Publication number: 20140198115Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shigeru Sakamoto, Satoru Mamiya, Jun Fujisawa, Shuichi Okamura, Sgubta Takeichi, Atsushi Date, Takeshi Suzuki, Akihiro Takamura, Waki Murakami, Toru Nomakuchi

Patent number: 8633941Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2009Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Asuka Wada, Toru Nomakuchi, Satoru Mamiya, Jun Fujisawa, Shinya Takeichi, Shuichi Okamura, Atsushi Date, Takeshi Suzuki, Akihiro Takamura, Waki Murakami, Shigeru Sakamoto

Patent number: 7889386Abstract: An image processing apparatus processes vector image data in units of blocks. When vector image data associated with a first block satisfies a predetermined condition, the image processing apparatus stores the result of processing the vector image data associated with the first block. When vector image data associated with a second block matches the vector image data associated with the first block, the image processing apparatus outputs the result of processing the vector image data associated with the first block, which is stored therein.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Waki Murakami
