Object image print service system

A system for printing an object image, comprising:

• an object image processing apparatus for processing said object image;
• and
• a printer for printing the object image processed by said object image processing apparatus,
• said object image processing apparatus being configured to:
• generate said object image by operating an object image generation program previously provided, according to instructions from a user;
• select an arbitrary part of said generated object image, according to instructions from said user;
• generate transition information of an object image representing said selected arbitrary part of the object image;
• and
• recover the object image arbitrarily selected by said user by operating said object image processing program using said transition information as an operational parameter, and
• said printer printing said recovered object image.

A system for printing an object image, comprising:

• an object image generator for generating an object image to be displayed and recovery data for the object image to be printed;
• a recovery device for recovering the object image to be printed based on the recovery data supplied from said object image generator;
• and
• printing programmed logic circuitry for printing the object image recovered by said recovery device,
• said object image generator being configured to:
• generate the object image to be displayed by operating an object image generation program previously provided, according to instructions from a user;
• select an arbitrary part of said generated object image, according to instructions from said user;
• and
• generate transition information of an object image representing said selected arbitrary part of the object image as said recovery data,
• said recovery device, with a program identical to said object image generation program stored therein, recovering the arbitrary object image selected by said user by operating the program identical to the object image generation program using said transition information as an operational parameter, and
• said printer printing said recovered object image.

A method for printing an object image, the method comprising:

• generating an object image by operating an object image generation program previously provided according to instructions from a user;
• selecting an arbitrary part of said generated object image according to instructions from said user;
• generating transition information of an object image representing said selected arbitrary part of the object image;
• recovering the object image arbitrarily selected by said user by operating said object image processing program using said transition information as an operational parameter;
• and
• printing said recovered object image.

A recording medium with a computer program recorded thereon to control an object image generator for generating an object image,

• said computer program causing said object image generator to execute the steps of:
• generating an object image by operating an object image generation program previously provided, according to instructions from a user;
• selecting an arbitrary part of said generated object image, according to instructions from said user;
• and
• generating transition information of an object image representing the arbitrary part of said selected object image, wherein
• the object image arbitrarily selected by said user can be recovered at a future time according to the transition information stored in a transition information storage location and said object image generation program.

An apparatus for displaying an object image, comprising:

• object image generating programmed logic circuitry for generating the object image by operating an object image generation program previously provided, according to instructions from a user;
• selecting programmed logic circuitry for selecting an arbitrary part of said generated object image according to instructions from the user;
• transition information generating programmed logic circuitry for generating transition information when said object image is selected;
• and
• a transition information storage location for storing said transition information, wherein
• the object image arbitrarily selected by said user is recoverable after said image generation program ends, according to the transition information stored in said transition information storage location and said object image generation program.
