When a single page of a newspaper article or a magazine is displayed using hierarchical data 380, a guidance area 392 (indicated by a line 386 in the hierarchical data 380) for each article is defined in a scenario definition file. A plurality of guidance areas 394, 396 (indicated by lines 388, 390, respectively) are defined in the layer below, i.e., the layer having a resolution of a level that allows characters to be legible, so that the viewer can track the article from start to end. The displayed image is initially guided to the guidance area 392 upon a user request for enlargement (arrow F). Upon a further request for enlargement, the displayed image is guided to the guidance area 394 at the head of the article (arrow G). When the user having read the sentence in the guidance area 394 provides an input by indicating a direction or pressing a predetermined button, the displayed image is guided to the guidance area 396 (arrow H) showing the continuation of the sentence. |
