A graphical programming system (1) allows a user to visually create a program. The system employs and input unit (12) and a display (11). The system includes, for example, a graphic-component memory (3) storing graphic components each corresponding to a program that achieves a task such as an operation task or a database task, and displaying the graphic components on the display (11), a task memory (5) storing the programs corresponding to the graphic components and providing the graphic-component memory (3) with data obtained by executing the programs, and a graphic component generator (6) automatically generating data on the graphic components and storing the data in the graphic-component memory (3).

Graphical programming system that allows easy handling of data

To permit a user to produce application programs easily, a plurality of object names and objects linkage information is specified as external specification data, the plurality of objects are related to each other based on linkage information stored in an objects linkage information storage, transmission and reception of data between the plurality of objects are controlled, and processes in which the plurality of objects constituting the application program are linked are executed.

Device for building programs employing objects linkage information

An image processing apparatus includes an image input unit for inputting image information, a trimming unit for trimming an area for classifying and summarizing the image information input by the image input unit, a recognition unit for recognizing information representing each image information in the area trimmed by the trimming unit, and a search unit for searching image information by at least one of pieces of the information recognized by the recognition unit.

Image processing apparatus

An interactive programming system processing method configures an application by combining processes of a plurality of object-oriented components. An object-oriented component is configured by a controller part of an entity as an object of operation for defining a behavior against an external operation, a behavior definition part defines a process of the external operation and holds a result of the process of the external operation, and a view definition part defines a view by a graphic on a display screen. The result of the process obtained by the behavior definition part is acquired, the result of the process is transmitted to another object-oriented component linked with the object-oriented component, and the result of the process is displayed on the display screen in accordance with the definition of the view.

Method for implementing a program for an object-oriented programming

An image processing system has an image processing function for use in, particularly, a word processor, a copying machine, or a facsimile apparatus. This apparatus includes an image reader to read and input image information; a keyboard to input character information; a recognizing unit for recognizing the character information in the image information inputted by the image reader; and an image processor for performing the editing of characters on the basis of the result by the recognizing unit. The character information includes lines of character strings, paragraphs in document information, spaces between words, spaces between characters, hyphens, or positions of words. The image processor means performs the image editing processes such as right alignment, deletion, rewriting, insertion, search, and the like with respect to the character information recognized by the recognizing unit. With this system, the character data inputted from the keyboard and the image data read by the image reader can be processed at the same level, so that the new documents can be freely produced.
