Information processing apparatus for separately processing code information and pattern information

An information processing apparatus for concurrently processing code information and pattern information, comprising:

• a code information processing unit exclusively processing the code information;
• a pattern information processing unit exclusively processing the pattern information, said pattern information processing unit being separated from said code information processing unit;
• management control means for controlling inputting/outputting information to/from each of said code information processing unit and pattern information processing unit;
• synthesizing means for synthesizing a first output of said code information processing unit and a second output of said pattern information processing unit in accordance with a logical operation so as to output a third output;
• a control system controlling an operation in accordance with the third output supplied by said synthesizing means so as to feed back a result of processing performed by said code information processing unit and said pattern information processing unit;
• and
• difference calculation means for calculating a difference between target information input from external apparatus and the result of processing so as to input the difference to said code information processing unit to correct the second output of said pattern information processing unit.

An information processing system for concurrently processing code information and pattern information, comprising:

• a code information processing unit comprising a first CPU exclusively processing the code information;
• a pattern information processing unit comprising a second CPU exclusively processing the pattern information, said pattern information processing unit being separated from said code information processing unit;
• and
• management processing unit which controls inputting/outputting information to/from each of said code information processing unit and pattern information processing unit,
• wherein each one of said first CPU and said second CPU receives data from the other of said first CPU and said second CPU.

An information processing system for concurrently processing code information and pattern information, comprising:

• a code information processing unit exclusively processing the code information;
• a pattern information processing unit exclusively processing the pattern information, said pattern information processing unit being separated from said code information processing unit;
• management processing unit which controls inputting/outputting information to/from each of said code information processing unit and pattern information processing unit;
• a logical synthesizing circuit which synthesizes a first output of said code information processing unit and a second output of said pattern information processing unit in accordance with a logical operation so as to output a third output;
• a control system controlling an operation in accordance with the third output supplied by said logical synthesizing circuit so as to feed back a result of processing performed by said code information processing unit and said pattern information processing unit;
• and
• a logical difference calculation circuit which calculates a difference between target information input from external apparatus and the result of processing so as to input the difference to said code information processing unit to correct the second output of said pattern information processing unit.
