  • Patent number: 10762706
    Abstract: An image acquiring unit acquires an image of a sheet on which a medium that presents an identification image, including identification information is to be placed, the sheet including a user image that is presented by a user. A first identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. An image extracting unit extracts the user image from the image acquired by the image acquiring unit. A second identification-information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the medium alone. A first storage unit stores the user image in association with the identification information. A managing unit acquires, from the first storage unit, a user image such that the identification information associated with the user image matches the identification information acquired by the second identification-information acquiring unit, among the user images that are stored in the first storage unit.

  • 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: 10570858
    Abstract: A canister includes a fresh air introducing port for introducing a fresh air into the canister. The fresh air introducing port is opened in a space formed by at least a tank cover. The canister is connected to a drain pipe for draining a liquid in the canister to the outside of the canister. The drain pipe extends rearward at a height same as or higher than a lower end of the tank cover. The drain pipe merges with a supplied-fuel drain pipe and extends to a lower portion of a vehicle. The supplied-fuel drain pipe drains a fuel around a fuel supply port of a fuel tank.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10049605
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes an image acquisition unit, an image extraction unit, a registration unit, a display control unit, a coordinate generation unit, and a motion detection unit. The coordinate generation unit generates, based on a detection result of a detection unit configured to detect the position of an object in a three-dimensional space, coordinates of the object in a screen. The motion detection unit detects a motion of the object based the coordinates in the screen generated by the coordinate generation unit. The display control unit displays a first image on the screen. When the motion is detected by the motion detection unit, the display control unit further displays a second image on the screen based on coordinates corresponding to the detected motion, and changes the display of the first image.
