INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROGRAMMABLE DISPLAY APPARATUS, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus communicably connected to a programmable display apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store a first character string and display area information indicating a size of a predetermined display area;
a calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the display area information, a degree of visibility of characters for a case in which the first character string is displayed in the predetermined display area using a first display format, and a degree of visibility of the characters for a case in which the first character string is displayed in the predetermined display area using a second display format, the first display format displaying all of the characters in the same size in a single line, and the second display format displaying all of the characters in the same size in a plurality of lines; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit, in association with one another, the first character string, the display area information, and first attribute information to the programmable display apparatus, the first attribute information being for displaying the first character string on the programmable display apparatus using the one of the first display format and the second display format that has a higher degree of visibility.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus stores calculates, based on a display area information, a degree of visibility of characters for a case in which a character string is displayed in a display area using a first display format that displays all of the characters in the same size in a single line, and a degree of visibility of the characters for a case in which the character string is displayed in the display area using a second display format that displays all of the characters in the same size in a plurality of lines. The information processing apparatus transmits, to the programmable display apparatus, in association with one another, the character string, the display area information, and attribute information for displaying the character string on the programmable display apparatus using the one of the first and second display formats that has a higher degree of visibility.
