  • Patent number: 10733962
    Abstract: An image generation device includes: a rasterizing portion generating, according string data, an element-blank image including a first element image indicating a first-type string element of a string and a blank image indicating a blank; an embedding portion identifying and embedding a second element image indicating a second-type string element of the string in the blank image; a first data storage portion in which a first data group used to generate the first element image is stored; and a second data storage portion in which a second data group including an image to be embedded as the second element image is stored. The rasterizing portion generates the first element image based on the first data group, and generates the blank image at a position where the second element image is to be embedded by identifying an embedding position of the second element image.

  • Patent number: 9536343
    Abstract: In a three-dimensional image generation apparatus, a CPU concatenates meshes of a plurality of objects which meet a predefined concatenation condition, and performs in advance vertex attribute transformation on the plurality of objects of which the meshes have been concatenated. The CPU regards as a single object, the plurality of objects on which the vertex attribute transformation has been performed, and transfers a rendering command, which instructs rendering of the plurality of objects regarded as the single object, to a GPU. The GPU renders, at a time, the plurality of objects that are regarded as the single object, upon receiving the rendering command from the CPU.
