  • Patent number: 10997410
    Abstract: An information processing device includes circuitry to generate content based on image data of an original image drawn on a medium. The content is available for use with a terminal device. The circuitry further acquires identification information uniquely identifying the original image. The circuitry further registers the generated content and the acquired identification information, in association with each other. The content and the identification information are registered in association with each other, to an information acquisition destination from which the terminal device is to acquire information based on the identification information.

  • Patent number: 10674137
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes circuitry to acquire a user image including a manually-drawn image, extract a character image corresponding to the manually-drawn image from the user image, generate an image of a first user object that is a three-dimensional object of the character image to be appeared in a display area that is to be displayed as a display image with a display, and cause the image of the first user object to move on a railroad track on the display area. The circuitry couples the image of the first user object to an image of a second user object in response to determination indicating a distance between the images of the first and second user objects on the railroad track satisfies a predetermined condition, and separates the image of the first user object from the second user object at a fork according to a predetermined condition for changing a course.

  • Patent number: 10235790
    Abstract: A display control apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry receives a user image input to the display control apparatus, the user image including a portion drawn by a user. The circuitry generates a first image based on the user image, the first image being obtained by diffusing one or more pixels of a plurality of pixels defining the user image in time series. The circuitry generates a second image based on the user image, the second image is an image based on which a figure pattern of the user is identifiable and that includes a contour of the user image. The circuitry displays the second image at one position on a screen. The circuitry displays the first image at a counter position of the one position displaying the second image on the screen, the first image being superimposed on the second image.

  • Publication number: 20180082618
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method, each of which acquires a user image having a first shape, the user image including a drawing image that has been manually drawn by a user, controls one or more displays to display a first image having the first shape, created based on the user image, in a display area of a display medium, and further display a second image having a second shape different from the first shape, created based on the user image, in the display area of the display medium.
