Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A print simulation apparatus connected to a color scanner having pickup means for obtaining image signals of a color original, color separation means for color-separating the image signals obtained by said pickup means into color component signals, color process means for adjusting the color separation conditions of the color component signals separated by the color separation means, and means for forming a color separation plate based on the adjusted color component signals, said apparatus comprising: first memory means for receiving and storing the image signals output from said pickup means; means for reading out the image signals from said first memory means and for supplying the read-out image signals to said color separation means; second memory means for storing the image signals output from said color separation means; and display means for displaying the image signals stored in said second memory means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A print simulation apparatus connected to a color scanner having pickup means for obtaining image signals of a color original, color separation means for color-separating the image signals obtained by said pickup means into color component signals, color process means for adjusting the color separation conditions of the color component signals separated by the color separation means, and means for forming a color separation plate based on the adjusted color component signals, said apparatus comprising: first memory means for receiving and storing the image signals output from said pickup means; means for reading out the image signals from said first memory means and for supplying the read-out image signals to said color separation means; second memory means for storing the image signals output from said color separation means; and display means for displaying the image signals stored in said second memory means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the image signals are written into said first memory means at a speed corresponding to an operation speed of said pickup means, the image signals are written into said second memory means at a speed corresponding to an operation speed of said color separation means, and the image signals are read out said second memory means at a speed corresponding to an operation speed of said display means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
An apparatus to claim 1, wherein said first memory means stores B, G, and R color signals, and said second memory means stores Y, M, C and K color signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: data latch means for latching a signal of a predetermined pixel of the image signals output from said color separation means; and means for synthesizing the signal read out from said data latch means in the image signals output from said color separation means at a position corresponding to the predetermined pixel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said second memory means comprises: a frame memory for storing image signals for two frames; and synthesizing means for combining portions of image signals for the two frames read out from said frame memory so as to generate image signals for one frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
An apparatus according to claim 5 wherein said synthesizing means comprises: means for displaying the corresponding halves of the image signals for the two frames read out from said frame memory on respective half portions of the screen; and means for scrolling the image signals displayed on the respective half portions of the screen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
67 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising: comparison means for determining whether or not a level of each pixel of the image signals output from said color correction means is higher than a predetermined highlight set level; and means for causing a display of the pixel having a level higher than the highlight set level to flash in accordance with the output from said comparison means.
