Image processing apparatus and image processing system

An image processing system comprising:

• a display device which displays an image;
• and
• an image processing apparatus which supplies an image to the display device,
• the image processing apparatus including
• a synthesizing unit which synthesizes a drawn image drawn on the displayed image on a display device with the displayed image;
• a content data receiving unit which receives content data;
• a content data conversion unit which converts the received content data to image data;
• and
• an external snapshot generation unit which generates an external snapshot to be displayed on the display unit based on the converted image data and stores the external snapshot in a storage unit;
• and
• a display control unit which displays the image synthesized by the synthesizing unit on the display device and also displays an object corresponding to the external snapshot in a selectable manner so that the external snapshot is displayed on the display device when the object is selected.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that causes a computer to execute an image processing method comprising:

• synthesizing a drawn image drawn on a displayed image on a display device with the displayed image;
• receiving content data;
• converting the received content data to image data;
• and
• generating an external snapshot to be displayed on the display unit based on the converted image data and stores the external snapshot in a storage unit;
• and
• displaying the synthesized image on the display device and also displaying an object corresponding to the external snapshot in a selectable manner so that the external snapshot is displayed on the display device when the object is selected.
