Abstract
Abstract A device, for managing rendering information of a figure included in a display instruction of the figure by an identifier of the figure, is provided separately from an application processor. The application processor supplies an instruction to a figure display processor by using a figure operation instruction part executing the operation of the figure including a metamorphosis. By a special request for a metamorphosis instruction, a shape information in the rendering information is updated to the shape information after metamorphosing, and thus, the shape of an objective figure to be displayed can be changed easily.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A figure display system having a processing unit for processing data and a display unit for displaying a figure, comprising: an application processor for displaying the figure, in accordance with a request from a user; a figure display processor for transferring the figure to the display unit, upon receipt of an instruction from the application processor; a rendering information managing part having means for retrieving a rendering information from an identifier of the figures means for changing the rendering information, and for managing, in a pair, the identifier of the figure displaying on the display unit and the rendering information including a shape and a position information of the figure; and figure operation instruction means for supplying an instruction from the application processor to the figure display processor, and for executing operations of at least framing, extinction, display, erasion, and metamorphosis of the figure, wherein: the figure display processor, wherein includes: means for retrieving the rendering information from the rendering information managing part, in response to the request from the application processor using the figure operation instruction means, means for determining the shape, movement and/or transformation of the figure in accordance with the rendering information, for executing the display process to the display unit, and means for converting the shape information in the rendering information to the shape information after metamorphosis by the special request of the metamorphosis instruction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A figure display system having a processing unit for processing data and a display unit for displaying a figure, comprising: an application processor for displaying the figure, in accordance with a request from a user; a figure display processor for transferring the figure to the display unit, upon receipt of an instruction from the application processor; a rendering information managing part having means for retrieving a rendering information from an identifier of the figures means for changing the rendering information, and for managing, in a pair, the identifier of the figure displaying on the display unit and the rendering information including a shape and a position information of the figure; and figure operation instruction means for supplying an instruction from the application processor to the figure display processor, and for executing operations of at least framing, extinction, display, erasion, and metamorphosis of the figure, wherein: the figure display processor, wherein includes: means for retrieving the rendering information from the rendering information managing part, in response to the request from the application processor using the figure operation instruction means, means for determining the shape, movement and/or transformation of the figure in accordance with the rendering information, for executing the display process to the display unit, and means for converting the shape information in the rendering information to the shape information after metamorphosis by the special request of the metamorphosis instruction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A figure display system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the figure display processor includes a display instruction filtering part for determining and selecting whether an instruction is appropriate or not, the instruction changes the rendering information in response to the shape of the figure from the application processor using the figure operation instruct means; and when the display instruction is not appropriate, a predetermined error process starts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
102 words
A figure display system as set forth in claim 2, wherein: the rendering information managing part includes managing means for handling a plurality of rendering information as a whole by using the identifier of the figure given to the composite figure comprised of a plurality of rendering information; and the figure display processor, when an identifier of the figure included in the instruction from the application processor using the figure operation instruction means, is an identifier relating the composite figure, the instructed process is executed for a plurality of figures, in accordance with a plurality of rendering information defined by the identifiers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
103 words
A figure display system as set forth in claim 1, wherein: the rendering information managing part includes managing means for handling a plurality of rendering information as a whole by using the identifier of the figure given to the composite figure comprised of a plurality of rendering information; and the figure display processor, when an identifier of the figure included in the instruction from the application processor using the figure operation instruction means, is an identifier relating the composite figure, the instructed process is executed for a plurality of figures, in accordance with a plurality of a rendering information defined by the identifiers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
105 words
A figure display method having a central processing unit and memory, for processing a figure data by an execution of a programmed instruction and for displaying a figure, comprising the steps of: inputting the data and position information through a keyboard, in accordance with a request of a user from an input unit; retrieving a rendering information using an identifier of a figure to be displayed;, determining a shape, movement, or transformation of the figure in accordance with the rendering information; and converting the shape information in the rendering information to the shape information after metamorphosis upon receipt of the request of instruction of metamorphosis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
105 words
A figure display method having a central processing unit and memory, for processing a figure data by an execution of a programmed instruction and for displaying a figure, comprising the steps of: inputting the data and position information through a keyboard, in accordance with a request of a user from an input unit; retrieving a rendering information using an identifier of a figure to be displayed;, determining a shape, movement, or transformation of the figure in accordance with the rendering information; and converting the shape information in the rendering information to the shape information after metamorphosis upon receipt of the request of instruction of metamorphosis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
A figure display method as set forth in claim 5, further comprising the steps of filtering to determine and select whether the instruction by which the rendering information metamorphoses in response to the shape of the figure, is appropriate or not; if the display is not appropriate, executing an error process.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
79 words
A figure display method as set forth in claim 6, further comprising the steps of: handling a plurality of rendering information as a whole, by using an identifier of the figure which is given to a composite figure comprised of a plurality of rendering information; and executing instructed process to a plurality of figures, in accordance with a plurality of rendering information defined by the identifier when the identifier of the figure is an identifier relating the composite figure.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
79 words
A figure display method as set forth in claim 5, further comprising the steps of: handling a plurality of rendering information as a whole, by using an identifier of the figure which is given to a composite figure comprised of a plurality of rendering information; and executing instructed processes to a plurality of figures, in accordance with a plurality of rendering information defined by the identifier when the identifier of the figure is an identifier relating the composite figure.
