Abstract

A storage unit storing first drawing data shared in common by at least two video frames among a plurality of video frames. A control unit generating second drawing data based on second drawing instruction data for drawing a portion that differs in drawing data pertaining to the plurality of video frames and generates the drawing data pertaining to the plurality of video frames by combining the first drawing data and the second drawing data. An output unit outputs video based on the drawing data pertaining to the plurality of video frames.

Claims (36)

1. A video output device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor that is coupled to the memory and programmed to:

separate out shared drawing data by storing, in the memory, image data generated in advance pertaining to a shared drawing portion that is shared in common by at least two video frames among a plurality of video frames;

for each video frame of the at least two video frames:

(A) generate non-shared drawing data, which is a portion of drawing data that is different between each of the at least two video frames, of the respective video frame; and

(B) generate combined drawing data of the respective video frame by combining the stored image data with the generated non-shared drawing data of the respective frame; and

output video based on the combined drawing data of the at least two video frames.

2. The video output device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to generate the shared drawing data based on drawing instruction data for drawing the shared drawing portion, before the storing of the image data.

3. The video output device according to claim 2 , wherein the drawing instruction data for drawing the shared portion and the drawing instruction data for drawing the non-shared portion are each based on Canvas specifications.

4. The video output device according to claim 1 , wherein the process is programmed to generate the non-shared drawing data based on drawing instructions that draw the non-shared drawing portion using a determined variable, which changes based on different video frame numbers.

5. The video output device according to claim 1 , wherein the non-shared drawing portion includes at least a part of a line drawing.

6. A video output method comprising the steps of:

separating out shared drawing data by storing in a memory, by a processor, image data generated in advance pertaining to a shared drawing portion that is shared in common by at least two video frames among a plurality of video frames;

for each video frame of the at least two video frames:

(A) generating, by the processor, non-shared drawing data, which is a portion of drawing data that is different between each of the at least two video frames, of the respective video frame; and

(B) generating, by the processor, combined drawing data of the respective video frame by combining the stored image data with the generated non-shared drawing data of the respective video frame; and

outputting, by the processor, video based on the combined drawing data of each of the at least two video frames.

7. The video output method according to claim 6 , wherein the shared drawing data is generated based on drawing instruction data for drawing the shared drawing portion, before the storing of the image data.

8. The video output method according to claim 7 , wherein the drawing instruction data and the non-shared drawing data are each based on Canvas specifications.

9. The video output method according to claim 6 , wherein

the non-shared drawing data is generated based on drawing instructions that draw the non-shared drawing portion, and

the drawing instructions include the determined variable, which changes based on different video frame numbers.

10. The video output method according to claim 6 , wherein the non-shared drawing portion includes at least a part of a line drawing.

11. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a computer to function as a video output device that outputs video, the instructions, when executed by the computer, causing the computer to execute the steps of:

separating out shared drawing data by storing in a memory, by a processor, image data generated in advance pertaining to a shared drawing portion that is shared in common by at least two video frames among a plurality of video frames;

for each video frame of the at least two video frames:

(A) generating, by the processor, non-shared drawing data, which is a portion of drawing data that is different between each of the at least two video frames, of the respective video frame; and

(B) generating, by the processor, combined drawing data of the respective video frame by combining the stored image data with the generated non-shared drawing data of the respective video frame; and

outputting, by the processor, video based on the combined drawing data of each of the at least two video frames.

12. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the image data is generated based on drawing instruction data for drawing the shared drawing portion, before the storing of the image data.

13. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 12 , wherein the drawing instruction data and the non-shared drawing data are each based on Canvas specifications.

14. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein

the non-shared drawing data is generated based on drawing instructions that draw the non-shared drawing portion, and

the drawing instructions include the determined variable, which changes based on different video frame numbers.

15. The non-transitory computer readable recording medium according to claim 11 , wherein the non-shared drawing portion includes at least a part of a line drawing.
