Abstract

A display control method includes: inputting user's image including a drawing portion made by hand drawing and being a display target image; and performing image control including causing the input user's image to emerge from any one of a left end and a right end of a predetermined display region, on which the user's image is to be displayed, and moving the user's image that has emerged.

Claims (44)

1. A display control method comprising:

acquiring an image of an area, the area including a display target drawn by a user;

extracting a display target image from the image of the area, the display target image including the display target; and

performing image control by,

displaying the display target image on a display region,

moving and rotating the display target image displayed on the display region, and

changing a shape of the display target image using a selected pattern such that the display target image is moved and rotated continuously, the selected pattern being one of a plurality of patterns determined based on a selected mode from among a plurality of modes, each of the plurality of modes corresponding to a condition related to the shape of the display target image, the condition indicating at least an aspect ratio of the display target image.

2. The display control method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of patterns describes motion of a creature.

3. The display control method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:

generating and displaying a food object on the display region, wherein

the performing the image control includes,

displaying the food object on the display region, and

moving the display target image such that the display target approaches the food object.

4. The display control method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the displaying the display target image includes displaying the display target image on the display region of a screen, the screen having a three-dimensional profile.

5. A display control apparatus comprising:

a memory and a processor, the memory containing computer readable code that, when executed by the processor, configures the processor configured to,

acquire an image of an area, the area including a display target drawn by a user;

extract a display target image from the image of the area, the display target image including the display target; and

perform image control by,

displaying the display target image on a display region,

moving and rotating the display target image displayed on the display region, and

changing a shape of the display target image using a selected pattern such that the display target image is moved and rotated continuously, the selected pattern being one of a plurality of patterns determined based on a selected mode from among a plurality of modes, each of the plurality of modes corresponding to a condition related to the shape of the display target image, the condition indicating at least an aspect ratio of the display target image.

6. The display control apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the plurality of patterns describes motion of a creature.

7. The display control apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the computer readable code, when executed by the processor, further configures the processor to,

generate and display a food object on the display region, and

perform the image control by,

displaying the food object on the display region, and

moving the display target image such that the display target approaches the food object.

8. The display control apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the computer readable code, when executed by the processor, further configures the processor to display the display target image on the display region of a screen, the screen having a three-dimensional profile.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable code that, when executed by a processor, configures the processor to,

acquire an image of an area, the area including a display target drawn by a user;

extract a display target image from the image of the area, the display target image including the display target; and

perform image control by,

displaying the display target image on a display region,

moving and rotating the display target image displayed on the display region, and

changing a shape of the display target image using a selected pattern such that the display target image is moved and rotated continuously, the selected pattern being one of a plurality of patterns determined based on a selected mode from among a plurality of modes, each of the plurality of modes corresponding to a condition related to the shape of the display target image, the condition indicating at least an aspect ratio of the display target image, the condition indicating at least an aspect ratio of the display target image.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of patterns describes motion of a creature.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the computer readable code, when executed by the processor, further configures the processor to,

generate and display a food object on the display region, and

perform the image control by,

displaying the food object on the display region, and

moving the display target image such that the display target approaches the food object.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the computer readable code, when executed by the processor, further configures the processor to display the display target image on the display region of a screen, the screen having a three-dimensional profile.
