Abstract:
1. A display control device for displaying a screen image based on display data acquired via a network, the display control device comprising: a screen transition control section that (i) receives an event according to which a screen image transition based on the display data occurs and (ii) provides an instruction to perform the screen image transition; a light simulation data processing section that generates the screen image based on light simulation data; a display data processing section that generates the screen image based on (i) the display data and (ii) the event for which a notification has been received while a current screen image is currently displayed; a screen generation section that (i), when having received the instruction to perform the screen image transition from the screen transition control section, requests an acquisition of target display data which is display data that corresponds to a transition target screen image, so as to acquire the target display data and target light simulation data corresponding to the target display data, (ii) requests the light simulation data processing section to generate the screen image of the target light simulation data, and (iii) requests the display data processing section to generate the screen image of the target display data; a display acquisition section that, when having received the request to acquire the target display data from the screen generation section, (i) outputs to the network a request to acquire the target display data and the target light simulation data, and (ii) acquires the target light simulation data and the target display data from the network; a display section that, after the screen image generated by the light simulation data processing section based on the target light simulation data is displayed thereon, changes the display of the screen image generated by the light simulation data processing section to a display of the screen image generated by the display data processing section based on the target display data; and an input switching section that prohibits a change to display the screen image corresponding to the event according to which the screen image transition based on the display data occurs, before the display of the screen image based on the target light simulation data is changed to the display of the screen image based on the target display data.
