Abstract
A time-divided multi-task image processing apparatus conducts each task in a time slice. This image processing apparatus correlates a first identification code to the picture information sequentially input and stores it in memory means for a specified period. Then, when the second identification code having any value is given from an external device which generates the second identification code synchronized with the first identification code, the image processing apparatus searches the first identification code which has the nearest value to that of the second identification code and which satisfies a specified relation between the value of the second identification code by second control means, and then reads out the picture information which is combined with the first identification code from the memory means.
