  • Patent number: 9305327
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus and its control method receives a drawing command including a moving image drawing command and a graphics drawing command and performs drawing processing. A drawing command is received, and the moving image drawing command is separated from the graphics drawing command. A graphics drawing unit obtains the result of graphics drawing in accordance with the graphics drawing command. A moving image drawing unit generates moving image data processed in accordance with the moving image drawing command. A composition unit composes the result of graphics drawing by the graphics drawing unit with the moving image data generated by the moving image drawing unit.

  • Patent number: 8633941
    Abstract: An image-processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a determining unit determining a type of image data; a holding unit holding color value for the still images, and holding a ratio for the moving image for each moving image, an updating unit updating the color value and the ratio, and a display unit displaying composite image data. For each piece of image data to be drawn, the updating unit updates each ratio based on a transmittance of the image data, updates the color value and a transmittance of a still image when it is a still image, and updates the color value data based on a transmittance of a moving image, and causes the transmittance to be further held as a ratio of the moving image when it is a moving image. The display unit displays the composite image data using the color value and the ratio.
