  • Patent number: 9256362
    Abstract: Provided is a network system including at least first and second communication terminals capable of communicating with each other via a network. The first communication terminal causes handwritten data input in response to an instruction for a point on an image to be displayed in a certain position on the image corresponding to this point, associates the point information about the point with the handwritten data and transmits the point information and the handwritten data to the second communication terminal. Based on the point information and the handwritten data from the first communication terminal, the second communication terminal causes at least a part of the image to be displayed on a second display and also causes the handwritten data to be displayed in a location in accordance with the point information.

  • Publication number: 20130036358
    Abstract: A first terminal (100A) receives a handwriting instruction and a pen type, and transmits the handwriting instruction and the pen type to a server (400). The server (400) refers to a memory to convert the handwriting instruction from the first terminal (100A) into drawing data used for displaying a handwriting image corresponding to the pen type from the first terminal (100A), and transmit the drawing data to the first terminal (100A). The first terminal (100A) displays the handwriting image corresponding to the pen type based on the drawing data from the server (400).

  • Publication number: 20130014022
    Abstract: A first communication terminal includes a first communication device, a first touch panel for displaying motion picture contents, and a first processor for accepting input of a hand-drawing image. The first processor transmits a hand-drawing image input during display of the motion picture contents and start information for identifying a point of time when input of the hand-drawing image at the motion picture contents is started to a second communication terminal. The second communication terminal includes a second touch panel for displaying motion picture contents, a second communication device for receiving the hand-drawing image and start information from the first communication terminal, and a second processor for displaying the hand-drawing image from the point of time when input of the hand-drawing image at the motion picture contents is started on the second touch panel, based on the start information.
