  • Patent number: 9959084
    Abstract: A communication terminal displays an image having a plurality of image layers, being shared with a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal. In response to a user input for changing appearance of a first image layer of the image, the communication terminal stores information reflecting the change caused by the user input to the first image layer in a memory, and generates an updated image having the first image layer that reflects the change caused by the user input. The communication terminal transmits the information reflecting the change to the first image layer to the first communication terminal to cause the first communication terminal to generate and display the updated image. The communication terminal transmits the updated image having the first image layer that reflects the change to the second communication terminal to cause the second communication terminal to store the updated image.
