2. Description of the Related Art Recently, Japanese comics have been widely read and familiar to people all over the world. And nowadays, more and more people are just wanting to write comics as a means to express their thoughts, beliefs, emotions, feelings, etc. by simply reading the finished comics. This is because it has been recognized that manga has a unique and abundant expression form different from existing expression methods such as movies and literature, and it has become possible to make delicate expressions.

[0003] Comic books of all genres are published, from the profane ones of nonsense gag comics to books that require advanced expressions of literature, economy, philosophy, mathematics, religion, history, science, medicine, and politics. , This diversification trend is now more and more advanced. It was not until the Japanese, who were extremely free and unconstrained in their morals, ideas, ideas, and psychology, that diverse and peculiar forms of expression were produced in manga. I was able to establish free-form sounds, colors, shapes, tastes, touches, and other five senses, as well as spatial and temporal expressions that transcend reality, without being affected by social or cultural restrictions such as morality. It has a great influence. It can be said that such a cartoon expression method itself is a great invention in which the inventor is not specified.

Usually, in the production of manga , a manga author writes a picture, and a publisher edits this to make a book. Manga author, specifically to write a piece divided based on the scenario that was conceived on paper, has produced crowded painting with a scene Dzu one writing instrument in it. And when there isn't enough time to make it, the assistant may draw a simple part for you. The expression of words in the comic is that the person who utters the words in the picture blows out (a part in which a sharp angle line is directed to the speaker, the speaker's mouth, etc. and the other part is surrounded by a round line). In many cases, the conversations and thinking contents of the person who speaks in it are expressed by characters (print type, etc.). When emphasizing, the characters may be written in a large size, protruding from the frame division.

From the completed comics, a movie-like technique, that is, animation is often performed. In order to animate a manga, there is a drawback that many original pictures have to be produced with time and effort so that the screen looks like continuous movement, but the work itself does not require much creativity. However, the production of the original manga requires creativity and creativity, and it is not easy to express what the person's talent is and what can be sold (read) without the talent. Also, even if I want to manage to write a manga because I am attracted to a variety of expression methods, I can hardly produce it because ordinary people lack the descriptive power and expression technology and it takes time to express. It is the reality.

So, trying to use a computer
Also, the past painting, storage capacity to handle the data of a figure in a large amount is too small, and because the calculation speed was slow to write the comic screen, was extremely difficult to carry out the screen processing. However, today various operating systems (OS), design software (CAD), word processors, games,
Spreadsheet, A, such as software and surface image processing techniques, such as work management
Application software is nearing its completion range, its usage is expanding, and anyone can easily use it without any specialized knowledge. ing.
Being able to see cartoons on the monitor screen is thought to help prevent waste of paper resources, but cartoons are not currently produced as they can be seen on monitor screens. Also in terms of communication, the exchange of images and character data via computers via communication lines such as personal computer communication and the Internet has become popular.

In the present invention, as mechanical and electronic system configuration stocked computer as input and output devices is one tool for making cartoons, also computer program software for operating the machine It is also used as an indispensable tool for making comics.

Next, the process of producing a manga will be described. The entire page screen for one page can be displayed on the monitor screen. Cartoons are usually completely expressed in one page or two linked double-page spreads. Although the entire page may be expressed by one frame, in many cases, the page screen is divided into small sections (piece division) and those pieces are displayed in order from top to bottom right to left. Express transition.

There is a preference for the piece division depending on the author, and a method of evenly dividing it (mainly in four piece comics), a method of not dividing (one piece comics), a method of dividing diagonally (mostly in comics),
There are methods such as the method of dividing into parts (illustration comics). Regarding the frame dividing line, it is possible to express freely such as three-dimensional shaded lines, sharp thin lines, and rounded corners. The frames are set as one frame on the monitor screen so that various display formats can be accommodated within the page screen of one page.

Then, the frame is made, that is, one or a plurality of frames of the frame division is selected and displayed on the page screen by enlarging or reducing it to an arbitrary scale and displaying it. Make it possible to write a picture in one or more reduced frames. In manga, one scene is represented for each frame. It can be written in detail to fine part if Re to expand its frame.
Moreover, in the expression of comics, a method is often used in which adjacent pieces are connected to each other, and pictures and characters are connected over a plurality of pieces to be overwritten. In some cases, it is possible to express that psychological and spatial associations are related by such a method.

Then, the written picture data is stored by assigning a number to each frame, and a plurality of the stored picture data numbers are selected and called up in a timely manner. It can be displayed in the frame or in another frame, and the data of the called picture can be overwritten and the new picture data can be displayed.
So that the data can be written. The picture once written is
In similar scene settings, the picture can be used as a background many times. Being able to display it in an instant is extremely efficient compared to writing such a picture from the beginning, which takes hours and hours.

In addition, one picture, for example, the hero appears many times, and the shape and direction of the face are often several patterns in time. Furthermore, if a part of emotional expression is added, about a person is filled with the accumulated graphic data. If this figure data is overwritten on the called background screen, one piece can be completed easily.

Furthermore, the data of those once completed pictures
Character data can be overwritten on the data.
The letters are usually written after the picture is completed. There are two methods of writing in: a method of directly writing on a picture and a method of providing a balloon or an enclosure, or a method of opening a balloon space and displaying it. There is also a way to combine those methods in a way that suits the situation.

