System and method for digital image identification and distribution

A method of insetting original identification information into a digital copy of an original, comprising:

• inputting an original data read signal, an identified original data read signal, an identified original data inset reference position setting signal, and an identified image data read signal into a processor;
• inputting desired original data selected from an original data storage section based on the original data read signal into said processor;
• selecting an insetting format and inputting an identified original data insetting format select signal to said processor;
• if said selected insetting format is a framing format, pasting frame data in a periphery of said original data;
• reading the identified original data from the identified original data storage section based on the identified original data read signal, and inputting to the identified original data inset area processing section;
• calculating the identified original data inset area based on the size and configuration of the inputted identified original data;
• inputting the original data to an identified original data insetting position processing section, and calculating a movement direction and a movement amount for a reference position set based on the identified original data insetting reference position setting signal, and the identified image data read from the identified image data storage section in response to the identified image data read signal;
• inputting the identified original data and the output data from the identified original data insetting position processing section to the identified original data insetting processing section;
• and
• insetting the identified original data in the identified original data insetting area.

A computer readable medium configured to store a set of instructions for insetting original identification information into a digital copy of an original, said instructions comprising:

• inputting an original data read signal, an identified original data read signal, an identified original data inset reference position setting signal, and an identified image data read signal into a processor;
• inputting desired original data selected from an original data storage section based on the original data read signal into said processor;
• selecting an insetting format and inputting an identified original data insetting format select signal to said processor;
• if said selected insetting format is a framing format, pasting frame data in a periphery of said original data;
• reading the identified original data from the identified original data storage section based on the identified original data read signal, and inputting to the identified original data inset area processing section;
• calculating the identified original data inset area based on the size and configuration of the inputted identified original data;
• inputting the original data to an identified original data insetting position processing section, and calculating a movement direction and a movement amount for a reference position set based on the identified original data insetting reference position setting signal, and the identified image data read from the identified image data storage section in response to the identified image data read signal;
• inputting the identified original data and the output data from the identified original data insetting position processing section to the identified original data insetting processing section;
• and
• insetting the identified original data in the identified original data insetting area.
