Abstract

Abstract The image data processing apparatus includes a position adjusting means for adjusting a paste-in position in pasting a secondary image in a primary image, an image data editing means for editing the image of a third image resulted by the pasting of the secondary image in the primary image, an image data compressing means for compressing the image data through a block encoding, an optimal value detecting means for detecting an optimal value of the compressed image data by absolutely or relatively determining an amount of the compressed data compressed by the image data compressing means, and means for automatically adjusting the paste-in position within a given space around the paste-in position so as that the amount of the compressed data becomes a minimum.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 119 words
An image data processing apparatus, comprising: position adjusting means for adjusting an initial paste-in position in pasting a secondary image in a primary image; image data editing means for editing a third image resulting from pasting the secondary image in the primary image; image data compressing means for compressing image data of said third image through block encoding: optimal value detecting means for detecting an optimal value of the compressed image data by absolutely or relatively determining an amount of the compressed data produced by the image data compressing means; and means for automatically adjusting a paste-in position within a given space around the initial paste-in position so as that the amount of the compressed data becomes a minimum.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 119 words
An image data processing apparatus, comprising: position adjusting means for adjusting an initial paste-in position in pasting a secondary image in a primary image; image data editing means for editing a third image resulting from pasting the secondary image in the primary image; image data compressing means for compressing image data of said third image through block encoding: optimal value detecting means for detecting an optimal value of the compressed image data by absolutely or relatively determining an amount of the compressed data produced by the image data compressing means; and means for automatically adjusting a paste-in position within a given space around the initial paste-in position so as that the amount of the compressed data becomes a minimum.