The frames completed by writing pictures or pictures and characters are combined in one page screen so that the completed page screen can be displayed on the monitor screen. A manga is completed in which the page screens are sequentially given page numbers according to the scenario, all pages are produced, and the story is developed in the order of page numbers.

[0036] Then, one book of comic book and binding them to the page order and the completed printout to one page at a time paper all page number of those of the display screen is completed. If at any time print-out Allowed <br/> ability even after their display screen is allowed to manufacture the middle and finished, inspection of anew pictures and letters, it is easy to carry out the modification.

Also, the picture data and the character data are written and the whole page screen displayed on the monitor screen is further overwritten with the picture data and the character data. The entire page screen can be displayed on the monitor screen. Picture data requires a large amount of computer storage capacity. Character data can be written as a picture, but writing the character data separately from a word processor requires less storage capacity of the computer, and writing the text is also extremely easy. Become. Also, in the internationalization of comics,
Manga will be read in various languages, and in that case, it is possible to translate only the characters shown in the manga into other languages and replace them, for example, omitting the cutting work in the balloon. can do. In particular, when an automatic translator is currently provided, if only the character portion is converted into a language by the automatic translator, publication in another country becomes extremely easy.

When the image data input device has an image scanner, it is possible to input and read pictures, photographs, characters, etc. drawn on paper. Then, they are output to the monitor screen and can be displayed on the entire page screen or in each frame. Those pictures, photos, characters, etc. can be used as they are for cartoon backgrounds, sketches, etc. In addition, characters that can not be represented in the warp and Russia, which has been read by the image scanner,
That is, special characters such as emphasized characters and modified characters can be overwritten and displayed on the background of the cartoon, the sketch, and the like. Also, if you save it on paper, you can repeat this picture by displaying the picture drawn on the paper on the monitor surface with an image scanner and overwriting the displayed picture. Degrees are also available.

Further, having a model <br/> beam to the input device of the picture data, the entire page screen output to data of picture sent through the communication line to the monitor screen or display in each frame It can be so. That way, without having to carry the book
You can send manga to overseas and receive manga from overseas.

Further, the input device has a microphone and the output device has a speaker, and the designated section of picture data and character data and the entire page screen or a part thereof are displayed. Moves the cursor or mouse cursor to a section within each frame and clicks it so that the voice data previously written using the microphone from the speaker is output to the speaker. To do. In the past comics, the space of characters occupies most. However, in the case of a manga viewed on the monitor screen, it becomes possible to output the characters by voice while operating the monitor screen, or to finish without writing the characters on the manga. That way, you don't have to put an unreasonable blowout in the picture.

The data of the picture is three-dimensional stereoscopic data, and the stereoscopic data can be displayed by selecting an arbitrary viewing angle. For example, one person's 3D stereoscopic data
You can select the front, back, left, right, and diagonal directions by using the target, and you can express facial expressions and body movements such as limbs. Then, the three-dimensional three-dimensional data is replaced with the two-dimensional plane data on paper so that the three-dimensional data can be written and displayed. One piece can be completed by writing two-dimensional plane data made from the three-dimensional solid data on the called background picture in the piece.

Further, the picture data is a still picture or a moving picture obtained by extracting the still picture data from the picture data as a moving picture or from the picture data based on the television or video image. The momentary screen selected from the above is digitized so that it can be displayed as a picture on the monitor screen. After displaying the digitized momentary scene on the monitor screen,
This is used as the background of the piece as it is, or as a sketch.

The space surrounded by the data line of the picture can be repainted with a preset color and pattern. Although it is a general paint program method for drawing software, expressions such as coloring, hatching, shading, and blurring are often used in comics, but in that case, it is very easy to perform the surface treatment of the picture. it can.

Further, it is possible to use a general editing method of figure making software, and to provide a function of cutting and pasting some or all of the picture data in the frame,
Partial correction becomes easy.

Further, it is possible to call out and display a balloon or a balloon space by overwriting the data of the picture on the page screen, and write the character data in the balloon space. The callout can also be programmed as a separate frame for independent character data. Then, a word processor can be used to enter characters in the character data dedicated frame.

Further, when moving from the one frame to the next frame, the data of the previously stored picture can be automatically called and displayed in the frame. Since the piece screen is often continuous, you can make the next piece efficiently by calling the screen with automatic setting.

In addition, a picture data stored separately in advance
The data can be rearranged in the priority order according to the frequency of use, and the data of the draft picture to be called can be efficiently selected and called.

In the case of a manga produced by the method for producing a manga using the above computer, the data of the stored pictures are arranged in the order of pages and scrolled in that order in succession on the monitor. The completed manga can be viewed on the monitor screen by moving the cursor or mouse cursor to any section of the screen at the same time as the display screen and clicking to hear the sound from the speaker. You can see.

Further, the completed comic can be viewed on the monitor screen while arranging the stored picture data in page order and turning the page in that order. Further, it is also possible to turn over the stored picture data in page order, and when reaching a certain frame, enter the page of another story from that frame. For example, a method of rearranging the stories that proceed in parallel at the same time so that they can be moved is also possible. If you recall the past related to the piece, call related data and display it to change the story, explain the psychology of the person, insert the choices of the viewer It enables depiction techniques that cannot be expressed.

When the cursor is moved to the data of a part or all of the picture in the frame and the key or the mouse is pressed, the moving picture of the TV or video image digitized and stored is as it is or as a still image of the entire monitor screen. Or, a manga produced by the above-mentioned production method so that it is output and displayed on a part of the screen, and when the television or video image ends
