The input unit 3 includes a first input unit 16 (first input means) for inputting movements of the entire figure 21 and a second input unit for inputting individual movements of the arms 22, legs 23, head 24, and body 25. 17 (second input means).

  When one input of the first input unit 16 and the second input unit 17 is allowed, the other input is prohibited. In addition, information on the display magnification, state, and mode is also input, and the input of the first input unit 16 and the input of the second input unit 17 are switched according to the display magnification, state, and mode. The first input unit 16 and the second input unit 17 may be completely separate, or the same input unit may be switched by mode switching.

  The output unit 4 includes a display, a printer, and the like, and includes various information on the graphic processing, contact information, date information, period information, current information, graphic information, image information, text numerical data, and date / time data. Such as various data, an input screen for various information, a control screen, an output screen, etc. are displayed / printed on the display screen.

  On the display of the output unit 4, the entire moving figure 21, the arms 22, the legs 23, the head 24, the figure of the body 25, and other figures are displayed. The display magnification value, other values, status, and mode are also displayed. The entire moving figure 21, the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and the body 25 may be displayed by a printer, a hologram, a three-dimensional image display, or the like other than the display.

  The interface unit 5 includes a transmission / reception circuit for connecting a LAN, the Internet, and an external device, and is connected to an external device including an external input device and an external output device. Through this interface unit 5, various graphic processing information, contact information, year / month / day information, period information, current information, graphic information, image information, numerical numerical data, date / date / time data, etc. are also received from other personal computers. In addition to various data, other data, commands, setting / instruction data, other information, and programs are transmitted and received.

  The program / data storage unit 7 (internal storage medium / means) includes a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory, an EEPROM, an EPROM, and a CD-ROM, a RAM, a cache memory, a hard disk, a magnetic card, a magnetic disk, a CD-RAM, The storage device is roughly divided into two types of storage devices (storage means) such as a temporary storage memory using a DVD (digital video disk) or the like.

  The ROM of the program / data storage unit 7 stores programs executed by an information processing apparatus (overall circuit) for graphic processing and general-purpose data used for various processes. This program corresponds to the flowchart described later. Further, the temporary storage memory of the program / data storage unit 7 is used as temporary storage of data during program processing, that is, as a working memory or a cache memory, and stores flags, modes, and the like.

  The information storage unit 6 (external storage auxiliary medium / means, auxiliary storage medium) includes a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a flexible disk (propy disk), a magnetic drum, a magnetic tape, a memory card, a CD-RAM, a CD-ROM, It is composed of a mass information storage / storage medium such as a DVD and an information writing / reading device (drive device, interface circuit) to these media.

  In some cases, the information processing apparatus for graphic processing is a dedicated apparatus that performs a single process using a program stored in advance in the ROM of the information storage unit 6, and the program stored in the information storage unit 6 is A general-purpose computer device that is called into the RAM of the program / data storage unit 7 and started up as appropriate. In this case, the information storage unit 6 stores programs including basic software (operating software), system software, and application programs executed by the controller 1.

  Then, when the information processing apparatus for graphic processing is turned on or when a new program is started, the information is read from the information storage unit 6 and is temporarily stored in the RAM of the program / data storage unit 7. And executed by the controller 1. In other words, a program executed by the information processing apparatus for graphic processing is stored in the information storage unit 6, read as appropriate, loaded, and executed by the controller 1.

  In this case, when changing to a new program, the program itself stored in the information storage unit 6 is replaced, or the CD-ROM, magnetic disk, flexible magnetic disk, etc. in which the program is stored are replaced. (Installed / transferred).

  Further, in the case of a computer device that exclusively executes a program stored in the EPROM of the program / data storage unit 7, a CD-ROM, a magnetic disk, a flexible magnetic disk, etc. are similarly replaced (install / transfer). In response, the EPROM or the like is rewritten or the ROM itself is replaced.

