Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus which can read an image of an original, and display the read image on a display and/or record the read image on a recording medium. The image processing apparatus comprises display means for displaying an image, an original inlet provided in the vicinity of one end of a display surface of the display means, an original outlet provided in the vicinity of the other end of the display surface of the display means, an original feeding path arranged behind the display means and adapted to guide an original introduced into the original inlet to the original outlet, and reading means for reading the original being fed along the original feeding path and for emitting an image signal on the basis of which the image of the original is displayed on the display surface of the display means.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: first input means for inputting image information from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; second input means for inputting image information from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; composing means for composing the image information for one line inputted from said first input means and the image formation for one line inputted from said second input means to output image information for one composed line; and processing means for compressing the image information composed by said composing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: first input means for inputting image information from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; second input means for inputting image information from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; composing means for composing the image information for one line inputted from said first input means and the image formation for one line inputted from said second input means to output image information for one composed line; and processing means for compressing the image information composed by said composing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising memory controlling means for storing the image information compressed by said processing means in a memory medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each of said first and second input means has a line sensor for reading the image information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
69 words
An image processing method, comprising the steps of: inputting image information from a front surface of an original and image information from a rear surface of the original, respectively, line-by-line; composing the image information for one line from the front surface and the image information for one line from the rear surface, and outputting image information for one composed line; and compressing the composed image information for one line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
An image processing method, comprising the steps of: inputting image information from a front surface of an original and image information from a rear surface of the original, respectively, line-by-line; composing the image information for one line from the front surface and the image information for one line from the rear surface, and outputting image information for one composed line; and compressing the composed image information for one line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
An image processing apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising the step of storing the image information which was compressed into a memory medium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
200 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first reading unit for reading an image from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; a second reading unit for reading an image from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; a first composing means for serially composing the image information for one line read by said first reading unit and the image formation for one line read by said second reading unit; digital image processing means for digitally processing the image information composed at said first composing means; separating means for separating the image information processed by said digital processing means into image information for the front surface and image information for the rear surface of the original; a delay circuit for delaying one of the image information for the front surface or the image information for the rear surface which are separated by said separating means; second composing means for composing (1) the image information separated by said separating means and not delayed by said delay circuit, and (2) the image information separated by said separating means and delayed by said delay circuit, into image information for one line; compressing means for compressing the image information composed by said second composing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
200 words
An image processing apparatus, comprising: a first reading unit for reading an image from a front surface of an original, line-by-line; a second reading unit for reading an image from a rear surface of the original, line-by-line; a first composing means for serially composing the image information for one line read by said first reading unit and the image formation for one line read by said second reading unit; digital image processing means for digitally processing the image information composed at said first composing means; separating means for separating the image information processed by said digital processing means into image information for the front surface and image information for the rear surface of the original; a delay circuit for delaying one of the image information for the front surface or the image information for the rear surface which are separated by said separating means; second composing means for composing (1) the image information separated by said separating means and not delayed by said delay circuit, and (2) the image information separated by said separating means and delayed by said delay circuit, into image information for one line; compressing means for compressing the image information composed by said second composing means.
