Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an image processing device that reads an image and performs predetermined processing.

PRIOR TECHNOLOGY Conventionally, documents used for administrative processing, etc. are checked and stored in the process from generation to storage, and copies of the documents or multiple documents created at the same time are checked and stored for each necessary (related) department. was carrying out. However, in recent years, rationalization of office work and office automation have been avoided, and with the arrival of the era of repapers, the above-mentioned processing operations must be improved.

However, completely abolishing paper from office processing will have a negative impact on conventional business execution, which will push up office processing costs and go against the original objective of streamlining office work.

In addition, various types of OA are required when improving the administrative processing operations mentioned above.
(office automation) equipment has been proposed,
As an OA device that processes the aforementioned slips, there is an electronic file device that includes a large capacity memory such as a magnetic disk or an optical disk, and a reader unit that reads the slips.

However, this device requires a large physical space, and although the reader section for reading image information and the memory section for storing the two image information are electrically connected, they are physically different units. There was also the drawback that In addition, when data is stored as image information, if there are many steps before it is finally stored, the accuracy deteriorates and the data becomes expensive. A small and compact image information reading, segmentation, and mobile device that eliminates the traditional drawbacks.

This is an example in which /'4:1/'4 is specified. FIG. 2-4 shows a case where the image is divided into 16 parts along dotted lines to express the arbitrariness of the division.

Although up to 16 divisions have been described in this embodiment, further division is possible, any format can be selected, and there are no restrictions on the information source.

Figure 2-5 shows the arrangement of the COD type two-dimensional image sensor 5 (caD), which is a group of photoelectric conversion elements described later, in each area of the image divided into 16 as shown in Figure 2-4. Monode 5

5-2, @-・5-16 is 5-1°5-2. in Figure 2-5. ...It is the same as the CCD of 5-16. 0 In addition, the CCD with and refers to the line COD. 0 Other output amplifiers 6. AND gate 7, synchronous circuit 8 and AND gate 12 each correspond to a C corresponding to the 16 divided image area.
CD 5-1.5-2. ... 1, 2 in the sense of processing the image information from 5-16. ...I added the number 16. Also, each CCD 5-1.5-2.

... Since the operations of 5-16 are the same, Figure 3 will be explained below focusing on the operation of one GCD. When the 0 CCD 5 operates and image information is output from the 0 CD 5, the output amplifier 6 outputs the output of the CCD 5. Amplify. The AND gate 7 ANDs the synchronous circuit 8 and the output of the output amplifier B. The synchronization circuit 8 is a synchronization circuit that synchronizes a signal from the detector 9, which will be described later, with the read timing of the C; GD5. The decoder 9 is a decoder that decodes control information from a control information input means 10, which will be described later. Reference numeral 10 denotes control information input means consisting of keys, dial switches, and the like. Note that 10 is the same as the control information input means 6 in FIG. Reference numeral 11 denotes a selector which determines whether or not to inhibit information from the CCD 5 based on the information provided by the control information input means 10, and which also controls an address instruction to an address control section 15, which will be described later. 12 is an AND gate that ANDs the selector 11 and the output of the AND gate 7; 16 is an OR gate that turns off the outputs of the 16 AND gates 12; 014 is the OR gate that ANDs the output of the AND gate 7;

Reference numeral 6 denotes an output unit, such as a CRT, for outputting the image information stored in the memory 14.

The operation will be explained in Section 2-2 using the circuit embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.
A case in which the Emj image area is divided into two as shown in the figure will be explained in detail as an example.

For example, when operator A wants to record the upper half of an arbitrary image information source, he turns on the control information input means 10 to record the upper half.

In this embodiment, the image is divided into 16 parts at most, and a number is assigned to each part. In the case of Figure 2-2, if you input numbers 1 to 8, the upper half of the two divisions becomes inputtable. - 4th row from top left to right 1 to 4. 2nd row 5 from left to right
~8. The sixth row is numbered 9 to 12, and the last row is numbered 13 to 16 from the left, and by giving discretion to the combinations, a combination suitable for the user's business can be selected. In the case of two divisions, the control +W'4 input means 10 sends the decoder 9. When the blocking information is input to the selector 11, the decoder 9 outputs each selected element 51.5-2. -...C of 5-8
The OD operates, and outputs the image I#@ through the gate 1 of 7 in synchronization with the output pulse from the circuit 8, which is ANDed with the output of the selector 11 by the gate 1 of 12, and then outputs it to the memory 14.
However, the location is a redundant memory space from the selector 11 via the address control unit 15.

Thereafter, when the lower image information divided into two is input, it is stored in the memory 14 via each circuit, as described above. That is, by inputting the image information twice, composite image information can be obtained on the memory 14. Note that the memory 14
The output means 16CRi' may be displayed, or the output may be output as an IJ print using a printer or the like.
.

...COD group 5-16 is COD5-1σ in Figure 6)
Such a large number of lines is not necessary; at least one line may be prepared for each area of the screen, and each area may be scanned.

Effects As explained above, this invention makes it possible to provide an extremely compact and compact image processing device. or,
It is possible to input only the necessary parts of any information source and combine multiple information sources into one unified piece of information, so it can be used for a wide range of purposes.For example, a map of the vicinity of the delivery destination can be added to a bill that only contains the product name and delivery address. This can be done by simple operations such as compositing or compositing photos of the musical pieces.

Note that it also has a function to serve as an input device for an information processing device by outputting the image information recorded in the memory 14 as data as it is.
