  • Patent number: 10893736
    Abstract: A drawing apparatus includes a drawing head and a control device. If a drawing target surface has a first region acclivitous and declivitous respectively in first and second directions different from one another, the drawing head draws first pixels to be drawn on the first region while performing first and second scans in which the drawing head moves respectively in the first and second directions. The control device controls a ratio of a drawing amount of a first scan drawing pixel to be drawn in a line of the first region during the first scan to a drawing amount required for pixels in the line among the first pixels to be higher than a ratio of a drawing amount of a second scan drawing pixel to be drawn in the line during the second scan to the drawing amount required for the pixels in the line.

  • Patent number: 10890666
    Abstract: A satellite radiowave receiving device includes a receiver performing a receiving operation of radiowaves transmitted from a positioning satellite and a processor controlling a positioning operation. The processor performs the positioning operation within at least a predetermined maximum positioning interval from a last positioning operation using preliminarily obtained date and time information and valid positional information on the positioning satellite to obtain a current position of the satellite radiowave receiving device and date and time information. The processor causes the receiver to perform the receiving operation within at least a predetermined date and time updating interval shorter than the predetermined maximum positioning interval from a last time when date and time information is obtained from radiowaves transmitted from a positioning satellite to obtain date and time information without the positioning operation.

  • Patent number: 10885685
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a memory, a display, and a processor. If a display style when a point is specified in an image is a first display style, the processor obtains coordinates of the point in the first display style based on first drawing data stored in the memory without requesting a server to calculate the coordinates, and displays the coordinates on the display. If the display style is a second display style, the processor sends, to the server, relevant data including the coordinates of the point and information indicating that the display style is the second display style; receives second-display-style coordinate data which is (a) second drawing data including the coordinates in the second display style generated by the server based on the relevant data or (b) data including an address of the second drawing data; and displays, on the display, the coordinates based on the second-display-style coordinate data.
