First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing method, comprising:
- hierarchically linking a plurality of objects, each having image data and image attribute information including image format data of an image, and processing the image based on a linkage of the plurality of objects, and automatically setting up image attribute information including the image format data of a parent object for a new object when the new object having the parent object is produced.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus deals with a plurality of objects each having a pair of image data representative of an image and image attribute information representative of an attribute of the image, wherein the plurality of objects are linked in form of a hierarchy structure including a parentage. The image processing apparatus comprises object producing means for producing new objects upon succession of image attribute information of a parent object, object deleting means for deleting an object and the associated descendant objects as well, and attribute information altering means for altering an attribute of an object and an attribute of the associated descendant objects as well.

2. The image processing method according to claim 2, further comprising:
reflecting altered image attribute information including the image format data of the parent object in image attribute information of a descendant object when the parent object is altered.

3. An image processing method, comprising:
-
classifying a plurality of objects each having a pair of image data representative of an image and an image attribute information including image format data of the image, the classification being based on a hierarchical structure; and
processing the image based on the hierarchical structure of the classification, where the image succeeds to objects of an upper classification and objects of a lower classification succeed to objects of the image.

4. An image processing apparatus for performing an image processing including producing an object having a pair of image data representative of an image and image attribute information representative of an attribute of the image, comprising:
-
an object deriving device deriving image attribute information representative of the attribute of the image for linking a plurality of objects, the derived attribute information including image format data representative of the image;
a storage device storing the image attribute information including the image format data for a default, where the plurality of objects of the image and the image attribute information including the image format data are linked in form of a hierarchy structure including parentage; and
an object producing device producing objects based on the stored image attribute information including the image format data in form of a default.
