| 20110154189 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - A display control apparatus that controls to display images so that a plurality of images are assigned to each page changes display from a page being displayed to another page according to a user's operation. Here, the display control apparatus performs pre-reading in which images to be displayed in pages other than the page being displayed are read from a device storing the images and stored in a temporary memory unit while the page is being displayed. In the pre-reading, a predetermined number of images fewer than the number of images assigned to each page are pre-read for each page other than the page being displayed, in ascending order of distance of each page to the page being displayed. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120133658 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A display control apparatus includes a moving image display unit configured to control a display apparatus to display a moving image thereon, a reading unit configured to read animation information including a plurality of frame images, a detection unit configured to detect touch on the display apparatus, and a display control unit configured to control the display apparatus to display a first frame image of the animation information thereon if touch on a specific position of the display apparatus is detected by the detection unit when the moving image is being displayed on the display aparatus, and to start a transition display of frame images of the animation information if the touch on the display apparatus becomes undetected by the detection unit. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120154430 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - When rendering a graphic according to the locus of an input position, it is determined whether a region which has been preset for the graphic to be rendered, and has the start position of the continuous input as a reference overlaps a region preset for an already rendered graphic by a predetermined amount or more. If it is determined that the regions do not overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, a graphic is rendered according to the locus of the input position. Alternatively, if it is determined that the regions overlap each other by the predetermined amount or more, control is switched to remove the already rendered graphic according to the locus of the input position. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120182324 | DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A display control apparatus is provided that allows a user to easily continue a scroll operation while making the user recognize a particular position when the particular position is reached during the scroll operation. The display control apparatus controls a display unit to display a display object in a particular order and, further performs control to scroll the displayed display object by a movement amount according to an operation amount of an operation member which is a touch sensor or a rotation operation member. During the control, the display control apparatus determines the movement amount the display object is scrolled so that the movement amount according to the operation amount is smaller when the particular position, a break in the particular order, is included in the displayed screen than when the particular position is not included. | 07-19-2012 |
