System for processing various types of information in easily usable form
First Claim
1. An image information processing system having a display unit, comprising:
- data receiving means for receiving and providing image data;
image data-base means, operatively connected to said data receiving means, for highly compressing the image data from said data receiving means and storing the highly compressed image data;
high-speed image data-base means, operatively connected to said image data-base means, for storing data from said image data-base means in a high-speed compressed form;
a buffer memory, operatively connected to said image data-base means and said high-speed image data-base means, storing data;
request input means, operatively connected to said image data-base means, said high-speed image data-base means and said buffer memory, for receiving requests and outputting data in response to the requests; and
area blocking means for blocking an area of display on the display unit and producing picture data including image data, mask data and control data in accordance with the block area.

Abstract
An image information processing system includes an image data input portion, an image data-base portion, a high-speed image data-base portion, a buffer memory, and an image data output portion. The image data-base portion stores highly compressed data; the high-speed image data-base portion stores high-speed compressable data; and the buffer memory stores data for a current output. The image data-base portion, the high-speed image data-base portion and the buffer memory are given a hierarchical structure. The image information processing system includes any combination of data for area blocking, a unit for stacking, a unit for adding sound information, and a unit for linking data.

24. A method for processing image information for a display such as characters, pictures and sound, comprising the steps of:
-
inputting image information; providing the input image information to an image data-base and highly compressing the input image information; inputting a request to output data; receiving data from said image data-base in response to the request and providing the received data to a high-speed image data-base and translating the received data into a high-speed compressed form; receiving data from said high-speed image data-base in response to the request and providing high-speed output data; and blocking an area of the display corresponding to an output of the high-speed output data and producing and displaying picture data in accordance with the blocked area, the picture data comprising image data, mask data and control data. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
