Abstract
An image division unit divides an original image. Each divided image is assigned an identifier, and additional information for generating an image corresponding to each divided image. An image distribution unit transmits the divided image and a reference drawing to a corresponding image generation terminal device. The image generation terminal device displays the reference drawing, generates an image corresponding to the received divided image, and transmit the generated image to an image distribution device. The image generation unit generates an entire image by integrating images received from a plurality of image generation terminal devices.
Claims16
An image generation system which generates or edits an image using a plurality of image generation devices, comprising:
- a division unit having at least a function of dividing a target image into a plurality of areas or a function of dividing the target image into layers when the target image is formed by a plurality of layers;
- a distribution unit distributing images divided by said division unit to corresponding image generation devices;
- a generation unit generating or editing a divided image corresponding to the received divided image in each image generation device;
- and
- an integration unit integrating divided images generated or edited by the plurality of image generation devices, and
- wherein:
- said distribution unit distributes time series information defining a time interval of each frame and a total number of frames of a moving picture to be generated together with the divided image to a corresponding image generation device;
- and
- said image generation device generates a plurality of divided images corresponding to the received divided images according to the time series information.
An image generation system which generates or edits an image using a plurality of image generation devices, comprising:
- a division unit having at least a function of dividing a target image into a plurality of areas or a function of dividing the target image into layers when the target image is formed by a plurality of layers;
- a distribution unit distributing images divided by said division unit to corresponding image generation devices;
- a generation unit generating or editing a divided image corresponding to the received divided image in each image generation device;
- and
- an integration unit integrating divided images generated or edited by the plurality of image generation devices, and
- wherein:
- said distribution unit distributes image movement information including data indicative of an image element to be moved in a distributed image and data defining a basic movement, enlargement/reduction, rotation of the indicated image element together with the divided image to a corresponding image generation device;
- and
- said image generation device generates a plurality of divided images corresponding to divided images received according to the image movement information.
An image distribution device for use in an image generation system which generates or edits an image using a plurality of image generation devices, comprising:

- a program code for distributing the divided images divided by said function to corresponding image generation device, each of the divided images being distributed with information of a respective layer;
- and
- a program code for integrating divided images generated by the plurality of image generation device, and
- wherein:
- said distributing distributes time series information defining a moving picture to be generated, data indicative of an image element to be moved in a distributed image and data defining a basic movement, enlargement/reduction, rotation of the indicated image element together with the divided image to a corresponding image generation device;
- and
- said generating or editing generates a plurality of divided images corresponding to the received divided images according to the time series information.
A computer program product for generating an image by generating or editing an image using a plurality of image generation devices, said computer program product comprising:
- a program code for receiving a divided image obtained by dividing a target image from an image distribution device, and generating a corresponding divided image;
- a program code for substantially simultaneously displaying the divided image and changes to the target image using corresponding plurality of image generation devices;
- and
- a program code for transmitting a divided image being generated at an instruction from said image distribution device or at each predetermined time interval, wherein data indicative of an image element to be moved in the distributed image and data defining a basic movement, enlargement/reduction, rotation of the indicated image element is transmitted together with the divided image.
