Abstract: An audio visual apparatus 1 displays animation in which a character 102 strikes drum objects 106R and 106L with sticks 104R and 104L respectively. In this case, the audio visual apparatus 1 performs frequency analysis of audio signals ALE, ARE as input from outside, predicts occurrence timing of a future beat, and starts to swing the stick 104L or 104R down earlier by the time TA than the occurrence of the beat. Herewith, it is possible to synchronize the strikes of the drum objects 106L and 106R by the sticks 104L and 104R with the beat of the music.

Abstract: Print image data which is image developed from page-description-language data of a document of which a specified page is previously marked by an insert mark set in a client computer is held in an image server so as to sequentially add optional scan insert originals to a designated page position of the document consisting of plural pages at arbitrary timing using a scanner function at an image server side also for originals of which data is not previously digitized without converting original data into raster image data at a client side. Data of insert originals is input in real time by a scanner in a digital color copying machine, and then the data is print output to a page designated by the marking when the print image data is print output from the digital color copying machine.

Abstract: A plurality of original documents which are fed in sequence by a document feeder are prescanned. The prescanned image is stored, and a plurality of original document images are previewed on the basis of the stored image data. An original document image which should be subjected to image processing is selected from the plurality of previewed original document images, and the image of the original document selected from among the plurality of original documents which are fed in sequence by the document feeder is finally scanned.

Abstract: Print image data which is image developed from PDL data of a document of which a specified page is previously marked by an insert mark set in a client computer 400 is held in an image server 200 so as to sequentially add optional scan insert originals to a designated page position of the document consisting of plural pages at arbitrary timing using a scanner function at an image server side also for originals of which data is not previously digitized without converting original data into raster image data at a client side, and data of insert originals is input in real time by a scanner in a digital color copying machine then the data is print output to a page designated by the marking when the print image data is print output from the digital color copying machine.

Abstract: A scanner server is structured to execute, at independent times, prescan process, for storing image data output from a scanner in a prescan for reading an original document image at a low resolution, and a final scan process for storing the image data output from the scanner in a final scan for reading an original document image at a high resolution in accordance with the processing conditions set on the basis of image data stored in the prescan process.

Abstract: In a printer server system composed of a plurality of client terminals, a file server and a printer server connected to the same network, the file server manages raster image data to be printed out and queuing information for queuing print commands. If a main controller judges that the data type of a raster image differs from a data type capable of being outputted in the printer server connected to the network, a gray-scale raster image, for example, is converted to image data of a data type, such as binary data, capable of being printed out. The converted image data is then outputted by the printer server.

Abstract: An image processing system includes a printer engine (3) corresponding to one or both of binary and multi-value data, and a plurality of memory devices (1a, 1b) for storing bit map data and supplying a binary or multi-value video signal to the printer engine, and an interface (7) for connecting the plurality of memory devices (1a, 1b) to the engine (3). Binary or multi-value data is read out from an arbitrary memory device, two different binary data, two different multi-value data, or binary data and multi-value data are synthesized, and the synthesized data is printed. Processing, which is conventionally performed by a single memory device, can be separately performed by the plurality of memory devices, thus increasing the processing speed. Various processing operations such as binary-multi-value synthesizing processing can easily be performed.

Abstract: An apparatus in a system in which a data source, a server, and the apparatus are connected on a network includes a receiver for receiving a direct command from the data source for requesting direct communication between the data source and the apparatus. The apparatus also includes a judging unit for judging whether a direct command can be accepted when the direct command is received during a data communication with the server, and a controller for interrupting the data communication with the server when it is judged that the direct command can be accepted. The direct command allows a printing/scanning function of a data input/output apparatus connected to the apparatus to be executed without passing through the server.
