time period and for coupling said second central processing unit to said first and second memories exclusively in the second operation time period so that said second central processing unit performs the decoding and writing with respect to a first pack of said series of pack while said first central processing unit performs the error detection and the error correction with respect to a second pack following said first pack and receives and arranges a third pack following said second pack; color converting means for converting the picture data read out by said picture data read-out menas into color data; and digital-to-analog converter means for converting the color data into an analog video signal.

A picture producing apparatus comprising: a first central processing unit for receiving an information which is transmitted and comprises a series of packs of information, for arranging each pack into a predetermined format, and for performing an error detection and an error correction with respect to each pack to obtain a picture information and writing the picture information into a first memory; a second central processing unit for decoding control data of the picture information stored in said first memory and writing picture data of the picture information into a second memory; picture data read-out means for successively reading out the picture data stored in said second memory; timing generator means for producing clock signals for said first and second central processing units and said picture data read-out means, said clock signals being representative of first and second operation time periods which are mutually exclusive; selector means responsive to the clock signal for coupling said first central processing unit to said first memory and coupling said picture data read-out means to said second memory exclusively in the first operation time period and for coupling said second central processing unit to said first and second memories exclusively in the second operation time period so that said second central processing unit performs the decoding and writing with respect to a first pack of said series of pack while said first central processing unit performs the error detection and the error correction with respect to a second pack following said first pack and receives and arranges a third pack following said second pack; color converting means for converting the picture data read out by said picture data read-out menas into color data; and digital-to-analog converter means for converting the color data into an analog video signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said timing generator means comprises an oscillator, a freuqency divider for frequency-dividing an output signal of said oscillator, and a phase shifter for shifting the phase of an output signal of said frequency divider.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 2 in which said frequency divider and said phase shifter are constituted by a plurality of flip-flops.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
110 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said picture data read-out means comprises latch circuit means for latching horizontal and vertical position data from said second central processing unit, a horizontal counter for loading the horizontal position data from said latch circuit means for every one horizontal scanning period and for counting the clcok signal from said timing generator means, a vertical counter for loading the vertical position data from said latch circuit means for every one vertical scanning period, and an operation circuit for producing an address of said second memory by performing a predetermined calculation on counted values in said horizontal and vertical counters.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 4 in which said operation circuit comprises a multiplier for multiplying a maximum counted value in said horizontal counter to the counted value in said vertical counter, and an adder for adding the counted value in said horizontal counter to an output value of said multiplier.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
102 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 in which said color converting means comprises picture data output means for successively outputting for every dot the picture data which amount to four dots and are read out from said second memory in parallel, latch means for holding picture data of a border color, switching means for switching and outputting the picture data from said picture data output means and the picture data of the border color, and color look up table means to which an access is made by the picture data from said switching means for producing the color data.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A picture producing apparatus as claimed in claim 7 in which said picture data output means comprises variable length shift register means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
