Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a paint processing system in use with an image processing apparatus which converts separated color signals, which are produced by reading an original document, into record signals of developing colors, selects a record signal from among those record signals in each developing cycle and records and reproduces an image of the original document, and is capable to paint out a closed area in an original document by a specific pattern or color.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A paint processing method in an image processing apparatus having a plane memory means for converting color separation signals obtained by reading an original document into record signals for developing colors, respectively, selecting a record signal from the record signals in each developing cycle to record and reproduce an image of the original document, and painting a closed area on the original document with a specific pattern or color, said paint processing method comprising the steps of: storing in said plane memory, binary image data of the original document, which is obtained by prescanning the original document; first painting a closed area of the original document from a start point within said closed area, said start point being designated with reference to said binary image data; second painting an area outside of said painted closed area; and third painting an area inside of said patined outside area with either a specific pattern or color.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A paint processing method in an image processing apparatus having a plane memory means for converting color separation signals obtained by reading an original document into record signals for developing colors, respectively, selecting a record signal from the record signals in each developing cycle to record and reproduce an image of the original document, and painting a closed area on the original document with a specific pattern or color, said paint processing method comprising the steps of: storing in said plane memory, binary image data of the original document, which is obtained by prescanning the original document; first painting a closed area of the original document from a start point within said closed area, said start point being designated with reference to said binary image data; second painting an area outside of said painted closed area; and third painting an area inside of said patined outside area with either a specific pattern or color.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
The paint processing method as defined in claim 1 wherein said memory means comprises a plurality of plane memories, the outside area of said painted closed area being drawn in a plane memory for work, and an area command for painting with either a specific pattern or color being set in another plane memory for drawing with reference to the outside painted area drawn in said plane memory for work.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The paint processing method as defined in claim 2 wherein said memory means comprises a plurality of plane memories for drawing and an area command is set for each area in said plural plane memories.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The paint processing method as defined in claim 2 wherein said memory means comprises two plane memories for first and second plane memories.