  In some cases, the new replacement of the program is sent from an external device such as another computer connected via the interface unit 5 via the Internet line, telephone line, public line, or LAN line. In other words, a program executed by the computer device (overall circuit) is exchanged directly with the information storage unit 6 or exchanged with a program sent from an external device in Japan or abroad via a communication network such as the Internet. Or

  Therefore, in some cases, a program executed in the graphic processing information processing apparatus (overall circuit) is sent from an external device in Japan and abroad every time it is activated. That is, the application program is not stored in the information storage unit 6 of the information processing apparatus for graphic processing, and only the role of the terminal device that executes the program sent from an external device in Japan or overseas is the graphic processing of the present invention. It is given to the information processing device (overall circuit). Furthermore, a program and data processed by the program are sent together from external devices in and outside the country, and after the data processing is performed by the program, the result is sent back to the external device in and outside the country.

  The program executed by the information processing apparatus (computer apparatus) for graphic processing is a program by a general computer system in which an application program is executed based on a basic program such as an OS in some cases. This is a dedicated computer system that executes only one unified program including the OS. Therefore, these unified programs are given from external devices in Japan and overseas, and only application programs, basic programs, or part of programs are sent from external devices in Japan and overseas and executed.

  In some cases, another information processing system, system program (OS), and other programs are stored in advance in the information processing apparatus (computer apparatus) for this graphic processing, and the above programs are executed together with these OS and other programs. . When this program is installed in the apparatus (computer main body) and executed, the processing described in each claim of the claims (claims) or other invention effects at the end is performed together with another program or alone.・ Execute the function.

  In some cases, a part or all of this program is stored and executed in one or more other domestic or foreign devices other than this device, and a communication means is provided between this device and another device. Thus, data to be processed / data / program already processed are transmitted and received, and the present invention is executed as the entire apparatus and another apparatus. These communication means are Internet communication systems.

(2) Graphic processing information processing (overall processing)
FIG. 2 shows the program / data storage unit 7. The program / data storage unit 7 is divided into a first storage unit 11 (first storage unit) and a second storage unit 12 (second storage unit).

  In the first storage unit 11, input of movement information of the whole humanoid figure 21 input and instructed from the first input means of the input unit 3 is allowed and stored. Individual movement input / instruction of only a part of a figure of only the inner arm 22, only the leg 23, only the head 24, and only the body 25 is prohibited, and the information is not stored.

  In the second storage unit 12, only the arms 22, only the legs 23, only the head 24, and only a part of the figure of the trunk 25 are included in the entire figure 21 of the humanoid shape that is specified separately from the above instructions. Input of individual movement information is permitted and stored, and input / instruction of movement of the entire human figure 21 is prohibited and the information is not stored.

  However, the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 are actually integrated, and the program for moving the entire figure 21 is the movement program for the entire figure 21, including only the arm 22 in the figure and the leg 23. In addition, individual movements of only a part of a figure of only the head 24 and only the body 25 are also stored as one unit. Of course, both programs may be separated and stored in the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12. The first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 may be provided in the information storage unit 7.

(3) Overall Processing FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of information processing (overall processing) of graphic processing executed by the controller 1.

  The process of FIG. 3 is started by power-on or a predetermined process of executing the program. First, an initialization process is executed (step 11), error checking of the information storage unit 6 and program / data storage unit 7, and other initializations are performed. Is done.

  Next, a writing process of the input figure movement is executed (step 12), a reading process of the inputted figure movement is executed (step 13), and the writing process is continued until the power is turned off thereafter. The reading process is repeated.

(4) Input / Write Processing of Entire Graphic 21 FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of input / write processing of the entire graphic 21 in step 12 above. First, on the display of the output unit 4, the size of the whole humanoid figure 21 displayed on the display and other display objects are changed. There are many changes, such as specifying the zoom ratio of the display tag to reduce the magnification, increasing the numerical value of the reduction ratio with a pen, or narrowing two or more fingers on the display.

  As a result, the reduction ratio of the entire human figure 21 in the display becomes larger than a predetermined value, and the entire graphic 21 becomes smaller than the predetermined value (step 21). At this time, if activation / reproduction is instructed for a program that has already been programmed (step 22), the program / information of this movement is read out, and the entire figure 21, individual arms 22, legs 23 according to the program. The head 24 and the torso 25 are moved and displayed (step 23).

