A plurality of image input devices and a plurality of image output devices are connected to a system bus and an image bus of an image processing system through an external device control unit. In response to an instruction supplied, the image input devices and the image output devices are directly connected with each other through the external device control unit without the intermediary of the image processing system, whereby inputted data can be processed. When the instruction includes an instruction indicating that the number of outputs from the image output devices is plural, the inputted image data is temporarily stored in an image memory of the image processing system. A plurality of outputs of image data are obtained from the image output devices based on the stored image data. Consequently, if the image input device is an image reader for example, scanning of the document is required only once even in a multicopy mode. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to efficiently process image data in an image processing system capable of operating external input/output devices in a direct mode.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a plurality of outputs of image data from external output devices at high speed in an image processing system capable of operating external input devices in a direct mode.
Still another object of the present invention is to process the most preferable image data at the time of providing a plurality of outputs of image data from the external output devices, in an image processing system capable of operating external input/output devices in a direct mode.
In order to attain the above described objects, an image processing system according to the present invention comprises an image processing section, external image input means, external image output means, and connection control means.
The image processing section comprises a data processing unit for processing image data, and an image memory for storing the image data.
The external image input means inputs image data.
The external image output means outputs image data corresponding to the inputted image data.
The connection control means controls connections among the external image input means, the external image output means and the image memory so as to shorten the time required for the inputted image data to be outputted corresponding to the number of outputs from the external image output means.
In order to attain the above described objects, the image processing system according to an aspect of the invention comprises an image processing section, external image input means, external image output means, mode setting means, output number designating means, determining means, and control means.
The image processing section includes a data processing unit for processing image data and an image memory for storing the image data.
The external image input means inputs image data.
The external image output means outputs image data corresponding to the inputted image data
