From the image decompression data of Electrofax 2, be stored in the frame memory 16 and and show have again at display panel 3, be read into CPU13 via frame memory with register 20 and high-speed bus 10, be compressed by compression/decompression circuit 17 and RAM15 etc.This image compression data is written to data transmit-receive FIFO storer 18 via peripheral bus 12 and data transmit-receive with register 22, and is sent to host apparatus 4 in order.On the other hand, the image compression data that data transmit-receive receives from host apparatus 4 with FIFO storer 18, this image compression data with register 22 and peripheral bus 12, is read into CPU13 via data transmit-receive in order, is extracted by compression/decompression circuit 17 and RAM15 etc.These image decompression data are stored in frame memory 16 with register 20 and show in display panel 3 via high-speed bus 10 and frame memory.
At this, high-speed bus 10 is worked under the high frequency of for example 75MHz, and the image decompression data are read into CPU13 at a high speed from frame memory 16, and, be written to frame memory 16 at a high speed from CPU13.Have again, because frame memory 16 is connected the identical bus of RAM15 with the workspace that is used as computing etc., so in a series of computing, can eliminate as switch adding (overhead) time of the dead time that produces because of bus.Like this, CPU works effectively in the transmission of the more image decompression data of data volume, helps the high speed of whole Flame Image Process.Have again, because the data transmission between CPU13 and the compression/decompression circuit 17 is also via high-speed bus 10, so the whole further high speed of Flame Image Process.On the other hand, peripheral bus 12 is for example being worked under the 25MHz frequency, thus image compression data to data transmitting-receivings writing or be comparison low speed with FIFO storer 18 to reading of CPU13.But this image compression data is for example 1/10 and even 1/100 and data volume is fewer of image decompression data, so general image processing speed and less descending.
Like this, this image processing apparatus 1, the frame memory 16 relative higher high-speed buses 10 with processing power that data volume is many connect, and the data transmit-receive that data volume is fewer connects with the relative low peripheral bus 12 with processing power of FIFO storer 18, so CPU13 is worked efficiently, can realize the high speed of Flame Image Process on the whole.In addition, data transmit-receive is connected with peripheral bus 12 with FIFO storer 18, this is because if the functional circuit that is connected with high-speed bus 10 is too much, then the load capacity of high-speed bus 10 becomes big, corresponding to the reason of this frequency that can work decline.
Have again, in this image processing apparatus 1, compression/decompression circuit 17 is connected with high-speed bus 10, but under the situation of the less compression/decompression circuit 17 of the read/write of using CPU13, also this compression/decompression circuit 17 can be connected with peripheral bus 12.
Then, based on Fig. 2 the image processing apparatus that other preferred implementations of the present invention relate to is described.This image processing apparatus 5 has adopted following bus structure, and these bus structure have: the instruction (instruction) that directly connects CPU23 and ROM14 is with the direct connecting bus 24 of CPU; The data that directly connect CPU23 and RAM15 are with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU; With above-mentioned high-speed bus 10.For example, the instruction of the disposal system of ARM system is with TCM (Tightly Coupled Memory) bus, the TCM bus that data are used, AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) bus be equivalent to respectively instruction with the direct connecting bus 24 of CPU, data with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, high-speed bus 10.In addition, can have above-mentioned peripheral bus 12 (not shown) as required.
With the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, also connect above-mentioned frame memory 16 and compression/decompression circuit 17 in data.Have again,, connect above-mentioned data transmit-receive FIFO storer 18 and timer circuit 19 etc. at high-speed bus 10.Have again, image processing apparatus 5, same with image processing apparatus 1, comprise above-mentioned frame memory register 20 and compression/decompression circuit register 21 and data transmit-receive register 22.
Instruction with the direct connecting bus 24 of CPU and data with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, the action of in for example 1 cycle of the elemental motion clock of CPU23, reading in or writing.On the other hand, high-speed bus 10, the action of in 5~10 cycles for example, reading in or writing.Thereby image processing apparatus 5 is compared with image processing apparatus 1, and these image decompression data are read into CPU23 more at high speed from frame memory 16, and are written to frame memory 16 more at high speed from CPU23.
Like this, this image processing apparatus 5, the frame memory 16 that data volume is many is connected the high relatively data of processing power with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, the data transmit-receive that data volume is less is connected the low relatively high-speed bus of processing power 10 with FIFO storer 18, so can realize the further high speed that general image is handled.In addition, data transmit-receive is connected high-speed bus 10 with FIFO storer 18, and this is because frame memory 16 moves to data with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, so the load capacity of high-speed bus 10 also less becomes big reason.
In addition, in this image processing apparatus 5, compression/decompression circuit 17 is connected data with the direct connecting bus 25 of CPU, still under the situation of the less compression/decompression circuit 17 of the read/write of using CPU23, also this compression/decompression circuit 17 can be connected with high-speed bus 10.
More than, the image processing apparatus that relates to for embodiments of the present invention is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to embodiment, can carry out various design alterations in the scope of the item of being put down in writing within the scope of the claims.For example, in the e-machine that uses image processing apparatus 1,5, do not have under the situation of Electrofax 2, also can omit the function that will be kept at from the image decompression data of Electrofax 2 in the frame memory 16, have again, according to circumstances, also general purpose timer circuit 19 can be do not comprised, in addition, other necessary function circuit can certainly be comprised.
