  • Publication number: 20150378643
    Abstract: An embodiment of this invention solves memory shortage that occurs in enlargement processing of an image because a web application holds data of an image or the like not as binary data but as character string data. In the embodiment, a processor in an information processing apparatus executes a program including a first program layer with an instruction set to be interpreted and executed by the processor and a second program layer with an instruction set interpreted in advance by a unit other than the processor in the following way. That is, the first program layer draws an image, and divides and enlarges the drawn image using a memory. Image data of each of a plurality of images obtained by the division and enlargement is output from the second program layer to an external device.

  • Publication number: 20150379382
    Abstract: When performing image processing on a designated image by the function of the application, image data of the designated image is obtained in a second layer constituted by an instruction set executable by a processor. In a first layer constituted by a script instruction set, the print script of print content including the image data which has been obtained and converted into a data format interpretable by the first layer in the second layer is generated. The print script is rendered into print image data corresponding to a print resolution by interpreting the generated print script.
