US 8,577,148 B2 · Image combining apparatus and image combining program

Abstract

An image combining apparatus includes a control section which acquires first position information identifying a figure on a first medium from an electronic pen by using the first medium where a pattern for the electronic pen to detect an electronic pen tip position is combined with a background of a image list, identifies an image from the position information by referring to information associating each image with a position on the first medium, further acquires second position information identifying a figure on a second medium from the electronic pen by using the second medium on which the pattern is formed, and identifies an image combining area from the first and second position information, and then associates the image combining area with the image; and an image processing section creating a combined image by combining the image combining area with the image associated with the image combining area.

Dependent claims

An image combining apparatus comprising:

a control section which acquires first position information based on a pattern on a first medium, the pattern disposed over a background of a list of images, the control section identifies an image from the list of images by using the first position information by referring to information for associating each of the images with a position on the first medium,
wherein the control section acquires second position information based on a pattern on a second medium, and the control section identifies an image combining area by using the second position information, and then associates the image combining area with the image, wherein the image combining area is at a prescribed position on the second medium;
an image processing section for creating a combined image, wherein the image is located at a position in the combined image that corresponds to the prescribed position of the image combining area on the second medium;
and
an output section for outputting data of the combined image.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including an image combining program to be executed in an apparatus capable of communicating with an electronic pen, the program making the apparatus function as:

a control section which acquires first position information based on a pattern on a first medium, the pattern disposed over a background of a list of images, the control section identifies an image from the list of images by using the first position information by referring to information for associating each of the images with a position on the first medium,
wherein the control section acquires second position information based on a pattern on a second medium, and the control section identifies an image combining area by using the second position information, and then associates the image combining area with the image, wherein the image combining area is at a prescribed position on the second medium;
and
an image processing section for creating a combined image, wherein the image is located at a position in the combined image that corresponds to the prescribed position of the image combining area on the second medium.
