    摘要: A Memory Interface and Video Attribute Controller (MIVAC) is inserted between a dynamic RAM (DRAM) capable of a consecutive data read operation, such as the operation associated with the static column mode, page mode, or nibble mode, and a graphic processor to provide a parallel data processing. A serial data transfer is executed on each data bus between the MIVAC and the DRAM, whereas parallel data transfer is conducted between the MIVAC and the graphic processor. As a result, the graphic processor can be configured with a reduced number of DRAMs so that the graphic processor operates without paying attention to the consecutive data read mode of the DRAM.

    摘要: A character recognition apparatus for inferring the entire character string solely from a user-input handwritten keyword and displaying the inferred result as a candidate character string. The apparatus of the invention comprises: a word string includes a word hierarchy and for recognizing each of the words within the hierarchy; a character transition probability table a4 storing probabilities of transitions from any one character to another, and those pieces of the word identification information which correspond to combinations of characters resulting from the transitions; and an optimization unit for using the character transition probability table in optimizing candidate character strings obtained by a recognition unit. The word dictionary is searched for a word defined by the word identification information which corresponds to the optimized candidate character string, whereby the searched word is retrieved which applies to the hierarchy information and which has yet to be input.

    摘要: To reduce the hardware of the graphics computer in size and reduce the cost of the hardware, the frame buffer and the main memory are united into one unit to process graphics data in the CPU. The frame buffer is arranged in the main memory, and the graphics computer includes a DMAC used to read pixel data from the frame buffer for display, a display used to receive the pixel data and display it on a display device, such as an LCD, etc., and memories used to store the procedure used by the CPU to draw the pixel data in the said frame buffer. Especially, the said memories are formed so that a single function procedure and 2 multifunction procedure can be selected to suit the drawing object. In addition, the single function procedure includes 2 line drawing procedure that uses data tables and 2 multivalue expansion procedure that uses a pattern table and a mask table. Since the frame buffer and the main memory are united into one unit, the CPU can be used to process graphics data. Thus, the graphics computer hardware is reduced in size and the cost of the hardware is reduced.

    摘要: In a data processor and a shading apparatus used in the data processor, the data processor selects an address based on the information of a memory or a translation look-aside buffer. Therefore, even when the same data are accessed, a different address at high speed is adopted according to the hardware, object to be processed, processing, etc. A plurality of geometric vectors are given as the parameters for the vertexes of a picture, the vectors are interpolated in the picture, and the luminance of each small area in the figure is calculated using the vectors generated by the interpolation. Therefore, a spotlight or highlight can be expressed with high accuracy and at high speed even when the amount of the hardware and the extent of the picture are small.
