Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises a memory; a store control section to divide and store image data in plural vacant memory regions in the memory; and an image administrating information registering section to register each divided image data divided by the store control section by correlating position information of each divided image data in the image data before dividing the image data with storing position information of each divided image data indicating a storing memory region.

Abstract: There is described an image processing apparatus which enables an additional image, such as a “Confidential” mark, to be added to an original image only during the period when it is necessary to be outputted. The image processing apparatus includes an image signals obtaining section which obtains image signals corresponding to an image; an additional image setting section which sets an additional image with the image corresponding to the image signals; a day and time information setting section which sets a day and time information used for judging whether the image is outputted with or without an additional image in outputting the image based on the image signals; and a judgment section which judges whether date and time information meets date and time for output when the image is outputted based on the image signals.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises an input section which inputs a user identification information; and a registration section which registers an image data in association with the user identification information.

Abstract: A memory administrating method of administrating a memory divided into plural regions each of which consists of consecutive memory addresses, where the method includes the steps of: providing each region of the plural regions with usage information; and when releasing a release target region currently in use, determining usage of the release target region based on the usage information of at least one of neighboring regions positioned before and after the release target region.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a first memory for storing 2-D image data wherein pixels are arranged in a matrix in the main scanning direction and sub-scanning direction orthogonal to each other; a second memory; and a data control section for controlling the first memory and second memory, wherein at least one of the first and second memories is constituted by a SDRAM. The data control section reads the image data from the first memory in blocks of m pixels in the main scanning direction and n pixels in the sub-scanning direction (where n and m are natural numbers), writes the read data into the second memory, and transmits data to the memory composed of the SDRAM by burst transmission and continuous supply of desired column addresses, thereby allowing the read image data to be rotated.

Abstract: A memory administrating method of administrating a memory divided into plural regions each of which consists of consecutive memory addresses, comprising steps of: providing each region of the plural regions with usage information; and when releasing a release target region currently being in use, determining a usage of the release target region based on the usage information of at least one of neighboring regions positioned before and after the release target region.

Abstract: To provide a system capable of avoiding an apparatus anomaly such as a system hang, even when an anomaly condition of connection in the cable connecting the apparatuses occurs. A first apparatus 10 in the transmission side includes: a data processing device 12; a buffer register 22 in which the processing device writes the data to be sent; a transmission section 23 for sending the data stored in the buffer register to a second apparatus 40 connected by a cable 3; and a loop detection section 27 for detecting an anomaly condition of connection in the cable during the data transmission. When detecting the anomaly condition of connection in the loop detection section, the first apparatus clears the buffer register to release the processing device from the data writing waiting, and at the same time the first apparatus notifies the processing device of the occurrence of the anomaly condition.
