Picture editing apparatus

A picture editing apparatus adapted for synthesizing a picture, comprising: a first memory for storing picture data; a second memory which stores an insertion pattern for inserting the picture data; a key memory for storing key information corresponding to the insertion pattern, having area designation information for designating an area of the picture data stored in the first memory; and control means operative to control write-in operation of the first memory, the second memory and the key memory on the basis of operation of an operator, and operative to control read-out operation from the first memory of the picture data and read-out operation from the second memory of the insertion pattern on the basis of the key information so that the picture data is inserted with respect to the area indicated by the key information within the insertion pattern.

A picture editing apparatus for synthesizing a picture, comprising: a first memory for storing picture data; a second memory which stores an insertion pattern for inserting the picture data; a key memory for storing key information corresponding to the insertion pattern and consisting of area designation information for designating the area of the picture data stored in the first memory, and picture processing information for designating picture processing carried out with respect to the picture data stored in the first memory; and control means for controlling write-in operation of the first memory, the second memory and the key memory on the basis of operation by an operator, and for controlling read-out operation from the first memory of the picture data and read-out operation from the second memory of the insertion pattern so that picture processing is implemented to the picture data on the basis of the picture processing information and the picture data is inserted with respect to the area indicated by the area designation information within the insertion pattern.

A method of picture synthesizing, said method comprising the steps of: storing a picture data; storing an insertion pattern for inserting the picture data; storing key information corresponding to the insertion pattern and designating an area of the stored picture data; and operatively controlling the write-in operation for the steps of storing picture data, the insertion pattern, the key information and the step of designating the area of the picture data on the basis of an operator, and operatively controlling the read-out operation of the picture data and the insertion pattern on the basis of the key information so that the picture data is inserted with respect to the area indicated by the key information within the insertion pattern.

A method of synthesizing a picture, said method comprising the steps of: storing a picture data; storing an insertion pattern for inserting the picture data; storing key information corresponding to the insertion pattern, the key information including area designation information for designating the area of the stored picture data, and picture processing information for designating picture processing carried out with respect to the stored picture data; and controlling the write-in operation for the steps of storing the picture data, storing the insertion pattern and storing the key information on the basis of an operator, and controlling the read-out operation of the stored picture data and the read-out operation of the insertion pattern so that picture processing is implemented to the picture data on the basis of the picture processing information and the picture data is inserted with respect to the area indicated by the area designation information within the insertion pattern.
