  • Method and apparatus for processing coded image data
    Patent number: 5563966
    Abstract: Coded image data are supplied in the order of page units, and each page of the input coded image data is examined without being decoded as to whether it includes a predetermined coded separator pattern. If a separator sheet is included, that page is recognized as the coded image data of a separator sheet, and if a separator sheet is not included, that page is recognized as the coded image data of a document. Therefore, the document fed before the separator sheet and the document fed after the separator sheet can be classified to belong to different groups, and thus registered in different regions of a memory, respectively. Since the coded image data of documents can be classified without being decoded, a plurality of documents to be classified can be supplied even from a facsimile or the like to and registered in an electronic image filing system at a high speed.
