Abstract: A traced line image drawn by a human with a pen is captured by a camera or scanner and fed into a personal computer as an original line image. The personal computer thins the supplied line image and paints all the pixels in the areas enclosed by fine lines with a color specified by the operator. Next, the computer, according to the command of the operator, thickens the original traced lines and colors the pixels on the thickened traced lines with a specified color. The computer combines the images in the area enclosed by fine lines with the thickened-line image according to a predetermined combining formula. Last, the computer checks whether or not the images generated over several frames are displayed as an appropriate dynamic image. With the image generation procedure, animated color images can be generated quickly by using a computer.

Abstract: A trace line picture which is manually drawn with a pen is captured by a camera or a scanner, and is supplied to a personal computer as an original line drawing. The personal computer carries out thinning processing on the supplied line drawing, and paints all pixels in a closed area surrounded by the thinned line with a color designated by an operator. Then, the computer thickens the original trace line and colors pixels on the thickened trace line with a predetermined color, in accordance with a command from the operator. The computer synthesizes the picture of the closed area surrounded by the thinned line and the thickened picture in accordance with a predetermined synthesis formula. Finally, the computer checks whether or not pictures synthesized over several frames are displayed as an appropriate dynamic image and colours them in the same way as the original frame.

Abstract: An information providing system (1) includes an information apparatus (11) containing a medium type indicating a corresponding information type and having a setting function for setting a user identifier to specify a user who receives information provided and a connection function for connecting to a network, and an information server apparatus to which the information apparatus (11) is connected via the network. According to user profile data indicating information to be provided in accordance with the user identifier, database (23, 24) containing content data related to a medium type and an information genre, and a request from the information apparatus, the information server apparatus searches for and fetches content data from the database. The information apparatus (11) includes a request processing computer (21) for supplying the fetched data as content data of a corresponding medium type to the information apparatus (11). Thus, even an information apparatus having no sophisticated input apparatus can fetch information from the Internet and utilize it. Moreover, an information provider can provide information without being conscious what kind of apparatus a user uses for fetching information.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promptly generate a colored image of an animation. SOLUTION: The animation of a trace line generated in a step S4 is fetched by a camera, a scanner, etc., in a step S11, and a line image is generated. The line image is thinned, and a closed area is formed by the thinned line. A pixel in the closed area is made to be painted in a specified color in a step S12. The trace line is thickened, and the pixel of the thickened line is painted in a specified color. The image formed by painting the pixel in the closed area and the image formed by painting the thickened pixel are composited. The animation of the composited image is checked in a step S13.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily recognize an error display attended with occurrence of errors in lots of video audio equipment without missing. SOLUTION: In the case that a main window of a system is displayed in an icon menu, an error is displayed by a red/white blink of the icon display and warning is displayed by orange. When equipment is in a normal state, the color is made white. When an error state command is sent from the equipment, whether the current status is the red/white blink, the orange or the white is discriminated (S1). When the white color is discriminated, the icon display is made the blink (S4) in the case of occurrence of an error (S2) and made the orange (S5) in the case of the warning according to the content of the command. When the current state is the blink state, the icon display is unchanged. Furthermore, when the current state is the orange and the command is the warning (S5), the display is unchanged and when the command is the error, the display is made the blink (S6).
