Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve work efficiency by providing a means designating a range in which a part of image data on an original displayed in a display device is segmented and segmenting image data based on the designated segmenting range. CONSTITUTION:Image data on the original inputted from an image input device 24 is stored in RAM 23a as a dot. image data stored in RAM 23a is displayed in the display device 21. A person who is in charge of input refers to image data displayed in the display device 21 and inputs the image data segmenting range from a keyboard 22. Image data is segmented based on the inputted segmenting range. Namely, a segmenting processing is to segment image data stored in RAM 23a in accordance with a program written in a memory. Thus, the segmented image data is stored in a master file 25.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image data processing method in a computer.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional image data processing method, before inputting a document, a range from which image data is to be cut out is specified, and then, according to a command from a computer to start inputting,
An input operation of the image input device is performed by the person in charge of input. The input image data is displayed on a display device, and the person in charge of input confirms the displayed content and instructs storage into a master file.

0003

However, in the image data processing method described above, if there is a slight shift in the document or there is an error in specifying the area to be cropped, the area to be cropped is specified, and then the computer In accordance with the command to start the input operation, the input operator performs the input operation on the image input device, and the process is repeated again. This process is repeated many times until the desired image data is input, so there is a problem that the process efficiency is low.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by inputting the entire original, displaying the image data of the input original on a display device, and specifying a range from which a part of the image data of the original is to be cut out. The object of the present invention is to provide an image data processing method that cuts out the specified range from image data of a document.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] An image data processing method according to the present invention includes a master file for storing image data, an image data display device, and a document image input device, and the image data processing method includes a master file for storing image data, an image data display device, and a document image input device. means for inputting the entire manuscript in the computer that inputs the input data and storing it in the master file, and then displaying the input image data of the manuscript on a display device to designate a range from which a part of the manuscript image data is to be cut out; and means for cutting out the area in which the image data has been processed from the image data of the original document.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of an image data processing method according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an apparatus that is an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, this embodiment includes a keyboard 21 for specifying an image data cutting range, a display device 22 consisting of a CRT display for displaying image data, a processing section 23 having a RAM 23a and performing various processes, and an image inputting section 23. It includes a device 24 and a master file 25 of image data.

FIG. 3 is an example of an input document. Figure 4 shows R when input as original image data in Figure 3.
It is a conceptual diagram of the memory state of the virtual dot of the memory content in AM23a. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing image data displayed on the display device 22. As shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the display device 22
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of a cut out portion of the image data in FIG. Figure 7 shows the RAM of the image data extraction range.
23a is a conceptual diagram of the storage state of virtual dots of the storage contents in FIG.

In FIG. 3, a document image input device 24
The input image data of the original is stored in the RAM 23a as dots shown in FIG. 4 (step 1). RAM2
The image data stored in 3a is displayed on the display device 22 as shown in FIG. 5 (step 2). The person in charge of inputting refers to the image data displayed on the display device 22 and inputs the image data cutting range from the keyboard 21 (step 3). Image data clipping based on the input clipping range shown in FIG. 6 (step 4);
According to a program written in a memory (not shown), the image data stored in the RAM 23a is cut out (step 4) and stored in the master file 25 as a memorized state in the image data dots of FIG. 7 (step 5).

0010

As described above, according to the present invention, the cropping range of image data can be specified by referring to the image data displayed on the display device, so the image data input operation can be performed only once, and work efficiency can be improved. It has the effect of increasing