  As a result, if a program has been written and input before, it is possible to form a coordinated motion / programming consistent with the motion corresponding to this program. If motion information has already been input, this motion information is read and displayed.

  If activation / playback is not instructed for a program that has already been programmed (step 22), this program is not read and the entire figure 21, arms 22, legs 23, head 24, and torso 25 are not moved according to the program. (Step 23).

  Therefore, if motion information has already been input, is this motion information read out and displayed, or if motion information has already been input, is this motion information not read out and displayed? Can be selected.

  Next, when the whole figure 21 is clicked and moved with a mouse, a pen, a finger, etc., the whole figure 21 moves (steps 24 and 25). This movement is continued until the click is released (step 26). The direction, distance, time, and angle of this movement are measured and input and written as a program (step 27).

  In the example of FIGS. 8 and 9, if the entire figure 21 is moved along the stairs from the lower right to the upper left of the stairs, the direction, distance, time, and angle from the lower right to the upper left of the stairs are 1 in the program. As a result, it is input to and written in the program / data storage unit 7.

  At this time, no matter where the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, or torso 25 of the entire figure 21 is clicked, the entire figure 21 is translated in parallel, and only the input / instruction of the movement of the entire figure 21 is possible. Only input / instruction of movement information of the entire figure 21 is allowed, and no matter where the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, or body 25 is clicked, only the arm 22 in the entire figure 21, only the leg 23, or the head 24. Only, or the input / instruction of the individual movement of only a part of the figure of the body only 25 is prohibited. In this case, the input unit 3 is switched to only the first input unit 16.

  Next, when another movement is input from the click on to the off similarly, the entire figure 21 is similarly moved again (steps 21 to 26), and a program for the next direction, distance, time, and angle is created. The program / data storage section 7 is input and added (step 27), and is repeated until an instruction to end the above processing is given (step 28). The processes in steps 22 to 23 may be omitted.

  The movement of the entire figure 21 in step 25 includes backward movement, forward movement, right curve progression (clockwise direction), left curve progression (counterclockwise direction), lowering the pen, raising the pen, and erasing. . There are also forward and backward movements in the right curve progression and left curve progression.

  “Lower the pen” means “start” of the movement of the entire figure 21, and “Raise the pen” means “end” of the movement of the entire figure 21. This “start” is the same as the click-on in steps 24 and 34 described above.

  This “end” is the same as the click-off / end instruction in steps 26, 28, 36, 39. Erasing erases all entered movements. The pen may be a mouse, a finger, or the like, and can be substituted by mouse right-click / left-click and finger touch start / touch end.

(5) Input / Write Processing for Individual Graphics of Arm 22, Leg 23, Head 24, and Body 25 FIG. 5 is a flowchart of input / write processing for individual graphics of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and trunk 25. First, the size of the entire figure 21 and other display objects is set such that the reduction ratio of the entire figure 21 of the human figure on the display becomes smaller than a predetermined value and the entire figure 21 becomes larger than the predetermined value (step 21). Change the height.

  At this time, if activation / reproduction is instructed for a program that has already been programmed (step 32), the program / information of this movement is read out, and in addition to the entire figure 21 according to the program, the individual arms 22, The leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 are moved and displayed (step 33).

  At this time, it may be possible to select any one of the entire figure 21, the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and a part of the figure of the body 25 to be moved. In this case, according to this selection, only the corresponding program is read out and activated / reproduced individually.

  In this way, the above selection can be made for the entire figure or for each part of the figure. For example, a human figure is separately displayed in the corner of the display of the output unit 4 and clicked for each part to be moved. The icon is displayed and this is clicked.

  As a result, if the program has been written and inputted before, it is possible to assemble the movement / programming that is consistent with the movement according to the program, and the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, torso In the input of individual motion information for only a part of the 25 figures, if the motion information has already been input, this motion information is read and displayed.

  If activation / playback is not instructed for a program that has already been programmed (step 32), the program is not read and the entire figure 21, arms 22, legs 23, head 24, and body 25 are not moved in accordance with the program. (Step 33).

