After displaying the drawn image on the graphic tool again (step S219), it is determined whether or not the green data is desired to be transmitted so far (step S220), and the data is transmitted to the server as desired to transmit the green data so far, and the server In step S221, it is determined whether or not the data transmission is successful.

As a result of the determination, it is determined whether or not the drawing is stopped if data transmission is successful (step S222). If the drawing is not finished, the process is repeated from step S203. If the drawing is completed, the server connection is logged out (step S223).

On the other hand, when the selected figure is a figure drawing (step S240), the input figure is displayed on the graphic tool (step S241), and it is determined whether the end point input is completed (step S242).

As a result of the determination, if the end point input is not finished, the process is repeated from step S241. If the end point input is completed, the end point is stored in the database (step S217), and the start point and size of the minimum rectangle including the drawn image are input to the database (step S241). S218).

After displaying the drawn image on the graphic tool again (step S219), it is determined whether or not the green data is desired to be transmitted so far (step S220), and the data is transmitted to the server as desired to transmit the green data so far, and the server In step S221, it is determined whether or not the data transmission is successful.

As a result of the determination, it is determined whether or not the drawing is stopped if data transmission is successful (step S222). If the drawing is not finished, the process is repeated from step S203. If the drawing is completed, the server connection is logged out (step S223).

On the other hand, if the picture to be drawn is selected, the color is selected, the starting point is set, and the picture is not drawn, the data of the database recorded in the current counter is deleted (step S250), the count is decreased by one (step S251), and step S203. Repeat from now on.
