  • Publication number: 20130050739
    Abstract: A processing device has a requesting section that issues a request to transmit processing data to a server; a receiving section that receives the processing data transmitted from the server in response to the request; a processing section that sequentially makes the received processing data a processing object, and conducts processing based on the processing data that is made a processing object; and a measuring section that measures a data amount of the processing data that has been made a processing object among the received processing data. In a case where a session between the server is disconnected before all the processing data is made a processing object and thereafter the session is reconnected, the processing section conducts processing with respect to a portion that is not yet made a processing object based on the data amount have measured when the server is disconnected.

  • Publication number: 20120110065
    Abstract: A content outputting system includes a client, a content server, a mediation server and an outputting apparatus. Upon reception of a request for outputting content data, the client transmits a request for outputting, which includes a storage location of the content, to the mediation server, so that the mediation server transmits a request for acquisition of the content data to the content server. The content server retrieves the content data from a storage section thereof, and transmits the retrieved content data to the mediation server. The mediation server creates output data on the basis of the received content data, and then, transmits the created output data to the outputting apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20120110066
    Abstract: An image input system includes a client, a content item server, a relay server, and an image input apparatus. When the client receives an instruction to input an image, the client transmits a first input request including the address of the content item server to the relay server and the relay server transmits a second input request to the image input apparatus. The image input apparatus inputs the image and transmits the image to the relay server. The relay server transmits the image to the address included in the first input request. The content item server stores the image in a predetermined storage location inside a storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20100290712
    Abstract: An image processing method of processing image portrayal information used for rendering by attaching textures includes separating a texture area to which the texture is attached and a non-texture area to which the texture is not attached in a coordinate system of a rendering-completed image represented by the image portrayal information, compressing the image portrayal information of the non-texture area by a first compression method, and compressing the image portrayal information of the texture area by a second compression method different from the first compression method.

  • Publication number: 20100289798
    Abstract: An image processing method includes: obtaining image portrayal information representing a relationship between coordinates of a rendered image obtained by performing rendering with a texture attached to a 3-dimensional model and coordinates of the texture and a relationship between colors of each pixel of the rendered image and colors of each pixel of the texture; and compressing the image portrayal information representing a relationship between coordinates of the rendered image and coordinates of the texture using a linear compression scheme.

  • Publication number: 20100207940
    Abstract: Provided is a method of displaying an image including: rendering a predetermined pattern of which each coordinate is set to a different grayscale value by pasting the pattern to a three-dimensional model as a texture, setting a corresponding relationship between a coordinate of a rendered image, which is obtained in a bitmap image form by the rendering, and a coordinate of the predetermined pattern for storing the rendered image as image drawing information by analyzing the rendered image, and arranging a desired texture in the rendered image for display based on the stored image drawing information when the desired texture is supposed to be displayed as an image.