  Therefore, if motion information has already been input, is this motion information read out and displayed, or if motion information has already been input, is this motion information not read out and displayed? Can be selected.

  Next, by clicking and moving the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 in the entire figure 21 with a mouse, pen, finger, etc., a part of the figure of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 is displayed. Only move individually (steps 34, 35). This movement is continued until the click is released (step 36). The direction, distance, time, and angle of this movement are measured and input and written as a program (step 37).

  In the example of FIGS. 7 and 9, if the right leg 23 on one side of the staircase moves the leg 23 of the entire figure 21 along the stairs from the step with the stairs to the step two steps up, the right leg The direction, distance, time, and angle from a certain 23 step to the step two steps above are input and written into the program / data storage unit 7 as one of the programs.

  At this time, it is necessary to click only the right leg 23. By clicking only the right leg 23, it is possible to input and instruct only individual movements of only a part of the figure of the right leg 23. Thus, only the input / instruction of the motion information of only a part of the figure of the right leg 23 is allowed, and the input / instruction of the movement of the entire figure 21 is prohibited. In this case, the input unit 3 is switched to only the second input unit 17.

  Similarly, the left arm 22 is moved from a position approximately 45 degrees rearward of the body 25 to a position approximately 45 degrees forward of the body 25 (steps 21, 35 to 36). As a result, the same motion is input and written to the program / data storage unit 7 as one of the programs (step 37). Here, it is possible to instruct only the individual movement of only a part of the figure of the left arm 22, and the instruction of the movement of the whole figure 21 is prohibited.

  Similarly, the right arm 22 is moved from a position approximately 45 degrees forward of the body 25 to a position approximately 45 degrees rearward of the body 25 (steps 21, 35 to 36). As a result, the same motion is input and written to the program / data storage unit 7 as one of the programs (step 37). Here, it is possible to instruct only the individual movement of only a part of the figure of the right arm 22, and the instruction of the movement of the whole figure 21 is prohibited.

  Next, irrational elimination processing is executed (step 38). In this irrational process, the left and right forearms are separated from the upper arm, the left and right upper arms are separated from the shoulder, the left and right lower legs are separated from the tip of the thigh, the left and right thighs are separated from the crotch, A process of adjusting 24 so as not to be separated from the upper part of the body 25 is executed (step 38).

  Similarly, when another movement is input from on to off of the click, similarly, only the arm 22, only the leg 23, only the head 24, and only a part of the figure of the body 25 are moved again ( Steps 32 to 36), a program for the next direction, distance, time, and angle is created, input to the program / data storage unit 7 and added (Steps 37 and 38), and an instruction to end the above processing is issued. The process is repeated until there is a certain number (step 39). Here, the motion program that has already been created can be sequentially copied to complete the operation of climbing a number of steps in FIG.

In this case, if the forearm in the arm 22 is clicked in the above steps 34 to 37, the upper arm is moved so as to connect the shoulder of the trunk 25 and the elbow of the forearm (steps 21, 34 to 37). ).
Similarly, if the lower leg in the leg 23 is clicked in the above steps 34 to 37, the thigh is moved and programmed so as to connect the crotch of the torso 25 and the knee of the lower leg (steps 21, 34 to 37). ).

If the upper arm in the arm 22 is clicked in the above steps 34 to 37, the forearm is moved and programmed so as not to be separated from the elbow of the moved upper arm (steps 21, 34 to 37).
Similarly, if the thigh in the leg 23 is clicked in the above steps 34 to 37, the lower leg is moved and programmed so as not to be separated from the knee of the moved thigh (steps 21, 34 to 37).

Further, if the head 24 is clicked in the above steps 34 to 37, the body 25 is moved and programmed so as to connect the head 24 and the body 25 (steps 21, 34 to 37). Thus,
Of the movements of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25, the upper arm is restricted from the shoulder, the forearm from the tip of the upper arm, the thigh from the crotch, the lower leg from the tip of the thigh, and the head 24 from the torso 25. Is done.

