Patent ID: 8325382

Claim:
An electronic apparatus having display means for displaying an image in a predetermined resolution and configured for communication with an external device, the electronic apparatus comprising: fetching means for fetching image data from the electronic apparatus; processing means for processing character data in a form of characters to be added to the image data fetched by the fetching means; synthesis means for synthesizing the image data fetched by the fetching means and the character data whose character form has been processed by the processing means into synthesized data, the synthesized data including synthesized image data representing a synthesized image and synthesized character data representing synthesized characters; output means for outputting the synthesized data out of the electronic apparatus to the external device; and output control means for outputting the synthesized data to both the display means and the output means of the electronic apparatus and to the external device, wherein the external drive device has an external display means such that the synthesized image and the synthesized characters are provided for display on the display means of the electronic apparatus and on the external display means of the external drive device in an external device resolution being different from the predetermined resolution, the output means outputs the synthesized image data for displaying the synthesized image in the external device resolution that is higher than the predetermined resolution and the processing means processes the character data into the form of characters having a thickness in accordance with the external device resolution.
