Abstract

An image display device includes: a display that displays an image which represents a first part of information content and that switches the image to represent a second part of the information content; a detection section that detects a contacting object which contacts the display; an image switch determination section that determines whether or not to switch the image displayed on the display in accordance with operation of the contacting object detected by the detection section; a speed storage section that stores a speed at which the image is switched in the case where the image switch determination section determines to switch the image; and an image display controller that controls the display to continuously switch the image to represent subsequent part of the information content at the speed stored in the speed storage section when the image is continuously switched a predetermined number of times or more.

Claims

1. An image display device comprising:

a display configured to display different images that represent respective parts of information content;

an image switch determination section configured to determine whether or not to switch an image being displayed, in response to an object contacting the display;

a speed storage section configured to store a speed at which the image is switched in the case where the image switch determination section determines to switch the image; and

an image display controller configured to change an image switching mode from a manual switching mode to an automatic switching mode, in response to the image being switched a predetermined number of times or more,

wherein, in the manual switching mode, the image display controller controls the display to switch the image in response to the object contacting the display, and

wherein, in the automatic switching mode, the image display controller controls the display to automatically switch the image at the speed stored in the storage section to represent a subsequent part of the information content at the speed stored in the speed storage section,

wherein in response to i) a first image being manually switched at a first speed, ii) a second image being manually switched at a second speed different from the first speed, and iii) the image switching mode switching to the automatic switching mode, a third image is automatically switched at the first speed and a fourth image is automatically switched at the second speed.

2. An display device comprising:

a display configured to display images;

a controller configured to change an image switching mode from a manual switching mode to an automatic switching mode, in response to a displayed image being switched a predetermined number of times or more,

wherein in the manual switching mode, the controller controls the display to switch the image in response to an object contacting the display,

wherein in the automatic switching mode, the controller controls the display to automatically switch the image according to a stored switching speed,

wherein the stored switching speed is a speed at which an image was switched in the manual switching mode, and

wherein in response to i) a first image being manually switched at a first speed, ii) a second image being manually switched at a second speed different from the first speed, and iii) the image switching mode switching to the automatic switching mode, a third image is automatically switched at the first speed and a fourth image is automatically switched at the second speed.