  For the individual movement of only a part of the figure of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 in the step 35, the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 are respectively clockwise / counterclockwise. Rotate at angle B degrees over time A seconds, move E pixels in the X-axis direction and F pixels in the Y-axis direction over the time D seconds after a predetermined time C seconds, and move the entire figure 21 to the front. Also included are movements such as turning the entire figure 21 to the side, returning the entire figure 21 to the initial state, and starting the entire program. As for A to F, an arbitrary value is input by the operator / programmer, or a numerical value is set so that there is no contradiction in the movement of the entire figure 21 or the movement is smooth.

(6) Mode switching by changing the display magnification Mode switching by changing the display magnification, that is, the reduction ratio of the entire figure 21 on the display in step 21 is larger / smaller than a predetermined value, and the entire figure 21 is smaller than the predetermined value. In order to change the size of the entire figure 21 and other display objects so as to be larger, specifically, the procedure is as follows.

  The step 35 includes a movement such as changing the magnification of the entire figure 21 between 0.01 and 100, for example. For example, when the magnification is “1”, the entire display of the output unit 4 and the entire graphic 21 are substantially the same size, and as the magnification becomes smaller than “1”, the size of the entire graphic 21 to be displayed is reduced and reduced. As it becomes larger than “1”, the size of the entire figure 21 to be displayed is enlarged and enlarged.

  In the above step 21, programming of the movement of the entire figure 21 in the above steps 22 to 28 and individual parts of the figure of only the arms 22, only the legs 23, only the head 24, and only the trunk 25 in the above steps 32 to 39. Switching to motion programming is performed as follows.

  When the reduction ratio of the entire graphic 21 on the display of the output unit 4 becomes larger than a predetermined value, for example, “0.35”, and the size of the entire graphic 21 becomes smaller than the predetermined value “0.35”, Input of the movement of the entire figure 21 after step 22 is allowed, and the program is switched to the programming. At this time, it is prohibited to input individual movements of only a part of a figure including only the arm 22, only the leg 23, only the head 24, and only the body 25.

  When the reduction ratio of the entire graphic 21 on the display of the output unit 4 becomes smaller than a predetermined value, for example, “0.35”, and the size of the entire graphic 21 becomes larger than the predetermined value “0.35”. In addition, input of individual movements of only a part of the figure of only the arm 22, only the leg 23, only the head 24, and only the torso 25 after the step 32 is allowed and switched to the programming. At this time, the input of the movement of the entire figure 21 is prohibited.

  The predetermined value for this switching is arbitrary and may be other than “0.35”, or may be changed by an operator / programmer who inputs this numerical value through the input unit 3. In this case, before step 21, a process of inputting this numerical value, inputting it into the program / data storage unit 7 and writing it is executed.

  In addition, assigning an arbitrary expression to a variable, executing a series of assigned or created expressions to the end, repeating a series of instructions up to the corresponding END as many times as specified, termination, waiting for a predetermined time, etc. There is also movement. These movements may be input in steps 22 to 28 or may be input in steps 32 to 39.

  In the motion programming in steps 24 to 27 and steps 34 to 37, an operator / programmer may input a numerical value. In this case, specific numerical values of direction, distance, time, and angle are input. The processes in steps 32 to 33 may be omitted.

(7) Graphic Movement Information Output / Read Processing FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the individual graphic output / read processing for the entire graphic 21, arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25. First, if there is an instruction to change the reduction ratio of the whole figure 21 on the display, that is, the size of the whole figure 21 (step 41), the size of the whole figure 21 and other display objects are changed (step 42). .

  Next, the program is read and output (step 43), and if there are more programs to be executed at the same timing (step 44), these programs are further read and output in parallel (step 44 → 43).

  If the program that is read in parallel includes time data such as the following program that operates over a period of 00 hours, the next program waits for △△ time, etc. The readout output is repeated until just before this. If the program that operates over the period of time is the next program, this program is read out, output, and executed.

  The program read out and output in parallel is a program of movement of the entire figure 21 and a program of movement of each figure of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and body 25, and is read out in parallel. And output. In both programs, usually, the first programs are read out and output in parallel.

