Abstract
Same message data indicative of one message is stored in a plurality of frame data corresponding to the number of frames for displaying the message for a predetermined period of time. The message data includes data packets of compressed data parts and indexes. The compressed data parts as data units (words) of the message are stored in sector data SD of the frame data and decompressed to generated bitmap data. The indexes indicate positions of the bitmap data and are stored in sector headers SH.
Claims20
An image drawing method comprising the steps of:
- reading streaming data made up of a lot of frame data sector by sector;
- performing an object drawing process to display an animation of three-dimensional images on a screen based on at least motion data in each of said frame data;
- and
- performing a message drawing process to display messages on the screen based on message data in each of said frame data,
- wherein same message data indicative of one message is stored in a plurality of frame data of said streaming data, said message data comprising a plurality of packet data each indicating a message image and a plurality of index data each indicating positional information of a message image;
- and
- wherein, in said message drawing process, message images indicated by a plurality of packet data are drawn at predetermined positions based on a plurality of index data to display a message on the screen.
