<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance a feeling of operation by enhancing the efficiency of utilization of cache memory for storing image data, so as to shorten time until the display of an image. <P>SOLUTION: In the display of the compressed and stored image, when a decoded image is stored in the cache memory, the decoded image is displayed (S902-S903). When the decoded image is not stored in the cache memory, the compressed and stored image is decoded and displayed (S907 and S911); the time required to decode the image is measured (S906 and S908); and the decoded image is stored in the cache memory along with the time required to decode the image (S910). When there is no available space in the cashe memory, the image data to be replaced are determined according to the time required to decode each image in the cashe memory (S904-905). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