  For each program read and output in this way, each motion corresponding to each program is simultaneously executed and output (step 45). As a result, the movement of the entire figure 21 and the movements of the individual figures of the arm 22, leg 23, head 24, and torso 25 are simultaneously executed and output. The above processing is executed for each time data, and when there is no next program, the read output processing is completed (step 46).

(8) Second Embodiment Switching between input of movement information of the entire graphic and input of individual movement information of only a part of the graphic may be performed as follows.

  For example, in step 21 described above, the mode / state switching operation is executed by operating the cursor key, the mode switching key / switch, etc. of the input unit 3, and the output unit 4 performs the processing of steps 22 to 28 and the processing of steps 32-39. The above two inputs are switched.

  In addition, this mode / state switching is performed in the direction of the entire figure 21, arm 22, leg 23, head 24, body 25, or display figure background size, color, pattern, orientation, vertical and horizontal, front and side. Even if the state is switched according to the first predetermined operation and the second predetermined operation, such as an operation of changing the state / mode such as distance, time, angle, shape, movement, or other state change / mode change Good.

  As other mode change / state change operations, for example, playback mode / record mode / play mode / reverse playback mode / fast forward mode / fast reverse mode, attack mode / defense mode, write mode / read mode, first strike mode / There are various modes / state switching in the following mode, start mode / goal mode, activity mode / class mode / work mode / rest mode / end mode.

  Such a switching point may be arbitrarily changed. For example, among the above modes / states, a point that can be switched between A mode / state and B mode / state is a point that can be switched between A mode / state and C mode / state, or D mode / state and B mode. To a point that can be switched between the / mode and a point that can be switched between the D mode / state and the C mode / state. The modes / states of A, B, C, and D are the arbitrary modes / states described above. Thereby, it can be said that the switching point of a state different from a certain state can be changed arbitrarily.

  Thereby, when the state is switched to a certain state (including “mode”, and the same applies hereinafter) by the first predetermined operation, the movement of the entire figure 21 can be instructed, and only a part of the figure is included. When the movement of the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and only a part of the figure of the torso 25 is individually prohibited and the second predetermined operation is switched to a state different from the above-described state, It is possible to instruct individual movement of only a part of the figure, only a part of the figure of the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and the torso 25, and the instruction of the movement of the entire figure 21 is prohibited.

  There is a third mode / state between the input mode / input state of movement information of the entire figure and the input mode / input state of individual movement information of only a part of the figure, and the entire figure It may be possible to input both movement information and individual movement information of only a part of the figure.

  In this case, it is determined in step 21 that the display magnification is “medium”, and the same processing as steps 22 to 28 or the same processing as steps 32 to 39 is executed. In this case, in steps 25 and 35, the entire figure 21, the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and the torso 25 are selected and moved.

(9) Third Embodiment FIGS. 10 and 11 show a specific example of creating a figure, for example, a moving pictogram.
In pictogramming, there are two types of commands: pictogram commands that determine the pose of a humanoid pictogram, and pictographic commands that draw a figure along the trajectory of the human pictogram itself. A simple pictogram can be created. The creation process in that case is as follows. Take, for example, the “step warning” posted on a daily scene.
A. First of all, decide the topic (note this step).
A. The humanoid pictogram itself moves and draws the objects to be included (this time a floor with a step) to arrange the composition.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the above program shows an example of a program that is input by moving individual figures of the arm 22, the leg 23, the head 24, and the body 25. The body shows the body 25. The left upper arm, the left forearm, the upper right arm, the right forearm, the left thigh, the left lower leg, the right thigh, and the right lower leg indicate the arms 22 and the legs 23 that are further divided. The next numerical value indicates the rotation angle. Further, the following numerical value indicates the time (seconds) spent for the rotation.

  In other words, the same procedure as normal shooting is performed. Pictogramming emphasizes synchronous learning and creates content through the same process as the sequence of operations and operations that humans normally perform casually, and finally expresses events that are usually familiar to them. One of the features is devised so that it can be done.
