<p>An information processing apparatus includes an image processing section for processing image and character information, a word processing section for processing character information, and a display section for displaying both the image and character information. The word processing section may be of a conventional type. The image processing section includes an image sensor which detects an image recorded on a document and produces an image signal in response thereto, a RAM for storing the image signal, a central processing unit for editing the image signal stored in RAM so as to erase, transfer, or reduce the size of at least a portion of the corresponding image and for storing the edited image signal in the RAM, and a printer for printing out the contents of the RAM. The display section includes a CRT for displaying both the character information generated by the word processing section and the image information detected by the image processing section. A bus control device connects the word processing section to the image processing section so that character information edited with the use of the CRT can be stored along with edited image information in the RAM, whereby the printer is adapted to print out both the edited character and image information stored in the RAM.</p> |
