Abstract

A partial image to be displayed is extracted from an original image. The partial image is displayed along with information, such as a radar display, that indicates which part of the original image is being displayed.

Claims

1. An apparatus for generating image data comprising:

selection means for selecting a part of a first image based on an operated key in ten-keys; and

generation means for generating image data, the image data including the selected part of the first image and a second image indicating a position of the operated key.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the generation means sends the generated image data to a device having the ten-keys.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the generation means describes the image data in a markup language.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the selection means selects the whole of the first image if a ten-key corresponding to a position of the selected part of the first image is operated.

5. A method for generating image data comprising the steps of:

selecting a part of a first image based on an operated key in ten-keys; and

generating image data, the image data including the selected part of the first image and a second image indicating a position of the operated key.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the step of generating comprises sending the generated image data to a device having the ten-keys.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the step of generating comprises describing the image data in a markup language.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the step of selecting comprises selecting the whole of the first image if a ten-key corresponding to a position of the selected part of the first image is operated.

9. A program for generating image data comprising the steps of:

selecting a part of a first image based on an operated key in ten-keys; and

generating image data, the image data including the selected part of the first image and a second image indicating a position of the operated key.

10. The program according to claim 9, wherein the step of generating comprises sending the generated image data to a device having the ten-keys.

11. The program according to claim 9, wherein the step of generating comprises describing the image data in a markup language.

12. The program according to claim 9, wherein the step of selecting comprises selecting the whole of the first image if a ten-key corresponding to a position of the selected part of the first image is operated.
