IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF OPERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL OBJECT, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544518 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF OPERATING THREE DIMENSIONAL VIRTUAL OBJECT, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation: The image processing apparatus described in the patent application allows operators to edit three-dimensional virtual objects and transition them to a desired state by selecting coordinates on different routes.
- The apparatus displays two routes after an editing operation, allowing the operator to choose coordinates on each route.
- Based on the selected coordinates, the apparatus determines the state of the virtual object.
- This process increases the likelihood of achieving the desired state of the virtual object after editing.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Ability to edit three-dimensional virtual objects.
- Displaying multiple routes for transitioning the object to a desired state.
- Operator input in selecting coordinates on the routes.
- Determining the state of the virtual object based on the selected coordinates.

Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus capable of increasing a possibility that a three dimensional virtual object after an operation related to editing is transitioned to a state intended by an operator. The image processing apparatus allows the operator to perform an operation related to editing of a three dimensional virtual object. The image processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to display a first route after the operation, display a second route after the operation, the second route being different from the first route, allow the operator to select any one of coordinates on the first route, allow the operator to select any one of coordinates on the second route, and determine a state of the three dimensional virtual object based on the coordinate selected by the operator on either one of the first route and the second route.
