Claim 16:
17. A method of processing images that are displayed on a display device, the method comprising:
(a) executing, by using a computer system that includes at least one hardware processor, a game application program;
(b) generating, by using the computer system, first image data and outputting, to the display device, a first image frame for display thereon;
(c) generating, by using the computer system, an image for a first current frame based on blending image data of a first prior frame with image data of the first current frame, wherein a blend factor is applied to the image data of the first prior frame;
(d) based on generating at least a threshold number of images by blending with the blend factor applied to image data of a prior frame, switching to generating, by using the computer system, an image for a second current frame based on blending image data of a second prior frame with image data of the second current frame, wherein the blend factor is applied to the image data of the second current frame; and
(e) outputting, to the display device, each image that is generated for each current frame,
wherein the image data of each prior frame and the image data of each current frame are sequentially generated based on execution of the game application program.
