Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain beautiful synthesis processing momentarily on a copying machine by saving tentatively an input data from plural printed matters or the like to a storage section, indicating an accommodated position with a layout display section on the copying machine, calculating the reduction rate in an arithmetic section and applying synthesis processing. CONSTITUTION:A storage section 2 stores a data from an input section 1 to a buffer or the like. A layout display section 3 not only displays the current layout on a liquid crystal screen but also indicates to which part of a final output form the data in the storage section 2 is to be accommodated. An arithmetic section 4 introduces a reduction rate how much the data from the input section 1 is to be reduced to the accommodated location indicated by the layout display section 3. A synthesis section 5 reduces the plural data inputted from the input section 1 according to the reduction rate calculated from the arithmetic section 4 and applies synthesis processing. An output section 6 outputs a final data processed by the synthesis section 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates particularly to the field of information processing and the like, and particularly to the compositing function of an electrophotographic copying apparatus.

[Conventional technology]

In the field of information processing systems, it is difficult to combine printed materials on Xerox, and conventionally, in order to perform such processing, it is necessary to make sure that the printed materials, etc. that are to be composited fit into the layout after composition. , make a reduced copy to an appropriate size, cut and paste onto another sheet of paper, and then make another copy.

However, with such manual methods, it is necessary to repeatedly perform reduction copying several times to reduce the size to the appropriate size after compositing, and furthermore, after that, many cuts and pastes are required. It was a time-consuming process, and even after copying, problems such as skewing occurred, making the process time-consuming and unsatisfactory.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional Gokai on Xerox described above is mainly done manually by humans, and after compositing the printed materials that are the subject of the Gokai, they are reduced to an appropriate size to fit in the layout, and then made into separate copies. After cutting and pasting on paper, I made copies again.

However, this method takes more time than expected, and since the cutting and pasting work is then done manually, the skew of the paper after cutting and pasting and the outline of the pasted paper may be printed in the composite copy. There are disadvantages such as the possibility of The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to promote the ability to instantly and beautifully perform processing on Xerox. [Means for Solving the Problems] The configuration of the copying machine of the present invention is such that the printed matter to be synthesized is automatically adjusted to a size suitable for the layout after composition by moving and rotating the lens of the copying machine up and down and the charging drum. an automatic reduction function section that automatically reduces the size of the image, a layout display function section that displays the layout state after compositing, and a composition function section that fits multiple printed materials onto a single page (any paper size). It is characterized by including. [Example] Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

Input section 1 is where printed matter, etc. to be subjected to composition processing is input, but this is the same method as making a normal copy, and storage section 2 stores the data from input section 1 in a buffer etc. This is a place to remember it. The layout display section not only displays the current layout status on the liquid crystal screen, but also instructs where to store the data in the second storage section in the final output format.

A detailed explanation will be given using FIG. 2. First of all, the dotted line is to indicate the storage location after the data has been processed,
This can be displayed arbitrarily in either 4 or 8 divisions. The ○ marks are the locations where the upper left and lower right of the data storage position from the input section are specified using a finger or a pen touch, and the data is inserted after being reduced to a size that fits that area.

The arithmetic unit 4 derives the reduction rate to which the data from the input unit 1 should be reduced to the storage location specified on the layout display unit 3. The synthesis section 5 reduces a plurality of data inputted from the input section 1 according to the reduction ratio calculated by the calculation section 4, and performs synthesis processing. The output unit 6 is a place for outputting the final data processed by the processing unit 5.

By doing this, we achieved the goal of being able to instantly and beautifully process the commands on Xerox.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention temporarily saves input data such as a plurality of printed matter in the storage unit, instructs the storage position on the layout display unit on the Xerox, and calculates the reduction rate in the calculation unit. By performing compositing processing after this process, the conventional process of repeating reduced copying several times and cutting and pasting processing can be completely eliminated, and the effect is that beautiful compositing processing can be instantaneously performed on Zekutx.
