Abstract

An image display device that displays image information includes an image retrieving unit that retrieves image information; a device status identifying unit that identifies a status of the present device; an image condition specifying unit that specifies an image condition that indicates a condition which the image information needs to satisfy to be displayed, based on the status identified by the device status identifying unit; and a display unit that displays the image information retrieved by the image retrieving unit if the image information satisfies the image condition specified by the image condition specifying unit.

Claims

1-9. -9. (canceled)

10. An image generation device that generates image information, the device comprising:

an image generation unit that generates image information;

a device status identifying unit that identifies a status of the present device when the image generation unit generated the image information; and

a device condition attaching unit that attaches, based on the status identified by the device status identifying unit, a device condition to the image information generated by the image generation unit, where the device condition indicates a condition which a device used to display the image condition needs to satisfy to display the image information.

11-12. -12. (canceled)

13. An image generation method utilizing an image generation device that generates image information, wherein:

an image generation unit generates image information;

a device status identifying unit identifies a status of the present device when the image generation unit generated the image information; and

a device condition attaching unit attaches, based on the status identified by the device status identifying unit, a device condition to the image information generated by the image generation unit, where the device condition indicates a condition which a device used to display the image condition needs to satisfy to display the image information.

14-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program by which an image generation device that generates image information functions as:

an image generation unit that generates image information;

a device status identifying unit that identifies a status of the present device when the image generation unit generated the image information; and

a device condition attaching unit that attaches, based on the status identified by the device status identifying unit, a device condition to the image information generated by the image generation unit, where the device condition indicates a condition which a device used to display the image condition needs to satisfy to display the image information.
