Abstract
Abstract A system comprises a form of a predetermined format having an area for the facial image, an area for a monochrome image constituting a part of the ID information and an area for a character image constituting the other part of the ID information, image reader for reading the image on the form to output image signals from the areas, processing units for processing the image signals from the areas output from the image reader to fit the recording format, and a recorder responsive to image signals processed by the processing units for recording the facial image, the monochrome image and the character image.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A system for recording an image having a facial image and ID information in a predetermined recording format, comprising: a form having a format which includes an area for the facial image, an area for a monochrome image constituting a part of the ID information, an area for a character image constituting the other part of the ID information, reference marks for specifying reference coordinates of at least two of said facial image area, said monochrome image area, and said character image area and identification marks for identifying the format; image reading means for reading the images on the form to output image signals from said areas; processing means for identifying the format of said form based on said identification marks, and for processing the image signals of said areas output from said image reading means to fit said recording format, in according with the specified reference coordinates and the identified format of said form; and recording means, responsive to image signals processed by said processing means, for recording the facial image, the monochrome image and the character image.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
179 words
A system for recording an image having a facial image and ID information in a predetermined recording format, comprising: a form having a format which includes an area for the facial image, an area for a monochrome image constituting a part of the ID information, an area for a character image constituting the other part of the ID information, reference marks for specifying reference coordinates of at least two of said facial image area, said monochrome image area, and said character image area and identification marks for identifying the format; image reading means for reading the images on the form to output image signals from said areas; processing means for identifying the format of said form based on said identification marks, and for processing the image signals of said areas output from said image reading means to fit said recording format, in according with the specified reference coordinates and the identified format of said form; and recording means, responsive to image signals processed by said processing means, for recording the facial image, the monochrome image and the character image.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
123 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said image reading means is arranged to read the image on said form while changing read coordinates sequentially and said reference mark, and said processing means comprises mark detecting means for detecting a signal from said reference mark by said image signal output from said image reading means, means for obtaining said read coordinates based on said reference coordinates provided by the detected signal from said reference mark, means responsive to the obtained read coordinates and identification information on the format of said form for generating frame signals indicating respective frames of said areas, and means for separating an image signal output from said image reading means into signals from said area using said frame signals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
90 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said mark detecting means comprises means for generating frame signals indicating frames encompassing said reference marks using said identification information, means for cutting out image signals from areas encompassed by said frames from the image signal output from said image reading means by use of the frame signals, and means, having a window set for the cut out image signals, for detecting said reference marks by examining whether or not the image signals contained in said window are all at a significant level.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said processing means includes means for laying out each of the image signals from said areas output from said image reading means to fit the recording format in said recording means.
