  • Patent number: 11775176
    Abstract: A terminal device uploads data to a storage device. The terminal device includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that cause the device to determine whether data to be uploaded is a file or a partial dataset being used by an application, determine whether one or more data objects created in a given format is included in the data to be uploaded determined to be the partial dataset, generate image data and a shared byte string from the data to be uploaded if the data objects created in the given format are included in the data to be uploaded, send the data to be uploaded to the storage device as shared data if the data to be uploaded is the file, and send the image data and the shared byte string to the storage device as the shared data if the data to be uploaded is the partial dataset.

  • Patent number: 11100317
    Abstract: A drawing device draws stroke data including a plurality of control points. The drawing device includes at least one processor; and at least one memory device storing at least one program that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the drawing device to: generate intermediate data formed from movement of the stroke data by moving each of the plurality of control points, and control a display device to sequentially draw at least the generated intermediate data.

  • Patent number: 10234964
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes detection circuitry and processing circuitry. The detection circuitry, in operation, detects a position on a sensor that is pointed to by a pointer. The processing circuitry, in operation, generates three-dimensional data that includes the position detected by the detection circuitry, positions a two-dimensional surface relative to the position detected by the detection circuitry, and applies rendering to, at least, part of the three-dimensional data that is arranged on one side of the two-dimensional surface to be displayed on a display screen.

  • Patent number: 9886103
    Abstract: A drawing device includes a sensor arranged in a superimposed relationship with a display device and having an indicator operation detection area sized to detect indictor operations in the image display area of the display device; a memory that stores drawing information; and a control circuit that renders a drawing in the image display area of the display device based on the drawing information stored in the memory. The control circuit causes a test drawing area and a parameter setting area to be displayed superimposed on the drawing image that is displayed in response to a detection, by the sensor, of an indication operation by the indicator, the test drawing area enabling a drawing operation to be performed using the indicator, the parameter setting area enabling changes to parameters of the drawing information generated by the drawing operation in the test drawing area using the indicator.

  • Patent number: 7472910
    Abstract: The present invention enables relatively easy animation display without requiring a special resource, and facilitates easy generation of the animation. When an image to be displayed as animation is constructed with a background, leg, body and head, these images are distributed as a layer. For each layer, a timing schedule is set with attribute data which includes display update timing and display effects. According to the schedule, display for each layer is updated at the scheduled timing.
