Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information display controller is capable of switching a plurality of screens and allowing a display to display the plurality of screens thereon, and includes a screen constructor, a texture atlas storage unit and a texture atlas creator. The texture atlas creator creates a texture atlas, in which elemental images as constituents of the plurality of screens are arranged, in accordance with an algorithm that takes sizes of the elemental images as references. The texture atlas storage unit stores the texture atlas created by the texture atlas creator. The screen constructor constructs the plurality of screens by using the elemental images extracted from the texture atlas stored in the texture atlas storage unit. In an event of creating the texture atlas, the texture atlas creator preferentially incorporates, into the texture atlas, an elemental image for composing the screen including more elemental images already arranged in the texture atlas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An information display control system which switches between displaying one of multiple screens, each screen having a plurality of elemental images of various size, the system comprising: a processor to execute a program; and a memory to store the program which, when executed by said processor, performs processes of: creating a texture atlas in which elemental images associated with one or more of the multiple screens are arranged in accordance with…
