Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When a display target determination unit determines image data to be displayed, a reproduction control unit identifies the type of the image data to be displayed. The reproduction control unit divides the region of a display buffer according to the identified type. While an image display control unit displays an image, on a display device, by using image data stored in a spare buffer, a decoding execution unit decodes said image data and stores the decoded image data in a divided region of the display buffer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing device comprising: a reproduction processing unit configured to decode image data; a display buffer configured to store the decoded image data; and an image display control unit configured to display the image data stored in the display buffer, wherein the reproduction processing unit divides the display buffer into a variable number of divided regions according to the type of the image data to be displayed and stores the decoded im…
