Abstract
When image data to be transferred to a CD-R writer is inputted from a scanner to an image data exchanger, property information (information expressing attributes of the image data, information expressing the input source/output location of the image data, or the like) is added to the image data, and then the image data is stored in a spool. When the image data is fetched from the spool, on the basis of the property information, image processing corresponding to attributes of the image data and to an output location (the CD-R writer) is carried out, and then the image data is transferred to the CD-R writer.
Claims17
An image processing system including at least one input device which inputs image data and at least one output device which, on the basis of transferred image data for output, carries-out image output processing, said image processing system comprising:
- storing means for temporarily storing image data;
- adding means for adding, to image data inputted from an input device, supplementary information including information relating to attributes of the image data;
- setting means for setting an output device which is to carry out image output processing on the image data;
- image processing means for carrying out image processing, which corresponds to the attributes of the image data and to the output device which is to carry out image output processing, on at least one of image data temporarily stored in said storing means and image data which is read from said storing means after the supplementary information has been added thereto and the image data has been temporarily stored in said storing means;
- and
- transfer means for transferring to the output device, as image data for output, the image data which, after having been temporarily stored in said storing means, was read and for which image processing by said image processing means has been completed.
An image processing method for an image processing system including at least one input device which inputs image data and at least one output device which, on the basis of transferred image data for output, carries out image output processing, said image processing method comprising the steps of:
- adding, to image data inputted from an input device, supplementary information including information relating to attributes of the image data;
- carrying out image processing, which corresponds to the attributes of the image data or to an output device which is set as an output device which is to carry out image output processing, on at least one of image data, which is temporarily stored in a storing means for temporarily storing image data, and image data, which, after having had supplementary information added thereto and having been temporarily stored in the storing means, is read from the storing means;
- and
- transferring to the output device, as image data for output, image data which, after having been temporarily stored in the storing means, has been read and for which image processing has been completed.
