Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program realizing natural scroll display and high-speed scroll. The image processing apparatus includes: a detector detecting a scroll request; and a processor, when the detector detects a high-speed scroll request, employing a blurred picture created through a blurring process as a new picture required for a subsequent update of image displayed in a scroll region, thereby generating an image to be displayed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a detector to detect a scroll request; and a processor, when the detector detects a high-speed scroll request, to employ a plurality of blurred pictures created through a blurring process as an image to be displayed in a scroll region, wherein the processor, when the detector detects the high-speed scroll request, adjusts update speed of the image displayed in the scroll region so that a scroll speed of the plur…
