Image sharing method, information processing device, and information processing system

An information processing device comprising:

• a display control unit which, when a first drawing is executed on a shared layer shared with another information processing device, transmits a first object generated by the first drawing to the another information processing device and displays the first object at a position within a screen prescribed by the shared layer, and which, when a second drawing is executed on an unshared layer not shared with the another information processing device, does not transmit a second object generated by the second drawing to the another information processing device and displays the second object at a position within the screen prescribed by the unshared layer;
• an arrangement control unit variably controlling one of a size and a position within the screen of the unshared layer, or both of the size and the position within the screen of the unshared layer;
• and
• a copy control unit which, when accepting a copy instruction to copy the second object included in the unshared layer to the shared layer, copies the second object designated by the copy instruction from the shared layer, and pastes the copied second object to the shared layer, wherein
• the display control unit transmits the pasted second object in the shared layer to the another information processing device.

An information processing system for sharing an image between a first information processing device and a second information processing device, wherein

• when a first drawing is executed on a shared layer shared with the second information processing device, the first information processing device transmits a first object generated by the first drawing to the second information processing device and displays the first object at a position within a screen prescribed by the shared layer,
• when a second drawing is executed on an unshared layer not shared with the second information processing device, the first information processing device does not transmit a second object generated by the second drawing to the second information processing device and displays the second object at a position within the screen prescribed by the unshared layer, and
• the first information processing device variably controls one of a size and a position within the screen of the unshared layer, or both of the size and the position within the screen of the unshared layer, wherein
• when accepting a copy instruction to copy the second object included in the unshared layer to the shared layer, the first information processing device copies the second object designated by the copy instruction from the shared layer, pastes the copied second object to the shared layer and transmits the pasted second object in the shared layer to the second information processing device.
