Picture processing device having an editing function of input concatenated-command

A picture processing device, supplied with an input picture and an input concatenated-command for said input picture, for processing said input picture into a processed picture in compliance with said input concatenated-command, said device comprising:

• command editing means supplied with said input concatenated-command for editing said input concatenated-command into an edited concatenated-command which is equivalent in function to said input concatenated-command and is smaller in length than said input concatenated-command;
• and
• command executing means connected to said command editing means and supplied with said input picture for executing said edited concatenated-command for said input picture to produce said processed picture;
• said command editing means including
• a dividing means supplied with said input concatenated-command for dividing said input concatenated-command into elementary commands to successively produce said elementary commands as a succession of said elementary commands, and
• a combining means connected to said dividing means for combining said elementary commands into said edited concatenated-command by substituting an equivalent elementary command for a succession of a specific one of said elementary commands and a succeeding one of said elementary commands, said succeeding one of said elementary commands immediately succeeding said specific one of said elementary commands in said succession of said elementary commands, said equivalent elementary command being equivalent in function to a succession of said specific and said succeeding ones of said elementary commands.

A picture processing device, supplied with an input picture and an input concatenated-command for said input picture, for processing said input picture into a processed picture in compliance with said input concatenated-command, said input concatenated-command being a concatenation of input commands, said device comprising:

• command editing means supplied with said input concatenated-command for editing said input concatenated-command into an edited concatenated-command which is equivalent in function to said input concatenated-command and is smaller in length than said input concatenated-command;
• and
• command executing means connected to said command editing means and supplied with said input picture for executing said edited concatenated-command for said input picture to produce said processed picture;
• wherein
• said command editing means edits the concatenation of said input commands into a concatenation of edited commands so that the concatenation of said edited commands is equivalent in function to the concatenation of said input commands and is smaller in length that the concatenation of said input commands, the concatenation of said edited commands being for use as said edited concatenated-command;
• and
• said command executing means is responsive to the concatenation of said edited commands, for executing said edited commands one by one for said input picture to produce said processed picture.
