Patent ID: 7916141

Claim:
An image processing system comprising: a vector pixel with 1 byte, in the low 4 bits of which a vector information portion is positioned, and information of one of 8 vectors, up, down, left, right, up-left, up-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right vectors, with respect to X- and Y-axis, is stored; a data unit structure forming a partial image by combining the vector pixel, having a boundary indicator for indicating the boundary of the partial image at the end of the data unit structure; a data portion forming a complete image by combining the data unit, having a terminator for indicating the termination of the complete image at the end of the data portion; a file generation unit for forming the data portion according to a specific command, and generating/storing a computer image file based on the data portion; and a data processing unit for processing direction indications according to vector information of the image file generated by the file generation unit and for forming an image based on the direction indication process.
