Electronic apparatus, information processing method, system, and medium

An information processing method for an electronic apparatus, comprising:

• obtaining an instruction on a figure-related process;
• if a type of a figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type unable to be drawn with function data stored in a memory of the electronic apparatus, (i) sending relevant data including information on the figure to at least one server, (ii) receiving, from the at least one server, drawing data generated by the at least one server executing, based on the relevant data, an arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process, and (iii) performing the figure-related process on a display of the electronic apparatus in accordance with the received drawing data without executing the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data;
• and
• if the type of the figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type able to be drawn with the function data stored in the memory, (i) executing an arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data without requesting the at least one server to execute the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process, and (ii) performing the figure-related process on the display in accordance with drawing data generated as a result of the arithmetic operation.

A system comprising:

• at least one server;
• and
• an electronic apparatus which communicates with the at least one server, the electronic apparatus including:
• a memory which stores function data for figure drawing;
• a display;
• and a processor, wherein
• if the at least one server receives relevant data including information on a figure from the electronic apparatus, the at least one server generates drawing data by executing, based on the relevant data, an arithmetic operation required for a figure-related process, and
• the electronic apparatus:
• obtains an instruction on the figure-related process;
• if a type of the figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type unable to be drawn with the function data stored in the memory, (i) sends the relevant data to the at least one server, (ii) receives, from the at least one server, the drawing data, and (iii) performs the figure-related process on the display in accordance with the received drawing data without executing the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data;
• and
• if the type of the figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type able to be drawn with the function data stored in the memory, (i) executes an arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data without requesting the at least one server to execute the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process, and (ii) performs the figure-related process on the display in accordance with drawing data generated as a result of the arithmetic operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program of a system, wherein the program is configured to allow a computer to cause an electronic apparatus to:

• obtain an instruction on a figure-related process;
• if a type of a figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type unable to be drawn with function data stored in a memory of the electronic apparatus, (i) send relevant data including information on the figure to at least one server, (ii) receive, from the at least one server, drawing data generated by the at least one server executing, based on the relevant data, an arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process, and (iii) perform the figure-related process on a display of the electronic apparatus in accordance with the received drawing data without executing the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data;
• and
• if the type of the figure indicated by the obtained instruction is a type able to be drawn with the function data stored in the memory, (i) execute an arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process using the function data without requesting the at least one server to execute the arithmetic operation required for the figure-related process, and (ii) perform the figure-related process on the display in accordance with drawing data generated as a result of the arithmetic operation.
