Technology for combining images in a form

Abstract

When a plurality of image data are received, a form data from among at least one form data and a format data from among at least one format data are selected based on number of the image data. The image data, selected form data and format data are combined to generate an output image.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . An image processing device connected directly to an image supplying apparatus, the image processing device comprising:
 a memory to store therein form data, wherein the form data includes a display frame in which an image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus is to be fitted; and   a controller configured to vary the image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus in size to be fitted into the display frame included in the form data.   
     
     
         3 . The image processing device of  claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to vary the image datum in size while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image datum to be fitted into the display frame. 
     
     
         4 . The image processing device of  claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to vary the image datum in size to be a same size as the display frame to be fitted into the display frame. 
     
     
         5 . The image processing device of  claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured to vary the image datum in size to be a same size as the display frame to be fitted into the display frame. 
     
     
         6 . The image processing device of  claim 5 , wherein the controller selects one of (1) the varying the image datum in size while keeping the aspect ratio of the image datum to be fitted into the display frame, or (2) the varying the image datum in size to be a same size as the display frame to be fitted into the display frame. 
     
     
         7 . The image processing device of  claim 2 , wherein the form data includes layout data of the display frame. 
     
     
         8 . The image processing device of  claim 7 , wherein the layout data includes a coordinate value of a point at a top left corner of the display frame. 
     
     
         9 . The image processing device of  claim 8 , wherein the layout data further includes a height and width of the display frame. 
     
     
         10 . The image processing device of  claim 9 , wherein the layout data further includes a rotational angle of the display frame. 
     
     
         11 . An image processing method for an image processing device connected directly to an image supplying apparatus, the image processing method comprising:
 storing form data in a memory, wherein the form data includes a display frame in which an image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus is to be fitted; and   varying the image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus in size to be fitted into the display frame included in the form data.   
     
     
         12 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instruction to be executed by an image processing device connected directly to an image supplying apparatus, the computer executable instructions cause the image processing device to execute:
 storing form data in a memory, wherein the form data includes a display frame in which an image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus is to be fitted; and   varying the image datum transferred from the image supplying apparatus in size to be fitted into the display frame included in the form data.
