Data-processing apparatus and data-processing method for generating copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, and control program

A data-processing method for generating a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image including a plurality of individual character strings, the data-processing method comprising:

• an accepting step of accepting specifications for the individual character strings;
• a drawing-attribute accepting step of accepting specifications of drawing attributes for the individual character strings;
• a calculating step of calculating lengths of the individual character strings based on the specifications accepted in the accepting step and the drawing-attribute accepting step;
• and
• a generating step of generating character string lines by combining the individual character strings based on the lengths of the individual character strings calculated in the calculating step.

An image-generating apparatus that generates an output pattern including a plurality of character strings, the image-generating apparatus comprising:

• an accepting unit configured to accept input of a plurality of character strings;
• a determining unit configured to determine a combination string including a plurality of character strings accepted by the accepting unit so that few gaps occur based on lengths of the individual character strings;
• and
• a generating unit configured to generate the output pattern by repeatedly disposing the combination string determined by the determining unit.

An image-generating apparatus that generates a pattern including a plurality of character strings, the image-generating apparatus comprising:

• an accepting unit configured to accept input of a plurality of character strings;
• a determining unit configured to select at least one character string from the plurality of character strings accepted by the accepting unit so that a total length of the at least one character string is close to a reference length;
• and
• an arranging unit configured to generate the pattern by disposing the at least one character string selected by the determining unit and disposing a character string other than the selected at least one character string so that a total length of the character string is close to the reference length.

An image-generating apparatus that generates a character-string pattern, the image-generating apparatus comprising:

• an accepting unit configured to accept input of a plurality of character strings;
• a determining unit configured to select one character string from the plurality of character strings accepted by the accepting unit as a character string to be used multiple times;
• and
• a generating unit configured to generate the character-string pattern by disposing a plurality of copies of the character string selected by the determining unit.

A data-processing method for generating an output pattern including a plurality of character strings, the data-processing method comprising:

• an accepting step of accepting input of a plurality of character strings;
• a determining step of determining a combination string including a plurality of character strings accepted in the accepting step so that few gaps occur based on lengths of the character strings;
• and
• a generating step of generating the output pattern by repeatedly disposing the combination string determined in the determining step.
