Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory is configured to store computer-readable instructions therein, wherein the computer-readable instructions instruct the sewing machine to execute steps comprising acquiring image data including one or more characters, extracting, from acquired image data, one or more character designs with respect to each character included in the acquired image data, wherein the character design represents each character included in the acquired image data, generating embroidery data with respect to each character based on the extracted character design, wherein the embroidery data represents an embroidery pattern in a predetermined size.

A sewing machine comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store:
- one or more standard character embroidery data that represents an embroidery data of a standard design of a character and includes setting information;
- and
- computer-readable instructions that instruct the sewing machine to execute steps comprising:
- acquiring image data including one or more characters;
- extracting, from the acquired image data, one or more character designs with respect to each character included in the acquired image data, wherein the character design represents each character included in the acquired image data;
- identifying one or more characters represented by the extracted one or more character designs;
- generating embroidery data with respect to each character based on the extracted character design and the stored setting information, which is included in the standard character embroidery data corresponding to the identified character, wherein the embroidery data represents an embroidery pattern in a predetermined size;
- selecting specific embroidery data, in response to accepting an instruction for specifying a character design, from the generated embroidery data corresponding to the specified character design;
- and
- generating a signal based on the selected embroidery data, wherein the sewing machine is configured to sew an embroidery pattern represented by the selected embroidery data based on the signal.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store:
- one or more standard character embroidery data that represents an embroidery data of a standard design of a character and includes setting information;
- and
- computer-readable instructions that instruct the apparatus to execute steps comprising:
- acquiring image data including one or more characters;
- extracting, from the acquired image data, one or more character designs with respect to each character included in the acquired image data, wherein the character design represents each character included in the acquired image data;
- identifying one or more characters represented by the extracted one or more character designs;
- and
- generating embroidery data with respect to each character based on the extracted character design and the stored setting information, which is included in the standard character embroidery data corresponding to the identified character, wherein the embroidery data represents an embroidery pattern in a predetermined size.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, instruct an apparatus, which comprises a memory configured to store one or more standard character embroidery data that represents an embroidery data of a standard design of a character and includes setting information, to execute steps comprising:
- acquiring image data including one or more characters;
- extracting, from the acquired image data, one or more character designs with respect to each character included in the acquired image data, wherein the character design represents each character included in the acquired image data;
- identifying one or more characters represented by the extracted one or more character designs;
- and
- generating embroidery data with respect to each character based on the extracted character design and the stored setting information, which is included in the standard character embroidery data corresponding to the identified character, wherein the embroidery data represents an embroidery pattern in a predetermined size.
