Abstract
Abstract A data processing apparatus includes a controller for controlling an image information storage memory. The controller controls the storage memory so that received image information is stored in the image information storage memory as scanning line address information and display information, with the scanning line address information designating scanning lines of a display device which accesses different areas in the image information storage memory. The controller also controls the storage memory so that the scanning line address information and the display information stored in different areas are serially transferred to a drive control in the display device, and so that the scanning address information which is transferred to the drive control accesses the designated scanning lines only. In addition, the image information storage memory is controlled so that a partial rewriting, which scans only scanning lines of the display device corresponding to a rewriting area formed by a partial rewriting of image information stored in the image information storage memory, is executed in a non-interlace scanning and where the rewriting area does not exist, the image information rewriting is executed in an interlace scanning.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A data processing apparatus, comprising: first means for controlling an image information storage memory so that a received image information is stored in the image information storage memory as scanning line address information and display information, the scanning line address information designating scanning lines of a display device which accesses different areas in the image information storage memory; second means for controlling the image information storage memory so that the scanning line address information and the display information stored in different areas are serially transferred to drive control means in the display device; third means for controlling the image information storage memory so that the scanning line address information which is transferred to the drive control means in the display device accesses the designated scanning lines only; and fourth means for controlling the storage memory so that a partial rewriting, which scans only scanning lines of the display device corresponding to a rewriting area formed by a partial rewriting of image information stored in the image information storage memory, is executed in a non-interlace scanning and when the rewriting area does not exist, image information rewriting is executed in an interlace scanning.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A data processing apparatus, comprising: first means for controlling an image information storage memory so that a received image information is stored in the image information storage memory as scanning line address information and display information, the scanning line address information designating scanning lines of a display device which accesses different areas in the image information storage memory; second means for controlling the image information storage memory so that the scanning line address information and the display information stored in different areas are serially transferred to drive control means in the display device; third means for controlling the image information storage memory so that the scanning line address information which is transferred to the drive control means in the display device accesses the designated scanning lines only; and fourth means for controlling the storage memory so that a partial rewriting, which scans only scanning lines of the display device corresponding to a rewriting area formed by a partial rewriting of image information stored in the image information storage memory, is executed in a non-interlace scanning and when the rewriting area does not exist, image information rewriting is executed in an interlace scanning.
